Super durable and dog-approved!
Style: 5 pcs Crinkle Plush Dog Toy
WOW! My dog is in love with these toys! I have an 18-pound Chihuahua mix (he's got some Miniature Schnauzer in him, which makes him a bit bigger), and he lives for squeaky toys like Lamb Chop—but poor Lamb Chop never lasts long. I was searching specifically for no-stuffing dog toys, and this set caught my eye. I'm so glad I got it! My dog was so excited when I opened the package—his absolute favorite is the cow. I honestly thought he'd get bored quickly since he's more into squeaky toys, but to my surprise, he loves the crinkly parts even more! He goes wild shaking them around. He’s a moderate chewer who also likes to snuggle with his toys, and these are holding up really well. Whether you’ve got a small puppy or a wild Lab, just buy this pack—you won’t regret it. The quality is amazing, and we both love the variety of animal shapes. Hope this helps—your pup will thank you!

They are large!
Style: 5 pcs Crinkle Plush Dog Toy
they are very large, but luckily my 3 lb shitzu puppy loves to try and carry these around by herself. it’s adorable. i really think she likes the crinkle sound the best. good variety of animals and sizes with wings and such! actually like the unique animals instead of the regular squirrels and cows.
