goDog Dinos Frills Squeaky Plush Dog Toy, Chew Guard Technology – Gray, Large

Well made, minor issue was quickly resolved
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.

My XL American bully turns 2 Saturday and I got him this as an early birthday gift. He loves it. He immediately ripped the white tags off but other than that it seems sturdy. He loves stuffed animals now I don’t think this will last forever but seems sturdy enough to last at least a little white. It made his day. It’s day 2 and he’s only ripped the tip of the horn off. He loves it

Our shepherd loves this brand of dog toys. These are the longest lasting plush toys. Some are destroyed in a day, some in a few weeks. We are not sure why he can destroy some so fast. This plush is very cute but is not plushy st all. There is no stuffing inside at all. I’m not sure if it is a defective one or that is how it comes. He likes the plushy ones better. If it is a defective one I would love to know.

Not Chew Proof but Hardy
I have a heavy chewer, who rips her stuffies to shreds. She has this one for a few months now, and while it definitely isn’t in perfect condition, it hasn’t been reduced to shreds.

GoDog brand always makes great toys for my border collie she’s the type to like fetch and search and she’ll shake her toys around with playing. I’ve bought quite of few of these toys from when she was a pup until now her oldest being 6years and is still in good condition

Love this brand of toys. They don’t last forever and aren’t chew-proof but last longer than lots of more expensive toys.
