Tuffy's Ocean Creatures Purple Pete Squeaky Plush Dog Toy

I love the toys from Tuffy company. They are usually indestructible, and my 1.5 yr old Portuguese Water Dog (male/55 lbs) is a big chewer. ( I’ve had the large, red Tuffy lobster toy for over a year now. No punctures. Looks brand new.) This (VERY) large, heavy, whimsical, purple octopus toy was a HUGE hit. Great for tug of war. And it throws across the lawn like a boomerang. AND—This and many Tuffy toys float! You could tell my dog felt very important carrying this heavy octopus toy around. He loved it so much he would drag it to his bed and fall asleep—his head on top of Purple Petes. I also like Tuffy toys because they do not have a lot of stuffing inside, nor too many squeakers!

Just the right amount. Giving this Tuffy toy only a 4-star rating this time, because after only 1 week, the top part/material on the head came apart. I think it was because there was a pickable, tiny black loop at the very top that fell off and then loosened the material on the top of the head. I was so disappointed that this happened, as this toy was one of the more expensive ones from Tuffy. Chewy, can I return for a replacement? I hope you will make right by me because I am such a big buyer of your products and the Tuffy toys you sell. I bought 3 other Tuffy toys within this last month as well—which were 2 of the long, orange and white eels, (also a huge hit), and the matching orange and white fish. The orange eel/orange fish toys were bought as a toy team theme/new puppy/welcome home gift for a cousin. Chewy can you send me a new one? Review-watchers/buyers, tune in next week to see what happens with a Chewy exchange/return. … more

We got this for our dogs bday. He loves Tuffy’s and even though he eventually destroys them all, they last long enough and he has a great time with them. Gary gator lasts the longest, Pete is now 2 weeks in. So far his head is de-stuffed but our dog loves carrying him around and should soon start going for the legs.

My 7 month old 40 pound puppy made quick work of Purple Pete. In less than an hour he gave Pete brain surgery. Despite Pete's squishy head, his arms seem stitched well and durable. I would not recommend this toy if you're looking for something "indestructible".

We have yet to find a toy that will make it longer than 24 hours in this house. This one was on the more expensive side of what I like to usually spend (because of the limited life span of toys here) but I thought by the reviews and the name this might be worth the money. She chewed through the arm in a matter of hours. The body held up but the legs were no match for our super chewer. I think for none obsessive chewers this would be great and she did love it while it lasted. Pic of the culprit Without the toy because we didn’t make it long enough to get a picture with the toy.

This product was a waste of money in less than an hour there was a huge hole in the top of the head. Very expensive for a product that is not built to last.

Our almost 1 year old Staffy mix loves her giant 5 legged octopus! It’s as big as her torso and has already lasted 10 days (9 days longer than most of her stuffed toys). It’s great for playing with her doggo friend as well.

My German shepherd was able to destroy this toy in less then a day! He had a blast doing it, but wish it would of lasted us more then a day.

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!
