Review on World'S Toughest Soft Dog Toy - Zoo Junior Toucan By TUFFY: Durable And Strong, Perfect For Interactive Play (Tug, Toss, And Fetch). Machine Washable And Floats. by Richard Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not *that* tough . but still an excellent toy!

These Tuffy toys are NOT indestructible, but I'm giving it 5 stars.My 9-month-old English setter, a very determined dog, suck/chewed open a seam within one week. I don't care, it's one of the best toys we've had. Most plush toys last five minutes, so a week before entry is made? Fantastic. The fiber inside was easy to remove once the hole was made and it took about two weeks before it was totally empty of stuffing. She's spent the last three months slowly making a rag out of it.It absolutely has kept her busy and not bored (as hunting breeds often get despite vigilant exercising.) The toucan now-a-husk and also the shark now-a-husk are favorites for tugging games with her litter mate, Pete, that comes over to play frequently. The toy is definitely sturdy. It also doesn't have a squeaker. That means, she can wake up at night with her extra energy --she has a lot -- give it a little chomp, and it doesn't make an alarming squeaky racket. (We've had a bit of trouble finding appropriate nighttime toys . bones are grindingly loud, other toys squeak, one even sings happy birthday -- omg.)We have a HuggleHound that she has not been able to destroy at all that we bought at about the same time . but it makes a wheezing sound that is hilarious but, again, not good for at night. I also don't find that she enjoys the HH with the same enthusiasm as she does the Tuffy toys.The toucan was harder to bust open than the shark. I'm going to try the penguin next, but I suspect a flipper will be taken out pretty quickly.If you are looking for a quiet, distracting, and fairly hearty plush toy for a determined chewer, this will work . for a little while!

Pros
  • Helps dogs work off excess energy
Cons
  • May not be strong enough for dogs who enjoy ripping their toys apart
