Crazy Tugs Octopus Squeaky Plush Tug Dog Toy with Chew Guard Technology, Durable Fabric & Squeaker for Active Play, Multi Color, Large

Go dog company makes the best toys for moderate chewers. Piper loves the octopus.

My dog likes to play a little game we call “rip-rip” with any of her stuffed toys, and tends to eat what she pulls apart, so we have to be VERY careful about what we allow her to play with (absolutely no rope toys, and no cheaply made chew bones or stuffed toys). Her stuffed toys don’t last very long because she’s such an aggressive chewer (she can go through a 12” antler in just a week or two unless she has plenty of other chew toys around), and she also likes to shake her stuffed toys and then hold them with her front paws so she can pull and rip them with her teeth (she’s small in stature, but chews like a very big dog!). But this little rabbit has been through some very rough play every day for a couple months now and looks almost brand new! The only visible “wear and tear” so far is the dried doggie saliva that all stuffed toys end up having after being both chewed and loved on for a while. It doesn’t smell terrible (yet, lol), and there are no tears or rips so far. And the squeaker still squeaks, despite my dog’s repeated daily attempts to “kill” it. We chose this brand because we’ve had great luck with another toy from this company- a medium sized fuzzy ball shaped stuffed toy that also has embroidered eyes and a squeaker inside, which has lasted for over a year now with no rips (the squeaker finally died on that one, but she still plays with it). She’s now on her second fuzzy ball toy from goDog- we got the first one a few years ago, and it also held up remarkably well before we eventually replaced it, so I’m now a big fan of the goDog brand. She loves carrying her rabbit around from room to room (She loves playing “Go get your rabbit!”), alternatively killing it and snugging with it once she’s worn herself out. I purchased this at full price from Amazon, with no discounts or other considerations for this review. I rely heavily on online reviews when purchasing items, so hope this review helps you, as well!

I’m giving this toy five stars, not because it lasts the longest or is the cheapest, but because it’s by far our dog Chewie’s favorite toy. She’s had lots of toys, but she keeps going back to this one. She can chew on it by herself, or play tug of war with us (see attached photo for her requesting tug of war). It’s soft and gentle on her teeth, while being long enough that we can get a good back and forth going in tug of war. No, it’s not indestructible. If our dog decides to chew on it and really focus, she will rip it up. (When she really wants to destroy it, she’ll stand up and step on it, and then pull it up with her teeth.) So it’s not really possible to measure how long it will last—as if that’s an objective measurement to begin with—because it will last as long as she doesn’t want to destroy it. Among other things, Chewie will often pull its arms out of its sockets (and not just for losing at Dejarik...), and once she does that they’re almost impossible to put back in, without a lot of effort. But all of that is okay. We don’t expect these toys to last forever—literally no dog toy does, at least in our house. We can get a couple of months out of one of these, and even after their arms are separated they’re still good toys: the arms are just as good for tug of war, and she can continue to chew on each end (she likes to rip up the paw) as well as on the torso. Basically, we just treat these toys as a perpetual expense (Subscribe & Save, anyone??). We must have gone through like 15 or more of these so far, at least, and we have like 3 or 4 of them in our dog closet even now. But I’m so glad we discovered these, after about two years of buying lots of other plush toys, because Chewie loves these like no other toy. So we’ll continue to buy more, as long as she loves to play with them.

In this toy's defense, it definitely hung in there longer than my 7 mos old lab's other toys. This brand has the unfortunate tendency of hanging extraneous material all over their otherwise fine toys. Day one, she ripped off the rabbit's tail and would've eaten it. Also, while you totally expect a rabbit to have ears, they are also easily removed. And it's not like I have a lion in the house. It's a puppy lab. Mixed in with a couple other toys that died quickly enough, this little guy hung in there for almost 2 months. I'm starting to think that's a good run because so, so, so many other toys have gotten fubar'd quite a bit faster. Again, not a lion. A puppy. A lab. It's also a shame that the filling is so easily swallowed. It's not cotton or anything, but a white, fibrous packing that can be ingested very simply. Good enough product with some regretful and easily avoided flaws if the design was better. A.

My greyhound and pit mix both love it. I've witnessed a brutal tug of war between the two involving this toy and remarkably, it has survived so far without being torn apart.

My dog had it ripped apart and stuffing out as soon as he started playing with it. I have not found a toy yet that he can’t destroy. Now that being said. My dog is a Belgian maligator. The toy can’t use indestructible. I bought a few different ones and he destroyed them all.

My Am Staff loves to suckle as a comfort due to being blind from birth. Her favourite Dino had seen better days and was not available, thought with all the legs this may be good substitute. Taken a while for her to get use to it but she’s getting there and now searches for it if she needs some comfort.

Despite being soft and fluffy, my dog cannot destroy it, despite a very good try!

De très mauvaise qualité. A peine dans la gueule de mon shih tsu, toute une partie des poils s'est détachée. Merci à Amazon de m'avoir remboursée. Je déconseille fortement.

Excelente producto para mí perro salchicha

My dog absolutely loved this toy as a puppy. He dragged it everywhere with him, and even slept with it. It's the only toy to survive his puppyhood. He's three years old now and still needs to destroy all toys, no matter what the material is...even a black rubber Kong doesn't last more than five minutes with him. Anything with a squeaker in it lasts a few minutes at most. He did manage to chew off the tail during his puppy teething stage. This is because it's sewn on to the body separately, with only about an inch of stitching. Genius design otherwise... The fabric is exceptionally strong. An arm and leg is made as a single tube-style unit which slides through holes in the body; two on each side. This makes the toy perfect for playing tug-of war without fear of ripping off the limbs. It's also a great toy for tossing about in a game of fetch. My dog loves the five squeakers in this toy (one in the body, and one in each of the hands and feet). The loss of its tail did not detract from his pleasure of this otherwise hardy toy. I couldn't throw out his original monkey for sentimental reasons. A few months ago, he found it buried in a basket and resurrected it. It's still his favourite toy so I decided to treat him with a new one, and he loves this one just as much... One month later, all limbs, squeakers, and tail still intact. I highly recommend this toy!
