How many of you have given your dog a new toy only to have them open it and destuff it within minutes? You look at the mess and think "OMG, I hope you didn't eat any of that!" Then you wait 2 or 3 days to see if any stuffing comes back up or passes out the opposite end. That's always fun, poking a stick in dog poo seeing if it's really dog poo or if it's stuffing covered in a dog poo mess. All the while hoping no neighbors ask what you're doing! I know gross....but lets face it, if you have a dog who shreds toys or has eaten something they probably shouldn't have, you've probably 'been there done that'.
Olive was feeling 'moody' and gave me 'tude about having her picture taken. |
This is where Crazy Critters comes in! With Crazy Critters there is no stuffing for the dogs to potentially eat! But it's still a plush toy, just like dogs love, that squeaks and is easy to toss around. In our case it's a fight between the kids and the dog. Was that stuffed pig given to the kids or the dog? The dog thinks ALL plush toys are for her and the kids don't know the difference - they just want the toy they think is theirs. But there is no confusion with Crazy Critters - no stuffing, squeaks...it's the DOG'S! (Who would've thought the kids and dog would be fighting over toys??? Not me! LOL)
Oooh the 'tude! She was SO not cooperating with me! |
My Lab, Olive, can be pretty rough on her toys (and moody in general). She's had a plush camel since she was 10 weeks old that has had many, many "stitches" and "operations" to hold it together. In the several weeks that she's been playing with her Crazy Critter there's been no sign of wear and tear, other than the slime left behind. It's survived a few games of Tug of War and countless tosses. She loves to fold it in half and carry it that way.
Here's what TeleBrands has to say about Crazy Critters:
Here's what TeleBrands has to say about Crazy Critters:
Crazy Critters™ are stuffing free plush toys with squeakers on both ends. Dogs love them and will make it their favorite toy guaranteed. The favorite Crazy Critter is the Friendly Fox and it sells for just $10.
Crazy Critters™ are certain to be the toy that both you and your dog are sure to love! They are stuffing-free so they lie flat, making them easy for practically any dog to play with. And, because they are stuffing-free, you will never have to worry about cleaning up the mess from a torn or ripped stuffed animal. Even better, your dog will never be exposed to loose stuffing that could be dangerous if eaten. Crazy Critters™ are super plush and realistic looking -- they even squeak -- making your dog think that he or she is playing with a friend. Best of all, they are hand washable so you can use them indoors or outside.
I agree with all of it. My favorite part - the are *washable*! What's worse than having a dog destuff a toy and spread it throughout your family room is having a toy destuff itself in your washer or dryer!

I personally like the racoon. Since my dog can't tell me which he would prefer, he'll just have to go with my opinion. :) The no stuffing inside is great. Even though my dog can't talk, he has declared war on all of the evil stuffing that lurks inside other dog toys. Usually when he gets a new toy, it looks like it has snowed about 30 minutes later. Stuffing everywhere. Bad doggie.

Well I asked both of my dogs what they'd prefer, but I couldn't translate their dog speak. So, I guess their adoptive people mommy would say the FOX. Hope I'm right.

Tazzy would love the raccoon. He's not allowed to play with the real ones in the backyard so this could be our compromise.

I don't have a dog, but my cats would love to play with the fox. Without the stuffing, they'd be able to throw it around and kick it a lot better than a little mouse.
The fox would be great!
