After seeing the Petsmart commercial which featured a Doxie and his Loofa Dog "Bobo." I decided to take my 4 month old GSD Sasha to Petsmart and see if she'd be interested in one. She's pretty picky about toys, but so far we've discovered her favorites are plush and MUST squeak.

Loofa dogs have two squeakers. One regular type in the nose and a long skinny squeaker in the body that makes an odd quacking sound. f

After about a month the tummy squeaker has been crushed by her constant chewing, but "Bobo" still has both ears, all four feet and all his stuffing. Sasha's last plush squeaker didn't last half that long before I had to perform squeaker replacement surgery since she had ripped a hole in it's back and removed it along with some of the stuffing.

Bobo is doing great.. And I'm now looking for a longer one to get her.

I bought this toy (having never seen it before) the day we were going to pick up our new puppy (siberian husky..she started out pretty big!)...from the second she laid her eyes on it it's been almost like a love affair...worse than the commercial...she is now 6 months old and it is just now showing wear and tear and had to be replaced (and if you ask me...considering the abuse that a puppy puts a toy through...4.5 months is a long time for a toy to last!) These are getting harder and harder to find as PetSmart is usually out...get em while you can guys..dogs LOVE them.

I personally am not happy at all with this item, very small not the same as pictured ( the one I got is bright yellow, really flimsy ) don't think it'll last very long. I'll keep it, not worth sending back, my Corgi seems to like it ~ but its a bit small even for her, I think it's life will be short. (not well made)

My dog has three of these Loofa "puppies" the original "natural" color, sort of a hot pink colored one and a large lavender Loofa Dog. My dog is Lab/Poodle/Router/table saw/grinding wheel and you name it. The first Loofa puppy had it's belly squeaker removed and I gave it a tummy tuck. Then the ears and tails came off. These Loofa Puppies are Still her old favorites. The Easter Bunny brought her the lavender Loofa dog and it still has all its original body parts. I think it's too big for my dog to be comfy doing the toy parade with. The other two Loofanstein puppies seem to be her favorites to curl up and gnaw on. They have held up much better than I anticipated, wash well although I suggest not to hang them to dry, Abby thought there was a mass hanging in the shower and was sulking at the sight of her loofa friends dangling in the shower. They do well on air dry or low in the dryer.

THIS TOY DIDN'T EVEN LAST 3 MINUTES. HE HAD THE STUFFING OUT IN 10 SECONDS FLAT!

The price entices you and then you lose any savings on the outrageous shipping charges.

I got this from the store in red. My 3 year old golden retriever absolutely loved this toy. She constantly carried it around and slept with it until it started looking ratty -about a week or so. (this includes the times when we thought she was getting to rough, and hid the toy on top of the fridge, which she promptly found and would try to retrieve) A week doesn't sound like much, but we have bought these types of stuffed toys before, and they didn't last 15 minutes in her jaws before she had the squeeker out.

After 2.5 weeks she had ripped this toy up, I threw away they stuffing and let her have the rest- which lasted a week more before the pieces were too small to play with. Other reviewers thought this was small, but I thought it was the perfect size and length for my dog's enjoyment.

We payed $3.99 for it, which was a good price, but given the rate the our golden goes through them the cumulative price of keeping this toy in stock at our house is too much. We are going to keep on looking for a toy that my dog loves but can't destroy.

This turned out to be my dog's favorite Christmas present. She plays with it every day and she looks so cute holding it in her mouth. I'll be buying more of these as gifts for my friends dogs :)

My corgi had this ripped to shreds in a couple hours. He had fun while he was destroying it, but was generally a waste of money. If you have a strong chewer, this is not a good toy.

My miniature Poodle loves her Bobo dog, however they don't last very long, and do a good job of absorbing saliva, so they become very stinky after just a couple of days of play. Better suited for use as a bath accessory than a chew toy I think.
