ZippyPaws Happy Hour Crusherz - Zippy Paws Dog Toy for Large and Small Dogs, Crinkle Dog Toy with No Stuffing, Squeaky Dog Toy Pack of 1, Whiskey

Thinking of buying for your dog or as a gift for someone else? definitely do it. It's an absolutely brilliant toy concept and design. It's well made and the fact that it comes with a bottle inside was a surprise as I didn't read that part of the description (I got the medium, I believe). The bottle comes with a special top that squeeks along with the crumpling sound of plastic when squeezed. Mind you, the small doesn't allow for the bottle, and this size works for any small to medium dogs and pups, the large must be for the giant doggos?We've all been there, you spend hundreds on toys, only to find your pet more interested in a plastic bottle, a box, or some other literal piece of trash. The problem with handing over a bottle you've used (besides it not being the best on their teeth or for your ears) is that you have to always ensure that no leftover fluids remain (often not pet friendly diet sodas and other bad for even us humans, energy drinks and the like), and then there's the label wrapping that never wants to come off that they always get in their mouths and never want to drop, and finally the ultimate challenge.... of removing the plastic ring that seals the top, which poses the greatest safety threat of them all. This toy takes out all of the imminent dangers (and ugliness), leaving behind all the fun bottly bits and then some, besides being a funny toy whiskey bottle concept.I have a shiba puppy who is relentless, fearless, bold and has never met nor cares to meet anyone named patience. Rather than me having to desperately rip off a bottle label and try to get the seal ring off without cutting myself, while being yelled at by a tiny, four legged dictator called Empress Matilda, as she's completely losing her mind, I have this toy now! (Sure do it another room, you say, if she knows I'm out of sight and have something she wants, she will do the first most terrible thing she can to furniture or find something dangerous I didn't know was in her play room area- and hold it hostage, negotiations are exhausting).I've had it for about five minutes, so I can't speak to the other facets like a true test of durability, but with decades of dog toy experience and a formerly toy obsessed senior Shiba, I know how long lasting a toy can be with a lack of stuffing and the quality stitching of the design patches is evident (though a lot of dogs favor the shell of a toy once stuffed they won't let go of, this toy sort of skips that destructive step). I am confident it will hold up far longer than her puppy interest in all things seemingly destructive, like biting and tossing trash bottles because she knows they aren't hers, fingers crossed on this being a phase 🤞Now I'm on a mission to ensure I have backups for that simple, albeit, genius squeeky mechanism top that I can place on any bottle of similar, standard (think case of water bottles, but more durable) size.I will say, this is for light to average/moderate chewers (fine for shakers and tossers) in that a dog who destroys anything and everything, will do the same here. The squeeky mechanism top is in tact inside of the toy, and of course is dangerous for those dogs capable and willing to go for it (without thumbs, they must have a lot of determination and time in order to succeed at such a mission). Definitely supervise if there's any question of this possibly happening.While stuffing will eventually come out of any toy my girl meets when the seams come undone from average play, she's less inclined to open up the velcro and purposefully destroy what's inside... more of a "well this hole happened so I will stick my nose inside and play a fun game of keep away while I empty the endless supply of poly stuffing inside." Actually will likely use it for other mind active games like encouraging her to open it to get her treat or her ball, so I'll be purchasing a backup ASAP for this reason. I use the barkbox two in ones for similar purposes.Anyways, 10/10 would recommend.

My dog loves it! Very well made, she will not be able to destroy it. Good squeak sound. She loves Whiskey now!

Dog loved it! It is easy to tear apart so be mindful but it’s cute

Four month old puppy loves this toy! Her sister loves it as well! Plus it's super cute. There are a few downsides to it that makes me think I would maybe not purchase this again. Major issue is the quality of the velcro holding the flap closed. Puppy was able to rip it open in no time and was able to get to the bottle easily. Now that she's been able to get to it and chew on it, it barely takes much to open the flap. I would suggest for future improvements to put better quality velcro. So speaking of said bottle, the one that comes with the toy is super nice and durable. I made the mistake of taking it out too soon thinking I'd just replace it so she could keep squeaking. Well I wish I hadn't, water bottles now days are super thin and easily crushable. It's hard to get it into the toy and you end up crushing half of it in the process. Unfortunately with how easy it is to open the flap, she was able to pull the bottle out and chew on the squeaker end which destroyed it. That's on us for not watching her better but I'd like to think if the velcro was better it would have taken longer to get to this point. Then there is the issue with using plastic bottles which is horrible for our environment. I did go into buying this knowing that, we just collect used bottles from our family to use since they aren't as concerned, so at least they're getting a second use rather than going straight to trash or recycle. Overall, super cute concept but probably wouldn't purchase again or at least not as often as other toys.

I bought this for our pugs. It’s a great little toy, and they love it, but it makes a really horrible crinkle sound when they bite into it. I opened the back of the toy to find a water bottle, like a 20 ounce Aquafina type bottle, with a squeaky toy top on it. The squeaky part is fine, it is expected as this is a squeaky toy, but the crushing repeatedly of the water bottle is what got this toy taken away from my dogs. They loved it, but it becomes highly annoying after a while.. maybe it won’t to other people, but it was to me. The outer portion is good quality, cute, and I ended up stuffing it with a different squeaky toy and some cotton batting. They are back in business!

Our Corgi loved it-Problem is that the material got ripped to shreds in a half hour.The product is a great concept because it could be used only as a crinkle toy (if you don’t want the squeaky noise just unscrew the squeaker bottle top inside) as well as if you want just to use it as a quiet sock toy, you can take the bottle out completely. The MAJOR flaw is that the material completely doesn’t hold up!It is very cute , she did love the toy, and we did get a photo op - Corgi with Champagne bottle, so at least there is that. Just wish it lasted more than 30 minutes before it was torn up.(Wish I would have taken a photo of the toy after 30 minutes of playing)

This is a great toy for *supervised* play. The best part of this toy is that when your dog wears out the crunchy bottle inside, you can replace it with a regular empty water bottle (like a nestle water bottle), and just screw the squeaker cap onto the new bottle. The cover can be washed. The only problem is that if you leave it alone with your dog, they could possibly get the bottle out of the cover and chew it up, creating plastic shards. My golden is more excited to play fetch with it since it is a "special" toy that he doesn't get to have all the time, so it works for us.

This toy is so perfect! It has a crinkley bottle inside that my puppy loves to chew on, and you can even take it out and fill it with ice on a nice hot day. One of the best toys I ever bought! Dog mama approved. She also has yet to chew through it with her puppy teeth!
