These toys are among the best plush dog toys out there, and weve tried several. I dont think any are truly "indestructible" since theres always a dog somewhere that will defy that claim, but these are well made and worth buying for the majority of dogs. Just be *sure* to buy the size that suits your dog; dont buy one too small that can be swallowed easily! Dr. Noys toys are great in that they always include an extra squeaker in the pack, and the toy squeaker is easily replaceable in its hidden velcro pouch. (Squeakers are not indestructible; thats why they include an extra. But the advantage here is that they are very secure, and cant be eaten.) You can even buy separate packages of squeakers if your dog is tough on plush toys. Or you can remove the squeaker if it drives you crazy! ;-) In the larger sizes you can replace the squeaker with a tennis ball for active dogs.
Pay attention to the sizes listed: extra-small is really small, best for only the tiniest toy breeds or for small puppies. Medium will work for most dogs, but if your dog is a shredder, loves to destroy plush toys, only get the large sizes. If you have certain breeds, like Staffordshire terriers and bull dogs, then perhaps another toy would be a wiser choice. You know your dog.
So if youre tired of buying so-called "dog toys" that are really glorified baby toys and easily destroyed, try these. Ours have lasted for two years with hard play, only replacing the squeakers. Even better, theyre usually included in the Amazon 4-for-3 promotion, so you can get one free if you buy four (smaller sizes-selected vendors)! That way you can test out different designs, or save one for later. Highly recommended!
**And pay attention to the vendor since some offer free Amazon Super Saver shipping and Amazon Prime--though not all do that. Type "amazon.com" at the end of the search words for more choices.**

My dog loves these things and with the replaceable squeaker it keeps coming back to life!

This thing was so cute, I didnt mind shelling out over five bucks for it. I couldnt find the small one, so got the medium sized one for my 20lb. dog. She loves it! I decided to purchase it since it came with an extra squeaker. Also, what was quite attractive, is the fact that Dr. Noys (by Kong) soft animal toys do not come with filling. My dog always ends up getting into the filling and I have to throw away her toys. Plus, each part of the animal is stitched separately, so if say, my dog ripped the arm, I could just pull it off. It didnt hurt that it came with an extra squeaker.
I will have to get back to you all on durability, but so far so good, and very cute!! Warning: does get slobbery!

I really like the concept of a stuffed toy with an easy to replace squeaker in it. My dog starts out with new stuffed toys, plays with them until the squeaker no longer works and then will destroy them so I found replacing the squeaker to be a way to keep her toys around a little bit longer. The toy itself isnt very tough but I found the squeakers they give you with the toy to be very durable.
