"Multiple squeakers kept my pit mix busy. No stuffing to clean up - big plus for me!!"

β€” Jasper

"the outer (pink) part of this toy shredded in smallest fibers as pet "attacked" his new pink pig. I was concerned about him inhaling the fibers. Fabric broke down immediately.. We threw it away. Just FYI: we have purched toys like this for our 10 yr old/12 # dachshund many times, this is an inferior..."

The toy is suitable for dogs who enjoy plush toys and squeakers, but buyers should be aware of potential durability issues. It might be a good value for short-term use but may not hold up for long-term play.
