"My 17lb, Yorkie/Silky Terrier is a terror on squeakers. Usually destroys them in 20min. Not this tough Hedgehog. He is delighted with his second one now. The first one lasted over a year."

— Janie

"The title says it all. How hard is it to check a squeaky toy before putting it in a box? Three of the four squeaky toys didn’t work. Customer service replaced the non- working toys with three more non-working toys."
