ZippyPawsHappy Hour Crusherz - Zippy Paws Dog Toy for Large and Small Dogs, Crinkle Dog Toy with No Stuffing, Squeaky Dog Toy Pack of 1, Whiskey

Thinking of buying for your dog or as a gift for someone else? definitely do it. It's an absolutely brilliant toy concept and design. It's well made and the fact that it comes with a bottle inside was a surprise as I didn't read that part of the description (I got the medium, I believe). The bottle comes with a special top that squeeks along with the crumpling sound of plastic when squeezed. Mind you, the small doesn't allow for the bottle, and this size works for any small to medium dogs and pups, the large must be for the giant doggos?We've all been there, you spend hundreds on toys, only to find your pet more interested in a plastic bottle, a box, or some other literal piece of trash. The problem with handing over a bottle you've used (besides it not being the best on their teeth or for your ears) is that you have to always ensure that no leftover fluids remain (often not pet friendly diet sodas and other bad for even us humans, energy drinks and the like), and then there's the label wrapping that never wants to come off that they always get in their mouths and never want to drop, and finally the ultimate challenge.... of removing the plastic ring that seals the top, which poses the greatest safety threat of them all. This toy takes out all of the imminent dangers (and ugliness), leaving behind all the fun bottly bits and then some, besides being a funny toy whiskey bottle concept.I have a shiba puppy who is relentless, fearless, bold and has never met nor cares to meet anyone named patience. Rather than me having to desperately rip off a bottle label and try to get the seal ring off without cutting myself, while being yelled at by a tiny, four legged dictator called Empress Matilda, as she's completely losing her mind, I have this toy now! (Sure do it another room, you say, if she knows I'm out of sight and have something she wants, she will do the first most terrible thing she can to furniture or find something dangerous I didn't know was in her play room area- and hold it hostage, negotiations are exhausting).I've had it for about five minutes, so I can't speak to the other facets like a true test of durability, but with decades of dog toy experience and a formerly toy obsessed senior Shiba, I know how long lasting a toy can be with a lack of stuffing and the quality stitching of the design patches is evident (though a lot of dogs favor the shell of a toy once stuffed they won't let go of, this toy sort of skips that destructive step). I am confident it will hold up far longer than her puppy interest in all things seemingly destructive, like biting and tossing trash bottles because she knows they aren't hers, fingers crossed on this being a phase 🤞Now I'm on a mission to ensure I have backups for that simple, albeit, genius squeeky mechanism top that I can place on any bottle of similar, standard (think case of water bottles, but more durable) size.I will say, this is for light to average/moderate chewers (fine for shakers and tossers) in that a dog who destroys anything and everything, will do the same here. The squeeky mechanism top is in tact inside of the toy, and of course is dangerous for those dogs capable and willing to go for it (without thumbs, they must have a lot of determination and time in order to succeed at such a mission). Definitely supervise if there's any question of this possibly happening.While stuffing will eventually come out of any toy my girl meets when the seams come undone from average play, she's less inclined to open up the velcro and purposefully destroy what's inside... more of a "well this hole happened so I will stick my nose inside and play a fun game of keep away while I empty the endless supply of poly stuffing inside." Actually will likely use it for other mind active games like encouraging her to open it to get her treat or her ball, so I'll be purchasing a backup ASAP for this reason. I use the barkbox two in ones for similar purposes.Anyways, 10/10 would recommend.

Great toy! My dog is a little dog so he can destroy it too fast, but it’s nice to replace the bottle when he does manage to get it out! I just replace it with another water bottle!

I have two goldendoodles, and both of them are very strong chewers. Anything with stuffing is destroyed within minutes. This toy is a favorite of both my dogs, and they love the crunchy sound of the plastic bottle inside when they chew on it. It has held up beautifully, even when they play tug of war with it. I think I will have to order another one, so they don’t fight over it!

It’s a really cute toy but the Velcro isn’t nearly as strong as I’ve had with other dogs, and dog had the water bottle out of it within minutes. Big bummer.

This looked nice and I like that it had no stuffing. You put an empty water bottle in it. My puppy, a Golden Retriever (4 months old) chewed it up at the flap that opens to put the water bottle inside. Might be good for small dogs.

My dog absolutely loves this toy! We got it for her as a puppy of eight weeks old and at a year and a half now she insists on playing with it every single day still! It washes so nice and the Velcro is very strong and durable. You can change the plastic bottle anytime you’d like… Just be sure to reuse the original cap from the original bottle as the squeaker is inside the Original bottles cap!

Four month old puppy loves this toy! Her sister loves it as well! Plus it's super cute. There are a few downsides to it that makes me think I would maybe not purchase this again. Major issue is the quality of the velcro holding the flap closed. Puppy was able to rip it open in no time and was able to get to the bottle easily. Now that she's been able to get to it and chew on it, it barely takes much to open the flap. I would suggest for future improvements to put better quality velcro. So speaking of said bottle, the one that comes with the toy is super nice and durable. I made the mistake of taking it out too soon thinking I'd just replace it so she could keep squeaking. Well I wish I hadn't, water bottles now days are super thin and easily crushable. It's hard to get it into the toy and you end up crushing half of it in the process. Unfortunately with how easy it is to open the flap, she was able to pull the bottle out and chew on the squeaker end which destroyed it. That's on us for not watching her better but I'd like to think if the velcro was better it would have taken longer to get to this point. Then there is the issue with using plastic bottles which is horrible for our environment. I did go into buying this knowing that, we just collect used bottles from our family to use since they aren't as concerned, so at least they're getting a second use rather than going straight to trash or recycle. Overall, super cute concept but probably wouldn't purchase again or at least not as often as other toys.

Gave this toy a chance because of the look. Our pup chewed through it in minutes

I liked the product overall. The fabric was soft and I liked that fact that I could replace the bottle inside with a regular water bottle. This just did not stand up to my dog, a 70lb Border Collie/Australian Shepperd mix. She tore that bottle cover apart in less than a day. It was in tatters and pieces and had to be thrown out. NOT for aggressive chewers. A little pricey for something that lasted less than 24 hours.

This toy is very cute and my puppy loves it. I gave it 4 stars because the squeaker cap it came with broke pretty quickly, but that doesn’t seem to hamper my dogs enjoyment at all. Would buy again.

He loves the crinkle of the bottle inside and runs all over with it! He is a big chewer and has started to pull apart but for being his favourite it held up pretty well

My pup loves these plastic bottle toys. It does lose its squeak after my pup makes holes with his teeth in the plastic of the bottle. It can be changed out with a new empty water bottle and reapplying the squeaker lid. My pup has 3 different ones and loves them all. I would definitely recommend!

My dog loves this!!! And it’s so good for a laugh. She’s just over 10 lbs so she hasn’t destroyed it and it’s holding up quite well but may not be super durable for big dogs. But for small dogs this is great and I can’t get over how funny it is. Amazing!
