Loofa

Although there are nearly a dozen Loofa Dogs in our doggy toy box, a clear favorite for our puppy is the 12-inch pink version. When appropriate our lab puppy will collapse into dream land with this between her paws, but she’ll also use it to wear herself out with a serious game of fetch. It’s the perfect size for tossing short distances, which is all the farther I want her running without a leash attached.

We just picked up a second 12-inch Loofa Dog as the first one is beginning to look worn, it has a few break-through seams, and it’s totally coated with oak flowers. The plush surface acts like Velcro and plant debris clings to the surface. She chases this with the energy of a true retriever puppy and now, when she returns one, the second is tossed. Being a smart puppy she has also begun carrying both at the same time.

The multiple squeakers excite her beyond belief and so far she hasn't dug them out. A higher pitched squeaker in the head, along with the lower pitched squeaker (more like a honk) in the tail end are easy for her to squeeze. They also thrill our easily excitable puppy. You really just can’t go wrong with a Loofa Dog for training and for encouraging independent play. This is another one of those “why-didn’t-I-think-of-this-first” instances. What a perfect puppy toy.

Pros: Fetch toy, cuddly, multiple sounds, excitement factor

Cons: Plant debris clings like Velcro

We just purchased this product and the very next day our pup pulled all the cotton out of it , it was such a cute fun squeaky toy but not durable enough for our pup

Pros: Fun toy !

Cons: Easy to chew apart
