Highlighted Reviews

"Our tough chewer love Ella- she still destroyed it, but it lasted longer than most toys (upwards of a week). Great weight and structure"

— Maria

"We received this toy today, she didn’t play with it for 10 minutes before the stitching broke and the stuffing started coming out, disappointing even if I had low expectations. Even weak toys have lasted more than this. Funny enough it looks and feels resistant, but probably one of the weakest toy..."

Bottom Line

While the KONG Cozie Ultra Ella Elephant Dog Toy is a fun toy for dogs, its poor durability and stitching issues make it a poor investment if you are buying a plush toy that can withstand daily chewing. For dogs that are less likely to destroy toys quickly, smaller dogs or use it for interactive fun it may work better. Avoiding this toy is the recommended behaviour from this review.
