A huge hit for the whole pack
Color: GREEN
​Finding a toy that appeals to multiple dogs with different play styles is tough, but this interactive green goose is an absolute home run. The combination of the crinkle wings and the squeaker keeps them entertained and busy way longer than a standard plush toy. ​Despite the daily thrashing, tugging, and chewing, the durability has been incredibly impressive. It’s the perfect size for larger breeds to grip, yet lightweight enough for smaller dogs to carry around by the neck.

Great toy that's a real hit so far!
Color: YELLOW
This squeaky goose has been a total hit and, more importantly, it actually passed the "German Shepherd test." It is always a gamble with plush toys and large breeds, but this one has stayed completely intact after several play sessions. Even with all the shaking and carrying around, the seams are holding up perfectly and the squeaker is still going strong. The combination of the squeak and the crinkle wings keeps things interesting, and the material feels much more durable than your average stuffed toy. If you have a powerful chewer who still loves a soft toy to carry around, this is a great, resilient option that won't fall apart immediately.

Great Bang for Your Buck
I didn’t know what to expect with these toys. How small are they, the quality, especially since they’re actually $1.33 each. I am so excited about these toys for my Havanese puppy! They’re a perfect size for him and they’re well sewn and cutely decorated. They’re stuffed and have a squeaker. He’s had one exactly like these for 2 months and he loves it and hasn’t torn it apart. When I saw the box delivered today I thought oh no these are so tiny. Until opened it and kept pulling perfect sized toys and a storage bag! These are just carefully and mindfully packed to fit in that box!

MY 6 LB PUP'S FAVORITES!
xcdOmg these are my 1 year old dog's favorite toys! He loves each one and they are just the right size for him to carry and squeak in his mouth. Currently the donut & pepper are his favorites. He even sleeps with them. Thank you for making good quality toys for our little guys and keeping them affordable.
