Review of JW Pet Company Ruffians Turtle Dog Toy, Small (Colors Vary)

Customer Ratings:

It's her favorite, and I keep ordering more of them in case they stop making them. They last forever, at least for whippets, and the best thing for our sanity is the turtle makes a much quieter honking sound. The kitty-shaped toy makes a piercing squeak that the dog loves, but which can get a little irritating for the humans involved.

When I got this in the mail, it was a very cute little toy and my dog loved to chew on it...for the whole 20 minutes that it lasted. The first thing she did was turn the little tail into a nub, and then she chewed through the neck and actually separated the head from the rest of the body. It was nice while it lasted, but I was expecting a bit more from a toy that is called "ruffians." The only toys my dog hasn't been able to kill, although this was very quick by her standards, are the West Paw ones.

It's smaller than I expected, but my boston terrier doesn't mind. He's discarded his favorite toys and now brings me this to play fetch. He can't get enough of it!

Delivery from Pawtastic Pet Supplies was quick and free. Can't beat that.

Update: six weeks later, the bouncy turtle is still going strong. This toy is holding up better than previous rubber toys and my dog still loves it. It's his favorite toy to chase and chew on.

Update: March 19, 2010. The turtle is still around and is still my dog's favorite toy. I can't believe my dog has not yet destroyed it!

Honest reviews on JW Pet Company Ruffians Turtle Dog Toy, Small (Colors Vary)

It's not clear from the description or the packaging image, but this is a small toy. A choking hazard for big*, or even mid-sized dogs. In fact this toy, as shipped, is identical in size/weight to the "1.6 oz" Cat Dog Toy by the same manufacturer, despite being listed as 3.2 oz.

This company does make wonderful, durable products, and provided you have the correct size, they make for excellent toys.

*like our Retrievers. Who get to play with it supervised they love them, but they really love the big dog versions.

our Great Dane, Kenya, actually stole this toy from her Rat Terrier cousin, Ray Charles. She has a green one and can't do without it now. She completely ignores all other toys, and knows where the green turtle is at all times. I ordered a bear for her and can't wait to see if she likes it. She loves to throw it and let it bouce around uncontrolably. I provides a lot of play time when I'm not around.
