Squeaker Matz Plush Gator Dog Toy, 16 Squeakers, XL, 27"

My dog loved this toy. Now, if you have an extreme chewer like I do, it won't last long. By day two, the head was completely ripped off and half of the squeakers were torn out, but I gave it five stars anyway. She wouldn't even go on her walk. Typically just saying the word "walk" will make her barrel out of the door at lightening speed. She hasn't dropped it since she first saw it. It deserves a rave review just for her sheer enjoyment and how hilarious it is to watch her flop it around and rip the squeakers out. So, to sum up: PROS - absolute enjoyment for the dog, and entertaining for the owner, large size, tons of squeakers, on the whole, pretty durable for a stuffed toy; CONS - Be prepared for quick destruction if you have an extreme chewer (although you should know that any stuffed toy is not going to live long if you have a dog like this.), small dogs might choke on some of the small squeaker parts, legs, etc. Other than that, cute and fun. I would definitely purchase again.

Fun loving hyper 7 month old female husky whose an aggressive chewer loves her "Gator". She loves the squeakers, does chew on any & all parts of her toy as she like many textures from soft/fuzzy to hard. 1st Gator we got her lasted a few months. She did chew threw a good amount, it did get dirty & most of the 16 squeakers were missing but I saved like 5 of them & sowed them back in. Once she started chewing thru the head & into the stuffing we ordered a replacement & she's so happy. I have 1 picture of the Gator though it might not look like it's done it was. Zero squeakers remaining, head has 1/2 stuffing removed, torn stitches but not enough where the body could come apart. She managed to eat the stuffing but she was not hurtful & we were able to stop her each time. I recommend "Gator" w/ supervision if you have an aggressive chewing pup. It's durable enough for some tugging & "fetch". It advertised "encourages digging" @ the squeaker but she didn't. She tugged, chomped' "fetch" & whipped the toy w her head but had a blast every time. She actively searches for Gator when she wants to play w/ her toys. 16 squeakers.

It's about as durable as you can expect a stuffed animal to be. I have two new puppies who are still teething and they love these things. I got the Kyjen sheep mat version (it's a square shape, rather than the two rows of squeakers) for the little girl. Both dogs sleep with it in their crate and we take them on trips with us. I've gone so far as to open up the toy and replace the broken squeakers (costs about 5$ for 30 large squeakers). The rest of the toy is fine. Our german shepherd puppy absolutely loves the rattle that's located in the head of the gator as well. The rattle also helps initially getting the dog engaged with chewing on the toy rather than your clothing or furniture. Then they discover the squeakers and it's endless entertainment and a good distraction for your dogs. I haven't had any problems with the thin, decorative material that's represent the teeth, claws and back fins. It's a slightly thicker felt that's soft and flimsy. Honestly, I'm not worried about it. Even if they were to eventually chew these off, they're not a choking hazard. Our little guy has thrown up solid pieces of kibble that are larger and harder than this. Seriously now, common. The eyes are sewn into the head, so there's no risk of pulling them off and swallowing. I toss these in the washer on a gentle cycle to clean off the slobber and dirt about once every couple weeks and the squeakers are fine, though they sometimes have to dry out to be 100% functional again. It never takes long. Overall, I love the amount of squeakers just due to the breaking problem with have with single squeaker toys. Once they break, the dog loses interest. Which is also a nice way to train the dogs the difference between the non-squeaking kids toys. The dogs absolutely love this toy and wont sleep without it. When the fabric eventually wears out (not even a slight issue after a few months), I'll be buying another one.

Smaller than I expected. Lots of squeakers. There is stuffing in the head. My big dog loved it, but it didn't last long for him. I imagine it would hold up better for a small dog. I've had several Outward Hound toys that have worked well for us in the past.

This is my dog’s favorite toy! She carries it around everywhere and loves the squeaker. It’s a great size and keeps her entertained for a while. Holds up pretty well too, especially for how much she plays with it.

This summer I bought the smaller version of this alligator squeaky toy for my large malamute-mix named Rascal. He's a big BIG puppy with an enormous amount of energy. Squeaky toys drive him crazy and he can't get enough of them. The more squeakers the more hyper he becomes. I started looking for the perfect Christmas present for him and caught sight of this little guy. Couldn't pass him up. 32 squeakers! Rascal would faint with excitement. This toy is a little longer than 4 feet long- which is about how long my dog is. It's by far the largest toy he's ever gotten. The head has a rattle in it. And the long body has 32 squeakers individually sewn into their own pocket- so even once he has chewed one of the noise-makers out, he still has many more to go. A few of the squeakers came defective, but I suppose that should be expected when so many noisy parts are involved. I don't think he noticed. The enormous amount of racket he made with the rest of them kept him busy enough. The second I gave him this toy he bounced around like any kid would on Christmas. Excited as heck. He spent a few good hours flinging the toy up in the air, running around the house and yard with it, and just laying around trying to chew each of those noisy things out from the body. He hasn't managed to get any of the squeaker toys out yet- it's been three days of constant play. He spends a few good hours on it each day. The fabric is getting kind of slobber-soaked, but that's presumable with dog toys. His dark black hair also easily sticks to this fabric, so it's beginning to look a lot dirtier than it actually is. But I'm sure he'll destroy it before my inner neat-freak feels the need to clean it. My biggest concern are the felt teeth and claws on the toy. They can easily be torn off and swallowed by the dog. If you want to eliminate that, prior to giving your dog the toy- just take a pair of scissors and cut them off. I just monitored my pup closely and took away the pieces once he removed them. Aside from the felt pieces and the fact the toy attracts hair- I think this was by far one of the best investments I've made for my dog. It's huge, keeps him entertained, and makes plenty of noise! I'm debating buying sound-blocking headphones before I purchase another toy like this again. Very noisy! But he loves it to death, and that makes it all worthwhile. Highly recommend!

This remained intact for about 15 minutes. Why the 5 stars? Because our part honey badger part velociraptor loved it. She quickly anhiliates anything that has a squeaker & proceeds to play with what remains for months. Is this the strongest made toy out there? No. Is it maybe a little over priced? Possibly. If you have a dog that’s hard on toys then you already know there is no such thing as indestructible. I happily forked over the $16 for the biggest one & her utter joy at finding so many squeakers was worth every penny. For now, it’s mostly intact & she sleeps with it instead of her beloved, mostly mutilated, squirrel. For a light chewer or a small dog that isn’t a search and destroy fur missile, this would probably last much longer. For our Dutchie, this wouldn’t be a regular purchase but it is great for an occasional special treat. I’m not even annoyed by the little fibers it leaves as she chews on it. My inability to tolerate messes will not allow me to leave them on the floor so since buying this thing, my house has been ultra clean. Perspective, it’s all about perspective. The dog is happy, the house is clean & the kid’s stuffed animals are once again, temporarily, off the hit list.

I wasn’t expecting to get such an incredibly amazing dog toy that was so brilliantly thought out and designed! With the super long size of this alligator and all of it’s squeakers, we had the ability to turn this one dog toy into multiple fun toys, by just tying it up into a ball, or wrapping it around my puppy when she was playing with it, or stretching it out for a good tugging match!! It was her absolute favorite toy, and ours as well! But unfortunately, the makers of this toy chose a TERRIBLE FABRIC!!! I had read reviews that said that people found the fabric started coming out in little pieces all over… but I thought, that won’t happen to us because I don’t let my puppy chew on her fabric toys. We use them only for interactive playtime when we are together. But the small little pieces of fabric started coming off the alligator almost immediately. It wasn’t bad at first, but it has become downright terrible, and the little pieces of fabric are sticking to her tongue and are falling out more and more quickly all over her play blanket. I will sadly be returning it. It’s too bad they didn’t use a better fabric. Otherwise I would have wanted to buy other dog toys from them.

This toy keeps my dog happy and occupied. The multiple squeakers keeps him going. Expect a mess though but it take him a few months to get through it. Plus he lives to play tag with it. Great toy worth the mess!

blev en favorit på engång och tillräckligt lång så hundarna kan kampa om den

Bought for my Jack Russell who decided he wanted the bigger one, bought for the American Bulldog. Luckily, they have swapped and all is calm amongst the 4 legged family. This one doesn't seem as robust as the other, larger one, but, so far is still intact after 5 days and counting. One of the 6 small squeakers has given up the ghost, but it is being well chewed! The squeakers are a lot quieter than the bigger toy,thankfully, as I doubt I could take the noise otherwise. The original large one of this make, is still going strong after more than a year, just 2 silent squeakers! This smaller one will surprise me if it lasts that long tho'......time will tell.

This was a xmas present for two busy boston terriers and it survives! Some of the squeakers are a bit worse for wear and the face is a bit chewed up, but no holes. Its been surprisingly durable considering the tug of war sessions and chewing its endured.

It survived a corgi puppy. He enjoyed flipping it and attacking the paws.
