The size is just right for my medium dog and it’s so cute, resembling the classic Lamb Chop character. He carries it everywhere and never loses interest. I can’t recommend it enough!"

"We have a full collection of these because each Lamb Chop is adored to ‘death’ by our pups. We’ve developed a whole system to swap out worn toys without them noticing, and they treat each one like a baby. The variety of sizes is fantastic, and it’s worth every penny for the joy it brings."

"My Golden Doodle uses this as his own emotional support animal, carrying it everywhere—even when guests arrive or he needs to go outside. While he’s a heavy chewer and the toy doesn’t last long, he loves it so much that I keep buying a new one for every birthday and holiday."

Definitely buying another one to keep the fun going."

"I've picked up several of these swing toys—for some reason, my dog only wants to play with these! The multiple squeakers keep her busy, and she loves to tug, snuggle, and even play on her own.

"I bought this plush duck for my three dogs, and it's quickly become their go-to toy. The extra-long legs make it perfect for tug-of-war, and the squeakers keep them entertained for hours.

"I've got three dogs and they all go nuts for these toys, especially the Kyjen Hide-A-Squirrel!

Highly recommend to fellow dog owners—these are the best toys I've bought!"

"I've got three dogs and ordered these toys along with the Hide-A-Squirrel set. After months of rough daily play, the toys are still in great shape—only a couple have lost their squeakers. My dogs love dissecting them, but even the squeakerless ‘squirrel carcasses’ still get tons of use. I’m amazed by their durability and would absolutely buy Kyjen products again."

"My 9-month-old poodle pup is obsessed with this! She loves the challenge of pulling the donuts out of the box, and the squeakers and crinkly sounds keep her engaged. Although she's a heavy chewer and will eventually destroy it, it's totally worth it for the fun and stimulation it provides."

"This is my first BarkBox order and I'm impressed by the creativity of the toys. The 4-in-1 design is unique and perfect for medium to small dogs. It's a bit smaller than I expected, but considering the brand and overall quality, I think it's well worth the price."

"I've picked up several of these swing toys and my dog is absolutely obsessed—she won't play with anything else!
