Pup's favorite toy above all others even chewies!For For whatever reason this is my Shihtzu pup's very most favorite toy! We took all the eggs out of the belly so it is more flat he prefers it that way and that platypus sees more action then all the other toys combined! We have rawhide twists nylabones squeaky toys balls and this is his always goto favorite toy.We bought it because it was the least expensive dog stuffed animal at the local pet shop because our 7 y.o. insisted he needed a stuffy and we've been amazed by his love of it. Interestingly our sitter says she has the same platypus for her dog and he loves it too. What's up with the love for this odd stuffed dog toy?Highly recommended.
dogs had a good time! Dogs loved it! Doxies.
Well Made & Fun Dog Toy When I first received the Kyjen Egg dog toy I thought that it would be too big for our 12lb dog but upon removing the three eggs plus you receive two addtional spare eggs the toy become more floppy and it wasn't a problem. The toy is well made and our dog makes a hobby of destroying his toys. Over a month latter it is still in good shape cheaply made doesn't last past a week with our dog I like that it is a platypus being originally from Australia and a pleasant and novel change from the usual pigs chickens etc.
This is SO fun but some dogs may need a little extra help My puppy is 6 months old. He might be a little slower than other dogs or maybe it's his age or both but it took him a little longer to get this. When we first got it as other reviewers have mentioned he wanted to tear apart the alligator and wasn't interested in the eggs even though I followed the instructions. So I took the alligator away and we just played with the eggs for a couple of days. The eggs are fun by themselves they squeak and are about the size of a tennis ball.Then I brought the alligator back out and put one egg in so that most of it was sticking out. He could get at it very easily and pull it out. We did that for about a day and I slowly snuck the egg in further and further. Then I did the same thing with two eggs then three eggs. He got the hint that there were more eggs inside waiting for him.Then all of a sudden the light turned on and he got the game. Now he will play with it for quite a long time especially for a puppy. It is so cute to watch him figure it out each time. I've hidden rawhide bones and other things in there as well. The alligator seems to be holding up well considering how quickly he goes through his other stuffed toys. He isn't trying to destroy it anymore just get the eggs out. The stitching around the egg opening seems like it might go first but that's an easy fix. Oh I'd recommend getting the set of replacement eggs because even though this one comes with two extra they are easier to destroy and they are also small enough that they roll away into the far reaches of the house.
Brilliant! My dog LOVES it! I would like to say that the idea of eggs in a Platypus is brilliant. The toy stood up for over a month without much wear for my 5 month old Boston Terrier puppy. After about a month and a half he was able to chew the bill off but it's still going strong two months in other than that. It comes with extra eggs which is another plus. They are great fun to play fetch with.
Platypus with eggs I have bought egg babies before for my dogs. The dogs love them and will play with them for hours. Beware of the eggs on the platypus. My Boxer puppy almost swallowed one of the eggs whole. It was very fortunate that she was able to cough it out. The eggs used to be larger. I was very disappointed in this toy and threw the eggs out.
Great toy! I bought this for my Akita who loves plush toys and does not tend to be destructive with them. This is by far his favorite toy and he's had it over a year and has not destroyed it yet nor have the two Shiba Inus he lives with. They find something very satisfying about digging out the eggs and it seems to be enough for them so they don't try to rip up the toy too.My Akita is 120 pounds but is not a destructive chewer. He looks pretty silly carrying the eggs around in his mouth but he does! I like to rotate toys so they don't get too bored with stuff and as soon as this toy comes out again he grabs it and hides it upstairs because he doesn't want one of the other dogs to get it. He's really crazy about it!I wouldn't recommend this for a strong chewer or a dog who had a history of tearing up plush toys but if your dogs plays well with other toys and enjoys ripping out the stuffing of other toys he may find this a satisfying toy instead.
DO NOT BUY THIS! My dog swallowed the eggs and they got stuck in his stomach. He had to have surgery as a result. I am thankful he's alive and want to share this info with others.
Favorite Toy Months Later!!! When we first got this toy my puppy didn't really get it. I tried teaching her like the product recommends and my puppy didn't seem to care. I gave up and just left the toy in her basket. I am not sure when it changed but at some point she became OBSESSED with the eggs! Once she wanted the eggs when I would put them in she'd get them out! It takes her very little time to do so though. So I guess the trick is to get the dog to want the egg first! But even months later she doesn't care about the platypus but is OBSESSED with the eggs! She loves hiding them under the couch under the bed etc.
Platypus Needs Surgical Intervention I have been buying a bunch of dog toys for my 4 month old cocker spaniel lately on Amazon. Some have turned out to be keepers and some have been put in a puppy toy box to be taken out when my pupster is older and maybe has forgotten he didn't really like the toy. Platypus is being placed in that box for future playtime when he is older. The main reason my puppy didn't play with Platypus is that he couldn't get the eggs out of her stomach. Geesh I even had a hard time getting them out when I was showing my pup how to do it. I had to cut open the opening to make it wider. The elastic opening didn't open wide enough even with the surgical intervention. It was still difficult to get the eggs out and I have opposable thumbs.
