Quick Verdict

The GoDog Llamas Noodle Chew Guard Squeaky Plush Dog Toy is generally durable and enjoyed by dogs, but it has significant safety concerns due to the noodle strings that can be pulled out and pose a choking hazard. Several reviews mention that the toy was shredded in minutes and that the squeaker was easily removed. The toy's durability and safety issues make it a less than ideal choice for many owners, and the joy of the dogs, mostly horses, is diminished by the safety concerns.
