Product Description
What sets Dr. Noys' Material Dog Toys apart from the plush toy pack? It's the quality and the ease at which the squeaker can be replaced and / or removed. Compare Material Dog Toys with the others and you can see the difference. As a bonus, all of our dog toys come with a FREE replaceable squeaker.
Amazon.com Review
This huggable and chewable plush bear is specially-designed for the canine who rips toys apart in order to extract the squeaker. A tucked-away hook-and-loop opening provides easy (human) access to the holding pouch, so the squeaker is easy to replace--even after the most violent search-and-destroy mission. If the noise gets on your nerves, take it out for some quiet play, or replace with a tennis ball for bouncy, chewy fun. Unlike most soft toys, this bear is made from all fur, with no cheap stuffing to shred all over the house. The bear measures eight inches tall and comes with an extra squeaker. It's even machine-washable for those times when the slobber grows too much to bear. --Mary Park

6 months of tug-o-war... gotta love that there's no stuffing! April 17, 2008

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.
Dr. Noys' dog toys will last a long time--great investment! March 9, 2008

Glad to see that so many others have found these to be great toys. These toys are among the best plush dog toys out there, and we've tried several. I don't think any are truly "indestructible" since there's 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; don't 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; that's why they include an extra. But the advantage here is that they are very secure, and can't 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! ;-)
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 you're tired of buying so-called "dog toys" that are really glorified baby toys and are easily destroyed, try these. Ours have lasted for two years with hard play, only replacing the squeakers. Even better, they're usually included in the Amazon 4-for-3 promotion, so you can get one free if you buy four! That way you can test out different designs, or save one for later. Highly recommended!
This is my puppy's FAVORITE toy!! October 6, 2007

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!
Best Doggy Stuffed-Animal Out There August 8, 2007

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!
Practically Indestructable... February 1, 2006

My Jack Russell Terrier puppy loves this toy. He has tried his best to "kill" it, to no avail. Dr. Noy's toys are almost indestructable. I like the fact that there are no pieces to break lose or come off this toy which could be dangerous to a puppy who likes to put everything into his mouth.
This is one great toy, at a reasonable cost, which has provided my puppy with hours of amusement and exercise. I highly recommend this toy.
