"I think they aren't a fad. Pretty tough for the chewers. My dog also likes to carry toys around the neighborhood on occasion and this one doesn't mind going around the block."
"Received yesterday and it’s already got holes in both fins. Was recommended by our trainer when we mentioned Penny destroys her toys quickly and was excited for her to have a stuffed animal to play with instead of rubber. Guess we’ll be sticking with Kong’s rubber toys for now"
Bottom Line
While it looks appealing, the durability issues make it a less reliable choice compared to other plush toys. If your dog is a gentle chewer, it might be worth a try, but for heavier chewers, consider sturdier options.
