best toys ever!
I seriously can’t recommend these dog toys enough! My puppy is usually super picky and gets bored easily, but she was OBSESSED with these right away. The moment I gave them to her, she wouldn’t put them down—running around, chewing, tossing them in the air, everything. It kept her entertained for hours, which is a lifesaver. They’re also really durable (which surprised me because she can be a little destroyer 😅), and they seem safe and well-made. I love that they help with her teething too—she goes for these instead of my shoes now, which is a huge win. If you have a puppy with lots of energy or who needs something to stay busy, these are 100% worth it. I’ll definitely be buying more!

A must to keep on hand for your furry friend.
My dog absolutely loves these Pink Puppy collection of toys, they keep her safely busy for hours. They seem chew resistant and durable. She loves the pink ball and the sound of the material inside the Elephant. Great buy, I give her two every holiday.

These are SO CUTE! They are VERY SMALL and for PUPPIES, not for full grown doggies. My puppy is teething and she loves them. Great price and good quality!!

Excellent Value
I love these toys! I bought them for a litter of German Shepherd puppies for their first toys. They instantly swarmed the elephant and cuddled with it. It is their favorite toy to this day. I bought another set so they had another one. They play with everything except the ropes, since they unraveled them early on I threw them out. They have cuddled with them and played with them for almost 3 months. I wash the teething toys in the sink with dial soap, and the plush toys on regular cycle in the machine, multiple times per day since I bought them. They look brand new each time. Only the little hearts and stars split open, but that was my adult dogs' fault. I didn't realize she was reaching into their playpen and taking their toys. Our Rottweiler and bulldog just love the teething toys, which cracks me up. Basically, all the dogs like this kit, but they are pretty good about not destroying toys, at least not right away. They figured out I take them away when they do, so they do their best. I doubt they will hold up to any dog deliberately trying to tear them up (like any toy), so supervision is recommended.
