Holy Smokes, I Need Sound-Blocking Headphones
This summer I bought the smaller version of this alligator squeaky toy for my large malamute-mix named Rascal. He’s a big BIG puppy with an enormous amount of energy. Squeaky toys drive him crazy and he can’t get enough of them. The more squeakers the more hyper he becomes. I started looking for the perfect Christmas present for him and caught sight of this little guy. Couldn’t pass him up. 32 squeakers! Rascal would faint with excitement.This toy is a little longer than 4 feet long- which is about how long my dog is. It’s by far the largest toy he’s ever gotten. The head has a rattle in it. And the long body has 32 squeakers individually sewn into their own pocket- so even once he has chewed one of the noise-makers out, he still has many more to go. A few of the squeakers came defective, but I suppose that should be expected when so many noisy parts are involved. I don’t think he noticed. The enormous amount of racket he made with the rest of them kept him busy enough.The second I gave him this toy he bounced around like any kid would on Christmas. Excited as heck. He spent a few good hours flinging the toy up in the air, running around the house and yard with it, and just laying around trying to chew each of those noisy things out from the body. He hasn’t managed to get any of the squeaker toys out yet- it’s been three days of constant play. He spends a few good hours on it each day. The fabric is getting kind of slobber-soaked, but that’s presumable with dog toys. His dark black hair also easily sticks to this fabric, so it’s beginning to look a lot dirtier than it actually is. But I’m sure he’ll destroy it before my inner neat-freak feels the need to clean it.My biggest concern are the felt teeth and claws on the toy. They can easily be torn off and swallowed by the dog. If you want to eliminate that, prior to giving your dog the toy- just take a pair of scissors and cut them off. I just monitored my pup closely and took away the pieces once he removed them.Aside from the felt pieces and the fact the toy attracts hair- I think this was by far one of the best investments I’ve made for my dog. It’s huge, keeps him entertained, and makes plenty of noise! I’m debating buying sound-blocking headphones before I purchase another toy like this again. Very noisy! But he loves it to death, and that makes it all worthwhile. Highly recommend!

Cute, durable toy.
It’s about as durable as you can expect a stuffed animal to be. I have two new puppies who are still teething and they love these things. I got the Kyjen sheep mat version (it’s a square shape, rather than the two rows of squeakers) for the little girl. Both dogs sleep with it in their crate and we take them on trips with us. I’ve gone so far as to open up the toy and replace the broken squeakers (costs about 5$ for 30 large squeakers).The rest of the toy is fine. Our german shepherd puppy absolutely loves the rattle that’s located in the head of the gator as well. The rattle also helps initially getting the dog engaged with chewing on the toy rather than your clothing or furniture. Then they discover the squeakers and it’s endless entertainment and a good distraction for your dogs.I haven’t had any problems with the thin, decorative material that’s represent the teeth, claws and back fins. It’s a slightly thicker felt that’s soft and flimsy. Honestly, I’m not worried about it. Even if they were to eventually chew these off, they’re not a choking hazard. Our little guy has thrown up solid pieces of kibble that are larger and harder than this. Seriously now, common.The eyes are sewn into the head, so there’s no risk of pulling them off and swallowing.I toss these in the washer on a gentle cycle to clean off the slobber and dirt about once every couple weeks and the squeakers are fine, though they sometimes have to dry out to be 100% functional again. It never takes long.Overall, I love the amount of squeakers just due to the breaking problem with have with single squeaker toys. Once they break, the dog loses interest. Which is also a nice way to train the dogs the difference between the non-squeaking kids toys. The dogs absolutely love this toy and wont sleep without it. When the fabric eventually wears out (not even a slight issue after a few months), I’ll be buying another one.

Great toy but
The dogo loves it. Be prepared to vacuum up bits of green fur frequently (as often as it is played with). It is quite large with plenty of squeakers. I would not say it is durable, sturdy, or has much of a long life. However, most toys do not last with my dog. In 3 days, most of the stuffing (just some in the head) was out, and most squeakers were destroyed. After almost a month, there are still 2 or 3 squeakers remaining, which is not that bad. I would repurchase it, though the vacuuming can be a bit much. And, after nearly a month, it has not slowed down – little bits of green and yellow fluff everywhere.

Great toy for dogs that love Squeakers
Our boy loves these. The shear number of squeakers allows him to play with it for a long time before he torn all of them out. He loves to carry it around and looks ridiculous when he does because of how long it is. These are one of if not his favorite toy and I keep having to buy him new ones when he does eventually “kill” it. Great toy.

Dog’s Favorite
My dog loved this toy. Now, if you have an extreme chewer like I do, it won’t last long. By day two, the head was completely ripped off and half of the squeakers were torn out, but I gave it five stars anyway. She wouldn’t even go on her walk. Typically just saying the word “walk” will make her barrel out of the door at lightening speed. She hasn’t dropped it since she first saw it. It deserves a rave review just for her sheer enjoyment and how hilarious it is to watch her flop it around and rip the squeakers out. So, to sum up: PROS – absolute enjoyment for the dog, and entertaining for the owner, large size, tons of squeakers, on the whole, pretty durable for a stuffed toy; CONS – Be prepared for quick destruction if you have an extreme chewer (although you should know that any stuffed toy is not going to live long if you have a dog like this.), small dogs might choke on some of the small squeaker parts, legs, etc. Other than that, cute and fun. I would definitely purchase again.

Mi bóxer de 4 años lo ama y le divierte mucho. A unos meses de haberlo comprado aún sigue vive y con forma 😆

This toy keeps my dog happy and occupied. The multiple squeakers keeps him going. Expect a mess though but it take him a few months to get through it. Plus he lives to play tag with it.Great toy worth the mess!

Bought for my Jack Russell who decided he wanted the bigger one, bought for the American Bulldog. Luckily, they have swapped and all is calm amongst the 4 legged family.This one doesn’t seem as robust as the other, larger one, but, so far is still intact after 5 days and counting. One of the 6 small squeakers has given up the ghost, but it is being well chewed! The squeakers are a lot quieter than the bigger toy,thankfully, as I doubt I could take the noise otherwise. The original large one of this make, is still going strong after more than a year, just 2 silent squeakers! This smaller one will surprise me if it lasts that long tho’……time will tell.

It survived a corgi puppy. He enjoyed flipping it and attacking the paws.
