Tough toy for aggressive chewer

My 1 year old doberman mix destroys toys but needs something soft she can play with so she won't try to use pillows as toys. These Tuffy toys are wonderful. They last much longer than any other stuffed toy but the only problem is that once my dog gets the toy open, there seems to be an unlimited amount of fluff for her to pull out. Overall great toy and will continue to buy these toys for my dog.

Pros
  • I have a 70# labradoodle that loves this.
Cons
  • This lasted about a week. the dogs really loved tearing it apart

Another great Tuffy stuffed toy, but squeakers hard to squeak

This is about the 4th Tuffy stuffed toy I have gotten for my dog (pig, lamb, star before) who really likes to chew and shake and try to tear into these types of toys. She has not been able to eviscerate this one so quickly as it has many points to focus on due to all the fins, instead of just a few points (like the pig) that can lead to a quicker hole being chewed into it.The only thing about this Tuffy toy is that I did not even know it had squeakers in it until I was pressing it tightly…

Pros
  • I still find cotton from this thing occasionally :) it held up much longer than expected
Cons
  • not as tuff as they thought

The shark got bit! in my review

Sooooo. I read all the other reviews about this being tough but not indestructible. You were right, OK!? My dog LOOOOOOVES this toy, but the poor shark suffered some detrimental bites within the first 10 mins. Don't get me wrong, we still have most of the body with squeaker intact, but there's a significant amount of stuffing missing as well as the loss of several.fins. See pics. These are from the first 10 mins with "shark." You can see my dog Zoe in the background desperate to have…

Pros
  • Glad I bought 2. The cat likes this toy too.
Cons
  • He sure liked it. Seems to be good quality, but time will tell.

Can’t hold up to my 7 month old puppy

I have a 7 month old Lhasa Apso puppy and My puppy tore the teeth out of this shark in less than 1 hour. I had really hoped to find a chew toy that he couldn’t destroy.

Pros
  • Tuffy toys are designed to be interactive play toys and not chew toys
Cons
  • The seams can become frayed easily

Love, Love, Love - my new review

I thought it was going to be a little larger, but my Nikoh, a yellow lab, LOVES his shark! He seems to be a fan of the Tuffy toys in general (we have several). I highly recommend them for the active larger dogs that can be hard on their toys. We are repeat customers!

Pros
  • Can be used as a decoration in children's bedrooms or play areas
Cons
  • The material is not eco-friendly

very stout quality dog toy

I have a dog that when given a dog toy instantly goes for the stuffing and usuallygets to it within minutes. However even with his needle like teeth this toy seems to be able to make it about a week. To some that might not sound great but for someone with a doggy like mine that speaks bounds aboutthis toy. I highly reccomend this to every dog owner out there no matter what size dog they have. (FYI I have a medium size pitbull mix)

Pros
  • Can be used to reinforce learning about ocean safety and the animals that live in the sea
Cons
  • The texture of the toy can be unpleasant for some pet owners to handle

Will probably not be easily chewed up

Very stiff toy. 10 minutes my 10 month old lab had two fins off.. Will probably not be easily chewed up, partially because my don't don't seem very interested in it.

Pros
  • My dogs love it and it's tuff
Cons
  • 10 minutes my 10 month old lab had two fins off.

Airedale loves his shark!

Jasper grabs his shark every morning to take out back on his yard patrol. My dogs love these but can still pull them apart wish there was a material they couldn’t chew thru. It has held up very well even to tug of war.

Pros
  • My dogs love these but can still pull them apart wish there was a material they couldn’t chew thru
Cons
  • Our dog had chewed this to pieces within 15 minutes. Not worth the money.

A MUST for extreme chewers

Tuffy is the only soft toy brand that my 90lb pitbull doesn't demolish in 2 seconds. It takes him several months to completely destroy them! I will never buy anything other than Tuffy!

Pros
  • Machine washable for easy cleaning
Cons
  • The toy is too heavy for small dogs

Tuffy Toys are the Best for Lively Dogs

Best for our small/medium dog. Lots of areas for her to grab with her mouth, and tough enough that she can really have a good tug session with us. This is our third or fourth of the sharks over 2years.

Pros
  • Provides a fun way for children to burn off excess energy and play outdoors
Cons
  • The allure of the toy can quickly fade after a brief period of play

Best toy ever: my feedback

My dog loves this shark! He chewed off the fins on the first day, and now 'kills' the shark on a daily basis. He absolutely loves this thing

Pros
  • Squeakers are sewn inside protective pouches for your dog’s safety
Cons
  • The stuffing is not soft enough for comfort

He is a 90 pound lab with good chewing power

My dog lovers these toys! The stand up to his chewing longer than most! He is a 90 pound lab with good chewing power! That's my feedback.

Pros
  • Provides a sense of comfort and security for children during bedtime or naptime
Cons
  • The design can be too juvenile for some pet owners' tastes

Shark Attack! best in my review

Fritz the Boxer is in love with his shark! These toys are great, we have been buying them for years. Not indestructible but very sturdy for sure. This shark is Fritz's favorite buddy, there is shark attack in our living room every morning when he finds him. Except the shark is the one getting attacked! These toys might cost a bit more but they last longer for sure.

Pros
  • B00805FH1O
Cons
  • The colors are too bold and stimulate aggression in some dogs

Great tuff dog toy on my review.

My dog loves her tiger shark toy. Highly recommended. These durable toys are a big hit with the pups and hold up to the abuse they dish out.

Pros
  • Can be used in therapy sessions to help children with autism or other sensory processing disorders
Cons
  • The toy can be too complicated for some pets to figure out

Revainrating 1 out of 5

is a bad design. My dog is only 16lbs and killed .

Tiger shark failed. The tooth area, is a bad design. My dog is only 16lbs and killed Sharkie in no time! Don't buy. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Can be used to teach children about different textures and shapes
Cons
  • The toy is not soft enough for snuggling or comfort

He is still ALIVE! for my opinion

My GSD destroys her toys in just minutes.as well as her Papillon brothers! But bought 4 and all still alive and squeezing!

Pros
  • Can be used in therapy settings to help children express emotions and feelings
Cons
  • The design can be too scary for some dogs

Tuffy isn’t that tough or durable

I have an Australian Shepherd puppy that loves to play with toys. I was getting other cheaper toys on ebay and they were getting replaced relatively fast so I decided to spend $20-30 on a single toy. I was skeptical but went for it anyway.Not even 5 minutes after giving it to my puppy, he had a hole in the shark. If my puppy is capable of this, I’m sure bigger and more aggressive chewer dogs will go through it faster. Replacing cheap toys is okay but when you charge $30 for a single toy that’s…

Pros
  • Helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
Cons
  • The colors can fade over time

1 hour of use: my feedback

So, unfortunately my 40lb Boxer/Cocker Spaniel mix managed to only get about 1 hour of life from the Tuffy Tiger Shark Sea Creature Dog Toy. I gave it a sympathetic 2 stars because I understand that it's impossible to make something indestructible, but he's really not a big dog, so I was hoping I'd get a few weeks out of it at least.The fins were the downfall, incidentally. My dog managed to systematically rip each fin off. I thought we'd be okay because he couldn't get into the main body, but…

Pros
  • Provides a way for children to bond with siblings and friends while playing
Cons
  • The design lacks imaginative features that encourage creativity

Not as "Tuff "as I'd hoped

Cute toy and my dog loved it for about 5 minutes until she destroyed it. She's tough on stuffed toys, but I had hoped with the high "tuff" rating it might last longer than a few minutes. As it's fairly large/heavy, this would be a great toy for a larger dog that is not much of a chewer.

Pros
  • Made with durable materials that can withstand rough play
Cons
  • The toy is not machine washable
