Tuffy's Ocean Creatures Purple Pete Squeaky Plush Dog Toy

My bad for not looking at the dimensions before purchasing, but this toy is a bit bigger than I expected it to be! That being said, my 55 lb pup loves whipping it around and hasn’t managed to destroy it at all yet, despite her efforts. If you’re looking for something big, purple and tough to destroy, this is it!

My dog is a surgical, destructive chewer. She likes to rip seams and get to the innards of the toy with surgical precision... but she LOVES soft chew toys, so I've been trying to find the right one and thought I had with Purple Pete. It was too big/heavy for her to shake, and strong fabric. However, right away I had to take the top loop off the toy because within an hour she had disconnected it. All was good and she enjoyed the toy until after a few play sessions, she found a way to rip the top seams and get inside it's head to the stuffing, which I luckily saved her from fully consuming. All in, the toy lasted 2 weeks. For nearly $30, I hoped for more.

I was skeptical about spending so much money on this. However, it has helped up very well! It is a little on the harder side which one of my German shepherds doesn’t like. The legs are a bit softer and have squeakers in them and the softest part is what one of my GS loves however this is his favorite toy to play tug A ware with the other other German Shepard. It’s large which is a plus!

Bought this for Christmas for my pit mix and Samoyed. They had it destroyed within two weeks. I wouldn’t suggest this for your furry friend if they love tug-o-war

I bought this for my Old English Sheepdog who is 9 months old for Christmas. I had to trash it today, it didn’t last 2 weeks! Definitely not worth the money.

My 100 lb dog loves to pull stuffing out of toys, but after five months he's only managed a couple of small holes in this one.

I have two German Shepherds over 80lbs. and this is their favorite toy. They tend to destroy their toys very quickly. We have the rubber Kong's of course, but they just don't like to play with those. They want soft toys. This toy will take them a couple of months to destroy, which is the longest lasting soft toy we have found. So whenever they destroy it, we order them a new one!

I have a three month old blue heeler puppy and he destroys every toy I give him if it’s not a hard rubber. He really likes the octopus but it’s doesn’t squeak. Also he chews and pulls at the seams making strings hang off but there isn’t a hole. I’ve just been cutting them off and watching him play with it

Dundee, my 14 month-old Aussie, destroyed this in 2 hours. He chewed out the eyes and ripped a gaping hole in the head then proceeded to unstuff this toy. I was more than disappointed. As a general rule the only toys that hold up to this power chewer are Kong and Tuffy. In the case of Purple Pete, Tuffy really let me down. Purple Pete was a terrible investment. Don't waste your money.

We have a 55 lb. pitt mix that rips all stuffed toys to shreds over time. Fire hose toys have lasted the longest. I was hopeful with this toy because the stitching looked solid and because of the price. It turns out the material is not very durable. Our dog ripped into the head of the octopus within 20 minutes of playing with it. The arms are still in tact and the stitching there is pretty good. If your dog is a super tough chewer who goes through normal plush toys easily, this might be last for them.
