"...our 15 week old puppy (Aussiedoodle) tore the stitches and pulled the stuffing out. In about three days, the squeaker was pulled out...." Read more

"...It was a completely saturated small piece of fluff that still had a shape and was cold and wet (imagine a fuzzy wet fat slug)...." Read more

It's still hanging in there!

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2023

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Number of Items: 1Verified Purchase

So far this toy has lasted longer than any other toy we’ve bought for our German shepherd/potcake mix. By far.

This poor pup loves toys, but they just cannot love him back. I have never seen a dog so proud and happy to have a new toy as this guy, but have yet to find one that can hold up to his aggressive love. Even when supervised, he would destroy most of his toys-- even so-called “indestructible” toys--within minutes.

Not Blue Monkey. He got this for his first birthday on July 1 and so far, it is still hanging in there.

We have learned some lessons along the way. For one thing, he is not allowed unlimited access or unsupervised play. Blue Monkey only comes out when we can keep an eye on him. But he loves this toy. He carries it outside when he needs to go potty. He naps with his chin resting on it. If we even say the words “Blue Monkey” he will get up and search for him. And boy, oh boy, do his eyes light up when he finds it.

Three weeks in and several hours of play and doggy happiness (and lots and lots of slobber) and there are minimal signs of wear. The nose and ears are still attached, one string from under the nose down to the mouth came unattached and we simply snipped it off. There is a small tear on one ear, and we are watching that, if it gets too loose we will cut it off so he does not decide to tear at it.

Do I think this toy will last for months and months? Probably not. But the fact that it has lasted this long without falling apart is an encouraging sign. Best of all, it makes our pup ridiculously happy -- so it's well worth the price. He has even stopped stealing (and obliterating) the kitty's toys now that he has his own. Which certainly makes the kitty more willing to tolerate the pup.

We will definitely be purchasing more of these toys.

Bought this for the balls since our dogs chew up EVERYTHING! The little bear is so cute, but unfortunately he didn’t last long, but the balls still look great and have held up extremely well.

We need a bear so Husky would stop stealing a now vintage childhood toy bear. Hopefully, he has one of his own and will think it's a good trade.
It's very cute ( being held for Christmas so can't talk about durability but Kong toys usually hold up to serious chewing)
This was listed for medium/large dogs, but it really small and more suitable for small to smallish medium dogs.
Still, it's Kong and sounds sturdily built so we plan to use it as a travel toy - probably not a daily house toy for our Husky.
It is very cute and looks well made. Of course. It's Kong.

I have always been happy with your products, but I’m very disappointed my dog loves her squeaky toys she’s a medium size 4-year-old lab mix, and within 20 minutes she has destroyed one of the balls and the bear. I am very disappointed.
Have you done something to your products to lessen the quality? The last two balls I bought lasted me four years and the only reason she has destroyed them was because I left in the sun and they turned to an egg shape , that’s on me. Why are the Kong balls and teddy bear? I just got today are destroyed within 20 minutes? Very unhappy. I have bragged about your products and giving away your products for the purchase myself. Tell the dog lovers so they can test your products and you diminish your products why? Dogs deserve better than that. and if I don’t produce at least 100 characters then they won’t even post this text, so what’s the timing is simmer really if you have a bad product or you don’t and you have bad products do something it. I hope this is at least 100 characters. OK it’s not so red Kong ball for me and size dogs socks are used to be good now socks but two falls have no more squeaky and there didn’t last 20 minutes don’t buy it. Hopefully this is enough hunter characters for me to post my text. Nope it’s not so do you whenever my love life what you wanna hear I should not have to post so many characters to get this posted. This is bad products my dog loves the products but the product is not exchanged. Don’t buy it it’s not worth it. I keep my dog 20 minutes of joy cost me $30. Thank you very much and now missing her half of the post hundred characters is costing me money. Thank you have a nice day.

Adorable. Well made. Most dogs will get a good amount of fun play with it. However, I happen to be owned by a crazy anxious jack Russell terrier who had it destroyed within an hour.
