 Best Doggy Stuffed-Animal Out There Aug 08, 2007
By Katie
"book worm"
My husband & I have 3 wonderful pups/dogs that LOVE to play with stuffed animals. The problem is that they usually destroy them quickly, as they really enjoy playing with their stuffed toys together - with one pulling a leg & another pulling a arm, and they are also known to chew on them until they get to the insides - where they then work on spreading the filling all over our house.
Because of this we decided not to get them anymore plush toys. But then I read the description for Dr. Noys Teddy Bear & decided to give it a try. My "babies" have been playing with it for almost a month now and it's still in pretty good condition - it's nearly indestructable! (This is a record for us, as most stuffed animals are completely destroyed in an hour or less!)
The stitching is done extrememly well - with the only part getting chewed open being the nose. But one of the best things is that there's only a tiny bit of stuffing in there - so even when they got the nose off, there was just one little blob of filling to pick up - and they can still play with it!
Another plus is how easy it is to replace the squeaker. We haven't had to do it yet, but I checked it out - and it really is amazingly easy! And it comes with an extra squaker too!
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Noys Plush Teddy Bear to all pet owners - it's well made, nearly indestructable and our dogs LOVE it!

material dog toys are great Dec 27, 2005
By Heidi A. Lyn
"ladiesdoc"
we have a bullmastiff, and these are the only toys I buy. Anything else is usually shredded with stuffing all over the house within about two hours. They are incredibly durable, and easily thrown in the washer.

This is my puppy's FAVORITE toy!! Oct 06, 2007
By J. Buteau
"Tater's Dad"
My puppy has had this bear for two years - and it is his constant companion. He has torn up every other stuffed animal he has... but not this one - and he plays with it constantly - he sleeps with it, plays with it, etc. Just now, after two years, he actually made a hole in it and started pulling out the stuffing - so I went and ordered two more 'cause he can NOT live without this bear. My wife repaired the hole but I don't think the repair will work too long and I don't want him to be in mourning... We need a new one "on hand" for when the current one meets its demise!

Dr. Noys toys are perfect! Aug 19, 2008
By Kathryn Vincent
My miniature pinscher Bella has this little bear and a little duck. Both of them she's had since she was a baby, 9 months ago and both of them are still in great condition. They last a long time! She has torn up many toys in the past but these have held up with no problem at all! They are definitely two of her favorite toys! They are very small though, don't buy them if you have a larger dog at all, I think they are just best for toy breed dogs, Bella is 6 pounds.

6 months of tug-o-war... gotta love that there's no stuffing! Apr 17, 2008
By Mrs. Kilo Delta
I've had the Dr. Noys teddy bear in the medium size for almost 6 months, purchased for my 30 lb sheltie girl. Our dog is not a "sit down and try to rip apart" kind of dog, but she does love to play tug-o-war! I usually grip the head while she grabs onto either the squeaking body or one of the limbs, and she hops and pulls and shakes and play-growls until she gets too thirsty to continue. Hubby and I also play keep-away with the bear, tossing it back and forth so she'll run between us for some exercise (she's not much of a retriever). Sometimes she'll pick up the bear and bring it over to me to let me know it's time to play, but otherwise she really doesn't play with the bear on her own. Not the fault of the bear, it's just the way my sheltie is, and I hope it gives you a better idea of how this bear might hold up with your dog.
This bear came with a free replacement squeaker, which I placed inside the fleece bag that contains the other squeaker, for extra squeaking fun. Probably because of the extra protection the fleece gives, both squeakers have survived my little girl's needle sharp teeth. The fleece thing inside the bear also gives it bulk, without that messy stuffing that dogs so love to pull out. I could hear and feel stitches pop on occasion while playing tug-o-war, but this toy really has held up well compared to other plush dog toys. For 5 months, this bear looked perfect, other than the slobber on it. Our bear has about three sizeable holes and is missing a bit of fur on its chest, which all happened in the last month, but we still use it because there's no stuffing in the bear. I'm currently looking for another Dr. Noys toy as a replacement, when that teddy bear goes to tug-o-war heaven.
In addition to being very sturdy, this bear is super cute. I have a photo of the Dr. Noys teddy bear in the arms of my sheltie who was laying down, and it's a photo I'll cherish forever.
**UPDATE** We've purchased our 2nd Dr. Noys teddy bear in medium size. I tried buying regular stuffed animals, the kind intended for kids, at second hand stores but they all got pulled apart. We now have 2 shelties and they've been plucking at this Kong teddy bear's nose for a week (they really like that fleecy material) and this bear is holding up like a champ.
