goDog Gators Squeaky Plush Dog Toy, Chew Guard Technology - Pink, Large

I purchased the Dino Bruto Dog toy for my labradoodle who is quite fond of squeaky, squawky stuffed toys and oddly enough has shown a preference for purple. I opened the package with my hound standing by waiting for his gift. I detached the tags and attempted to squeak the toy. It seemed difficult to squeak or honk. I tossed the purple Dino Bruto to my dog who excitedly chomped to squeak. The toy squawked a couple times and then just quit. My poor hound was staring up at me with that "what's up with this" look on his face. I tracked down the website for the GoDog toys, not going through the Amazon return process. I called the good people at GoDog and stated simply that my dog's favorite part of the toy failed quite quickly and I was wondering about guarantees. I was told to go to the website and file a replacement request. The replacement request required that I include a photo which I did as directed. I received an reply email within a couple hours which stated that a new toy would be sent out shortly.I am happy to report that we received a replacement toy, not the purple Dino, but a colorful wood duck. The squawker device works well and is still performing like new more than a month later.It appears that the squeaker is not those little plastic squeakers but the bigger heavy plastic bag, bladder, with what I visualize as a duck call sort of sound device. I am guessing because I haven't seen the inside of the GoDog toys. I have seen the guts of other stuffed toys which use this type of noise device. While our dog seems to enjoy the sound of the plastic bag, bladder set-up squawkers, they seem to fail quickly and I tend to avoid them because of this. The toys using this type of squawker that I have seen, use what looks like a cheap lightweight plastic bag which is not securely attached to the "voice box".Since the GoDog replacement toy is holding up so well, I am guessing GoDog uses a heavier grade plastic bladder coupled with reinforced construction. The purple Dino Bruto toy still looks new even after multiple times of our hound grabbing the purple toy, shaking it at us with his invite to give chase or play keep away. Since the squawker failed so quickly with the new toy, I figure it was just a defective item which does not reflect the general quality of toys from GoDog.One evening our neighbor was visiting while his pitbull was playing in our yard with our dog. Our patio door was open so our dog ran into the house and grabbed his purple Dino Bruto toy. He is a bit of a show-off with new toys. Our dog then went racing back into the yard, shaking his GoDog toy at the pitbull. A quick game of tug-of-war ensued. Since this is a new toy, our neighbor leaped into the game and took the toy away from the dogs. In that short time of tugging between the dogs, the toy held together and did not even pull apart at any of the seams. There were no puncture marks either.This is a game our dog has initiated before with the neighbor pitbull. Normally, the stuffed toys are ripped apart almost immediately. I was surprised and impressed with the quality of the sewing which appears to employ some sort of reinforced construction or heavier material.I plan to make more purchases from GoDog toys. The toys are a little more expensive than some stuffed dogs toys but they hold up so well I figure they are worth a few more dollars. They are great toys that hold up well and the company provides quick responses to inquiries. I consider this a winning combination.

She has grown and doesn't bother with it anymore, however I recently got another puppy, and I don't know where she found it, but it had been hiding a long time. I now find it all over the house and she's having a great time playing with it. The squeaker doesn't work any longer, but she's having fun. This is the second puppy that has not torn it up with baby teeth. It's good as far as I'm concerned.

I originally bought the cow toy several years ago for our small dog. She's little but destroys her toys within days. This is one of the exceptions. I've included pictures of the damage to the cow. She has been used for a tug toy and a chew toy and the only damage is the little you can see in the pictures.I was so impressed I decided to purchase a couple others so I could toss some that were down to strings.I searched for godog toys and saw a horse and an elephant and purchased them immediately. In my mind they'd be about the same size as the cow.Well, I was wrong. If I'd looked at measurements I wouldn't have been so surprised when I opened the elephant.It's almost as long as my Maltese.She can't get her mouth around it.However my daughters 95 pound Staffy pit bull loves it. She destroys most toys quickly but Elly is in near perfect condition.When I make my next dog toy purchase it will be from godog. I plan to purchase gifts for family pets from godog.They're soft but sturdy and have squeakers that don't come out.It's the first toy my pup brings to me at play time and she'll chew on it in her bed.I have tried many different kinds of dog toys and these are the only ones I recommend to family, friends and total strangers looking at toys in a retail store. You will not be wasting your money on these. They are worth every penny and then some for the sturdiness and entertainment value.The only thing I'd say is to pay attention to the size. The horse is a second favorite, but I think that's because it's newer.I could not recommend any dog toy more!I truly believe they are the best toys available for dogs of any size.

It survived.I am a dog sitter at this point I would say it’s a profession even if it’s just the thing I love to do outside of my adulting job. And I got this toy for a German Shepard puppy who is going through his destruction phase. And has some separation/crate anxiety. He’s the black and tan in the picture. I had very little expectation that this toy would last, I laugh in the face of “super chewer” toys and wonder what chihuahuas beta tested them. This toy survived. It is still surviving months later.I will say it stands up to the chew but not so much the pull. The seams say no to 110 lbs vs almost 90 lbs of dog playing tug. But it prevailed! And it did not fall apart. It did not lose its stuffing. So 4 stars because the seams pulled apart within 5 minutes of the dogs playing tug but its lasted month with the beasts and the pup loves his baby.

My little dogs love this little guy. After few months it's still intact. Good quality so far

I have Boerboels and though these are the best toys I’ve found thus far, they are far from indestructible. My dogs usually have the squeakers out within an hour. After a couple of hours they’ve managed to get a portion of the stuffing out. Within a few days I’m picking up the limbs and ears. If you have mastiff breeds expect these toys to last a few days with the remainder to be tossed within a couple of weeks. Not worth spending more than $15-$20. Again, they are the best I have found for a soft toy for them and I continue to buy them. Just don’t have very high expectations.

We have two labs that play tug with this. Two months of rough play and not a single hole. Also bought the rabbit at the same time and it is just as durable. Very happy with this product.

Great toy for my 80lb labs. After 2 months of play it still looks new.

This might work if your dog isn't a chewer, but our small dog chewed all the fur off this toy within minutes. It's really cute, and has a fun sound, but it didn't last in our house.

Very durable for my little chewer and he loves it

Its durable, squeeks etc. My dogs love this thing.
