My dog loves the Sour Pooch dog toy—so much that it’s quickly become one of his favorites! What really surprised me is how durable it is. He’s usually quick to tear toys apart, but this one has held up incredibly well, making it one of the few survivors in his toy box. The toy is super cute, lightweight, and just an all-around fun addition to his collection. It’s been a joy watching him carry it around and play with it daily. I’d definitely purchase again and highly recommend it to other dog lovers looking for a toy that can handle a bit of rough love.

Squeaky and colorful

Size: Small, Style: Skit-Tails

Cute toy. Lots of squeaks. Probably best for a mid sized dog mouth— a chihuahua or Pomeranian might find it a little thick to manage.

“Candy” dog toy

Size: Small, Style: Mutts & Mongrels

Great toy! I like the toy because it’s durable & it has no appendages to for the dogs to chew off. It will be destroyed at some point but I won’t have to start picking up stuffing for a long time.
