Hyper Pet Doggie Tail Interactive Plush Canine Toys (Wiggles, Vibrates, and Barks, Stimulating Play)

Great Interactive Toy – Would Recommend for Dogs Needing Something Different!
We have two of these now, and they are amazing. Our dog is an older gal (9 when we got our first one of these) who doesn’t like tennis balls, ropes, or anything a ‘normal’ dog would, but this is her favorite. She initiates play with it (she smacks it with her paw until it starts barking and moving) and gets a ton of exercise this way. I’d strongly recommend this if you are looking for an interactive toy or just something different. We do have one other toy that barks like this, but that one is just a ball and doesn’t have a tail. This gets used way more since the dog can carry this around by the tail. Overall, definitely worth the price and is a favorite. Details/specifics belowThe great stuff–our dog LOVES this toy (she’ll pick it out of the bottom of her other toys we’ve tried, even if it’s buried), and she is super picky with toys–super durable: had one for over a year and it isn’t torn/fraying/or anything–interactive..hello exercise! we play fetch with this but the dog also plays by herself and will throw it around or chew on the tail (makes a crinkly sound)–battery cover screws: the screws stay in even after you take the cover off, so you can’t lose them–Sound level. Not too loud, but also not too quite given it’s a toy that makes noise (it might wake you up if you’re taking a nap and the dog is playing next to you). It’s just the right volume level to where you don’t have to turn the TV up when the dog starts playing–easy to change batteries: there are two things of velcro you take apart to take the inside out and the two levels of velcro make it so the part with the battery is completely covered (don’t see it, and protected from doggie slobber)the not so great stuff–we got the saddest look from the dog when we took it away to change the batteries. Seriously heartbreaking, but we now have a second one to distract her with so problem solved–the dog sometimes turns it off. There’s a button on the inside ball to turn it off and on, and she sometimes turns it off unintentionally. I’ve learned to just find the button without taking the cover off, but it’s nice that there is an option to turn it off. We have other toys with a similar design to this and I’ve thrown them out because the buttons on those are easier to hit and the dog turned them off constantly. It does happen with this, but not very often–battery cover screws: they are tiny (can’t use a normal screwdriver–we use an eyeglass screwdriver we got from the dollar store) and are pretty easy to strip. We do change the batteries a lot though so I’m sure that’s contributed. Screws are a phillips though so I’ve been using a slightly bigger flathead and that fixed the problemThings to note–we change the batteries at least once per month since the dog uses it so much, but we buy them in bulk so it’s not really expensive–since our dog likes to throw this around on her own, we’ve had to designate her play areas. It hurts if you get hit with this thing, and we have glass fireplace doors/TV’s/pictures/decor that have had some close calls when we first got it. I don’t think the big items could break, but we didn’t want to take chances with the smaller things (image throwing a slightly bigger baseball covered in a thin layer of fur at a picture frame very fast..no thank you!). A lot of variables here that may not make it an issue for others, but something to consider depending on your dog/home–not sure how it would hold up with grass/dirt/the yard as we keep it inside given the electronics in it–very scary to bump it in the middle of the night in the dark and set it off. User error, but I’d recommend turning it off when not in use or putting it away if possible–not sure how this would work for puppy teeth or mastiff sized teeth. Our dog is a bigger lab/husky so she’s got some jaws, but the toy has held up very well with her ‘chew with the intention of having something to chew/make noise with’ rather than ‘chew to destroy’

Great but minor design issues
My 10 month old aussie loves it. It’s made out of a tough material that a small/medium-sized dog won’t be able to chew threw right away. I didn’t have any issues with the batteries, but…One, the ball is heavy. He swings it around like a mace and it hits the ground hard enough that the neighbors downstairs can hear it.Two, it’s easy to turn off. My pup is smart enough where whenever he turns it off he runs to me to turn it back on, so he clearly enjoys it.Three, the grey fur comes off easily. My pup is swallowing mouthfuls of felt fur. I can see it on his tongue whenever he puts it down to pant.Four, the ball containing the motor is a heavy duty plastic but it already has dents in it from only 20 minutes of play.Five, I think the cost is worth it, but only because my pup hasn’t destroyed it yet. However, if you want this toy to last, you need to monitor your dog.Overall, great fun toy, but design needs some tweaks. I’m hoping another cover will fit the same little motor so he won’t swallow as much fur.

Dog wore out previous covers. Nice to have a replacement.

nos gusto mucho, solo hace un sonido como de perrito sufriendo o llorando, eso no le gusto a mi perro

My young girl loves this toy. She was a bit unsure of it when it first arrived and seemed to think if she barked at it, it would work. She soon worked it out and 6 months later is still running around with it, tossing it around and catching it. I have had to change the batteries a few times but it has been the best value toy in keeping her entertained. The only complaint I have with it is that there is no screw on the cover of the battery box. So sometimes you think the batteries are flat but the batteries have just come loose. I use sticky tape at the moment until I find a small screw. May not be an issue on others as it could have just been missed in the one we received.
