Not necessarily. Toys may break quickly, posing a choking hazard.

Highlighted Reviews

β€” Susan

"All three of my dogs love the Octopus toys and fight over them. They love the squeaker, crinkle sounds and I love that there is no stuffing. Before too long my dogs break open the stuffed toys, pulls out the stuffing and eats it. The crinkly stuffing free is all they will get in the future."

β€” Jacque

"Titan just looked at them and hasn't been interested in playing with them. We've tried to play with them but he just walked away. It's been over a week and I'm afraid they are destined to go to goodwill."

Bottom Line

A safer alternative to stuffed toys, but may not last as long as expected for heavy chewers.
