Hyper Pet Doggie Tail & Pal Interactive Plush Dog Toys (Wiggles, Vibrates & Barks – Dog Ball for Stimulating Play) Interactive Dog Toys, Dog Squeaky Toys- Colors May Vary

Our 3 1/2 year old English Springer Spaniel has been playing with this since we brought her home at 12 weeks. It is among her favorite toys and she shakes it, growls at it, and runs all over with it hanging out of her mouth. It keeps her busy for quite awhile. The batteries are a little hard to change but that's a good thing. I have just had to order a new cover for the current one. She does bang them around and we've replaced it a couple of times but it is well worth the cost. Best interactive dog toy we have ever bought.

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 below The 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 problem Things 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'

My dog is 9 yrs. old so I've purchased 9 of these as I get him a new one every year. Usually, it's just loud and the bark is annoying to humans but like catnip (ya know if dogs liked catnip) to my dog. My pup was so excited when his new one arrived back in early July 2024 and couldn't wait for me to pull the tab to get the barking, bouncing, wiggling to begin. I took it out of the package, pulled the tab and gave it to him, he shook it and this HORRIBLE screeching/squealing sound came out of it! Oh boy, it was defective. I had to take it away from my boy and get on Amazon and do an exchange because it should bark and bounce and wiggle, not squeal/screech and bounce and wiggle. I did the exchange and a few days later a new one was delivered! The joy on my pups face was priceless. Again, I pulled the tab out and gave it to him and this one ALSO HAD A HORRIBLE SCREECHING/SQUEALING SOUND! I decided to contact the seller directly as I didn't want to get them in trouble with Amazon for selling multiple defective products. I called the number on the enclosed paperwork and got voicemail so I left a message with my name, email address and return phone number just as the outgoing message instructed. I waited 4 days and no one called me back so I called the number again and again got voicemail so I left yet another message, it's been over a week now and no one has bothered to call me back. Terrible customer service and two defective products that they absolutely know about and here I am giving a trash review for a trash company with a great product that my dog loves when it works as advertised. Fortunately, I see there are other companies on Amazon that sell similar products so my dog will not have to go without for too long. Just seriously disappointed that I've purchased 9 of these from this vendor over the years and can't get an email or call of apology! I hope Amazon pulls them as a seller so they don't scam anyone else!

Annoys the hell out of the other half! But makes the dog SOOO FREAKIN HAPPY!!! Top 3 toys he requires with him. Both his & my heart would break if they stopped selling these! New sound is also a great improvement!!

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.

It’s a requested Xmas gift

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

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