Review on TUFFY Zoo Giraffe Toy: The Ultimate Durable & Tough Soft Dog Toy For Tug, Toss & Fetch. Multiple Layers & Interactive Play. Machine Washable & Floats! by Richard Ahmar

If you read reviews on these toys, you may have seen a few of mine. To date we have owned 1 small blue shark (when she was a puppy), 1 Pink Pig (as a bigger puppy), 3 TRex, 2 Pterodactyls, 1 Turkey, and probably 3 Howie the Horses.Howie the Horse is Mama's FAVORITE. You know what I mean. It's the one she loves, searches for, sleeps with, brings to you at the door as a greeting. (Note: The Pterodactyl was one of my favorites to watch her play with).She was ECSTATIC when she saw a new play toy come out for her Christmas Gift and she also loves this guy, but not as much as Howie. (Howie is a 10/10 love. Girard is a 7/10 love).Girard's body size is similar to Howie, but his neck is longer (duh) and his head smaller. She can fit his entire head in her mouth. Given as a Christmas Gift here are 2 things that have happened (it's 1/4):1. There is a seam in the belly that looks to be separating. I'm hoping she doesn't discover this since her attention is on2. the ears/horns. Now opened (for quality control I'm sure.) and minuscule amounts of stuffing are being discovered nearby.People always seem to complain on these reviews that their dog can tear the item apart in minutes. I found that you have to make sure you don't just give these over and walk away. We monitor her play and if she starts chewing on it, we take it away. This is listed as a chew toy but IT IS NOT. I have also done repairs on these to make them last longer and help prevent the destuffing.Check out the measurements of the item. I purposely try and by the biggest ones since I have a large dog.My 3 instead of 4 stars is based on the weak seam in the belly. If she gets that open, it's Stuffageddon!
