"Oliver couldn't be more excited about his BARK STOP, GUAC, AND MOLE Dog Plush Toy from Chewy. This adorable avocado-inspired plaything has quickly become his ride-or-die companion. The design is absolutely adorable, but the real cherry on top (or should I say, the chips in the guac) is the hidden ..."

"This toy is super cute but I really expected the materials to hold up better to chewing. My 35 lb lab mix had it destroyed in less than a day. The black part shreds like one of those blue tarps when they fray. But if you don’t have a dog that’s a big chewer I’d recommend!"

Bottom Line

For light to moderate chewers, this toy is a delightful and entertaining addition to playtime. Heavy chewers may need a more robust toy.
