Stuffing-Free Lil' Squeak Monkey Plush Dog Toy

I found this toy used at a thrift store almost 1 year ago. My Shih tzu mix loved it so much till all the seams ripped out and 2 out of 3 squeekers fell out and it was shambles, hardly usable at all. 1 week ago I decided to try my luck to find a similar shark toy for Finnegan. I couldn't believe my eyes when I found THE EXACT same toy!! When I unboxed it, I put the old and new side-by-side and imagine his surprise, it was priceless! Very pleased with this.

Unbelievable. See below previous reviews. Today is 3/22/2023 (4th Update): Cavachon is now three years old. THIS MONKEY is STILL played with DAILY. She’s played with and lost interest in dozens of other toys in the past three years, but Monkey is always the go-to. Now only on Monkey #6, which is remarkable considering the daily torture she puts Monkey through. Other toys get destroyed, but Monkey endures. This toy is our dog’s best friend and playmate! 10/9/21 (3rd update): Its rare that any toy (without food inside) keeps the interest of our Cavachon for even 30 minutes… yet day after day, she runs around with Monkey for at least an hour. She’s on her 4th Monkey… and this thing gets mauled, chewed, super-squeaked, fetched, and shook violently EVERY DAY. Durability times ten! 2/21/21 (2nd Update): Crazy pup is now 14 months old, and she plays DAILY with “monkey”! She’s on her third monkey because eventually she pulls off the tail, but each of her first two lasted months. ORIGINAL REVIEW MAY 2020: There is something really special about this monkey... Our 5-month-old Cavachon LOVES this toy. I recently ordered a second one, in case she wears out the first one. She knows it’s her “monkey” and finds it when we ask her “Where’s monkey?” She fetches it, walks around squeaking it, and she also zooms around the house shaking it furiously by the tail. She’s been playing with, and chewing on all parts of It, DAILY for three months. In the photo, you can compare the brand-new one, still on the cardboard, with the one she’s mauled for three months. Not much difference. I would say this is an extremely durable, and safe, toy.

My dogs favorite toy....I have ordered about 6 of these....she loves her monkeys.

Nice toy with minimal appendages - meaning that body parts are not quickly chewed off. I made the mistake of getting this one along with one for the Large dog. This monkey is intended to be a small dog toy and as soon as I felt it, I knew my English Shepherd of 8 months would probably have it torn up within a day or two. I really like the design - no ropes or braids or legs, no small pieces for the eyes, etc. The monkey does have a small curly-Q tail but so far it's stayed attached to the monkey. It's durability has surprised me so far. For years I have had a Jack Russell terrier, which I think might be considered a small/medium dog (at least mine was). This toy would have lasted him weeks or even months, he didn't set out to eat his toys. Now I have an English Shepherd and I forget that she's probably considered a large dog. She rarely chews up anything EXCEPT her toys, but when she gets a new toy, she spends hours "getting to know it" and she's got pretty sharp teeth. The fabric on this toy is durable, not easily torn. Because there is no stuffing the squeaker is easy for the dog to squeak - and if your dog hasn't had squeaky toys before, that might freak them out just a little, it did my dog, she started off apprehensive of the toy but quickly grew to enjoy it. Because this toy is hollow and not dense, my dog doesn't chew on it the same way as she did her rope-style toy, and therefore this toy has lasted longer than the KONG Pudge Braidz Pig Dog Toy, Medium/Large toy (which lasted about 10 minutes). Someone else here posted some good pictures of their larger sized dog with this toy, and that dog looks to be about the same size as mine. That person stated the toy didn't last long and showed pictures of how it looked after being dismantled. I expect that to happen to this one since that dog's size is similar to mine, although it's lasted so far more than a day. I guess it partially depends on not just the toy but the dog, too. Because there's no density to this toy, my dog doesn't seem to want to chew it like she does a bone, instead she tosses and wrestles it, occasionally making it squeak, then lies down next to it and takes a nap. All in all, this is so far, my favorite dog toy brand. It's less dangerous than the Kong toys or the Nylabone toys, and especially less dangerous than the rope style toys. I purchased several other Petstages toys and so far, they have lasted longer than any other brand, including those named. I just should have been more attentive to the recommended dog size, as this toy is clearly not ideal for large dogs. The Petstages Gator toy is better for a large dog. I have also purchased that one and find it much more suitable.

Only 3 stars because the long fur is nasty and dogs chew it and it comes off … choking hazard. I trim it when I get them. The fabric is to easily tear doednt last long they should make this much stronger. I’ve bought 4 of these and about to buy 2 more my dogs love them.

we have a very large silver lab that tears through toys, and very fast! some toys only last a day while others last a week or so... he has yet to tear this on up at all and we have had it for about 3 weeks. we also have a very small teacup yorkie, so some toys we get he cannot even play with, this one he can squeak and carry around which is great! it very quickly became one of their favorite toys! will buy again if he ever does destroy it !!! update: after a month of the lab and small yorkie playing with this some of the fabric stared to tear on the end of the toy, they still love it and it still squeaks perfectly fine. didn't think it would last this long with the big lab, will order new one when they do finally destroy it for good

My miniature dachshund is obsessed with this toy. Eventually it does get chewed open but it lasts a long time (months, up to a year). I have purchased this toy many times because it’s the only toy she ever wants!

Bought this for a Chihuahua. He came from a bad situation that gave him screaming dreams of terror in the middle of the night, waking up, screaming. I would find him frozen in absolute terror. Poor dude. Now, he seems full of rage, and I get it because I know half of his story. And we love him anyway. He has 2 big brothers that will help show him the way, living his best life ever! Long story short; I first started buying this Petstages toy many years ago for my blind MinPin. Seeing it still, out here for sale always puts a smile on my face. Back then, they were a better quality. Now-a-days, the material around the squeaky is on the loose side, making it easier to destroy when my big dogs get it. Still, it brings back wonderful memories, is soft for a small dog that doesn’t destroy his things, it squeaks and they are usually loud (which is a must have, if you ask me), and it is cute to boot!

It is Rosie's fa ourite toy. Had one for years. Fiinally died. Nrw obe now. She goes to bed wiyh iy

my dog had the same toy as this for 7years i re odered this one as the old one got put in the washing machine which really upset my dog because it did not squeak any more and she kept winning at it for days so i had to hide the old one. 7years is a long time for a dog toy to last so really happy my dogs love this brand of toy they are well made.really happy thankyou

It took one hour for my lab to tear into pieces it can only be kept in show chase or can be played by puppies waste of money

My dog just loves this. A great treat for her.

以前、愛犬と宿泊した施設で同じものを購入して大変気に入って遊んでいたので、同じ商品をと散々探し続けて ようやく見つけました。気に入るおもちゃがあまりない仔ですので助かりました。
