   Well made, minor issue was quickly resolved
   I purchased the Dino Bruto Dog toy for my labradoodle who is quite fond of squeaky, squawky stuffed toys and oddly enough has shown a preference for purple. I opened the package with my hound standing by waiting for his gift. I detached the tags and attempted to squeak the toy. It seemed difficult to squeak or honk. I tossed the purple Dino Bruto to my dog who excitedly chomped to squeak. The toy squawked a couple times and then just quit. My poor hound was staring up at me with that “what’s up with this” look on his face. I tracked down the website for the GoDog toys, not going through the Amazon return process. I called the good people at GoDog and stated simply that my dog’s favorite part of the toy failed quite quickly and I was wondering about guarantees. I was told to go to the website and file a replacement request. The replacement request required that I include a photo which I did as directed. I received an reply email within a couple hours which stated that a new toy would be sent out shortly.I am happy to report that we received a replacement toy, not the purple Dino, but a colorful wood duck. The squawker device works well and is still performing like new more than a month later.It appears that the squeaker is not those little plastic squeakers but the bigger heavy plastic bag, bladder, with what I visualize as a duck call sort of sound device. I am guessing because I haven’t seen the inside of the GoDog toys. I have seen the guts of other stuffed toys which use this type of noise device. While our dog seems to enjoy the sound of the plastic bag, bladder set-up squawkers, they seem to fail quickly and I tend to avoid them because of this. The toys using this type of squawker that I have seen, use what looks like a cheap lightweight plastic bag which is not securely attached to the “voice box”.Since the GoDog replacement toy is holding up so well, I am guessing GoDog uses a heavier grade plastic bladder coupled with reinforced construction. The purple Dino Bruto toy still looks new even after multiple times of our hound grabbing the purple toy, shaking it at us with his invite to give chase or play keep away. Since the squawker failed so quickly with the new toy, I figure it was just a defective item which does not reflect the general quality of toys from GoDog.One evening our neighbor was visiting while his pitbull was playing in our yard with our dog. Our patio door was open so our dog ran into the house and grabbed his purple Dino Bruto toy. He is a bit of a show-off with new toys. Our dog then went racing back into the yard, shaking his GoDog toy at the pitbull. A quick game of tug-of-war ensued. Since this is a new toy, our neighbor leaped into the game and took the toy away from the dogs. In that short time of tugging between the dogs, the toy held together and did not even pull apart at any of the seams. There were no puncture marks either.This is a game our dog has initiated before with the neighbor pitbull. Normally, the stuffed toys are ripped apart almost immediately. I was surprised and impressed with the quality of the sewing which appears to employ some sort of reinforced construction or heavier material.I plan to make more purchases from GoDog toys. The toys are a little more expensive than some stuffed dogs toys but they hold up so well I figure they are worth a few more dollars. They are great toys that hold up well and the company provides quick responses to inquiries. I consider this a winning combination.

   Best toy for the dog who destroys everything
   Usually a toy lasts two days before it needs to be thrown out. This guy is going strong after several weeks and I think he may be a keeper. I’d totally buy another just as a back up after this one finally needs to go. Worth it!

   2 year old bully approved !
   My XL American bully turns 2 Saturday and I got him this as an early birthday gift. He loves it. He immediately ripped the white tags off but other than that it seems sturdy. He loves stuffed animals now I don’t think this will last forever but seems sturdy enough to last at least a little white. It made his day. It’s day 2 and he’s only ripped the tip of the horn off. He loves it

   NOT the large size!
   I hate to give a bad review because my golden retriever absolutely loved his large red triceratops we previously purchased from a big box store. We bought it on a whim thinking it would last 2 days at best, but it lasted a couple months, which is unimaginable with our dog (it was his baby) as no other stuffed toy EVER lasted that long!Anyway, I saw the same toy offered on Amazon (since the big box store no longer sells it). I purchased the “Large,” but what I received was a small toy. The measurements of the toy I received were less than what is listed in the specs. I figured it was a mistake and “exchanged” it. Once again, I received a toy that is smaller than the specifications of the large and the model # is also different.During the writing of this review, my dog spotted the toy and went crazy and had to have it. We shall see how the “small” holds up.My poor rating goes to Amazon (or the vendor) who keeps sending the incorrect size. As for the real large triceratops toy, it gets a 10+ from our dog and his humans.

   Cute but destroyed
   My Aussie chewed the horn off of this adorable Dino within 30 minutes. He loves stuffies but I am yet to find one that will last more than a day!! I will say the Dino is super cute and seems well made – just not well made enough for my super chewer. Back to the drawing board.***Edit ***We have had the Dino now for a few weeks. The small amount of stuffing has come out but it has become my dogs favorite toy! The outer material has stayed intact so far besides the horns in the picture.

   Great toy, very durable
   Feared that the squeaker would not stand up to the washing machine……no problem. We simply put the toy in the machine in a bag, it came out clean and the squeaker was fine. Both poodle bros Finnigan and Bodie love it.

   Cute and sturdy for the average dog
   My nephew dog loved tearing it to shreds. It took him a while but he managed. This would survive a normal dog who doesn’t consider every toy a challenge, nicely even if he or she is a rough chewer.

   This was my dog’s favorite toy, but I am disappointed in the toy’s short life span.
   Such a great toy for my 10-month-old Lab puppy; he carried it around everywhere. However, he is an aggressive chewer, and I knew he would eventually tear it up. I understand that they guarantee it for a month. I wish they guaranteed it for 2 months, because that’s how long this one lasted. He had been chewing little holes in it, but nothing that would keep him from being able to continue playing with it – until I came home after being gone a couple hours today, and found stuffing all over the floor. For some reason, I thought that it was made without “stuffing, and was hoping with their “chew guard technology” that it would last a little longer than that. I guess we got our $11.95 out of it, but he will miss it, and then there’s the mess of stuffing to clean up. If your dog is not an aggressive chewer, it is worth the money.

    GoDog brand always makes great toys for my border collie she’s the type to like fetch and search and she’ll shake her toys around with playing. I’ve bought quite of few of these toys from when she was a pup until now her oldest being 6years and is still in good condition

    Brinquedo de marca excelente, contudo, se vc tem um buldog francês como companheiro… mas é bem mais resistente do que as outras marcas

    Have been buying these for the last 2 years for my 95lb German Shep, it takes alot for her to even puncture them, and the fun she gets is very good. Some have lasted well over a year, great value for money

    Unser kleiner kroatischer “Kampfdackel” hat bislang jedes Kuscheltier innerhalb von Minuten bzw wenigen Tagen “vernichtet” (und das waren viele von verschiedenen Herstellern)… Bei diesem Kuscheltier tut er sich “schwer” und es reicht, dieses jedes Jahr zu Weihnachten auszutauschen, weil es dann dann langsam anfängt zu ramponiert zu sein… Aber damit können wir leben 🙂
