Flying Series
Slingshot Dog Toy With Squeaker

Comments:
On our first launch of the Flying Duck the bungy neck broke.
We don't consider this a quality product.
The packaging stated "MADE IN CHINA"
An associate who also tested the product had the same opinion.
Rating: Junk

Loc8tor Pet


Comments
We tested this product in an open field with the collar tag resting on the back of a dog's neck. We were not able to locate the tag at 100'. Before the credit card size handset could locate the dog, it would shut off due to inactivity.  On a small dog or cat we would expect the product to perform even worse.

It may be a fine product for finding your keys in your house, but we would not recommend relying on this product to locate pets.


Rating:
Not recommended.

Pawdoodles Krinklers Squirrel

This toy is designed to fit a standard 16.9 oz water bottle, but you could also use it without a bottle for a toy for your dog. It was designed for dogs that like to chew on water bottles.

Comments:
Not recommended for dogs that enjoy destroying things. This product was torn apart in minutes by our evaluator. Materials appeared to be thin and weak. 
Would not recommend.

Hugglehounds Rabbit XL

This is a soft semi-plush understuffed dog toy.

Comments:
Not recommended for dogs that like to pull toys apart. Our evaluator had the tail off in just a couple minutes. When our evaluators put it to the tug test it failed within seconds. This toy was completely destroyed by our team of professionals in about 20 minutes.

An alternative would be the Tuffy's and Mighty Dog toys. You can view our recommendations on the "Dog Toys We Like" page.
