Review of Multipet Terry Loofa Dog Toy

Everyone loves the commercial where the woman tosses her dogs old Loofa toy into the trash and takes him to Petco to buy him a new one. The dog loves the Loofa toy so much that the cashier has to ring the toy up with it in his mouth because he refuses to put it down.
When I first saw this cute commercial, I wanted a Loofa toy for my dog. They were just so cute, and the dog in the commercial apparently loved his. Recently while we were at Petco we came across these adorable dog toys. They came in small key chains sizes to large 2 foot long ones. I wanted to 2 foot long one for our Bully, and a medium sized on for Bubba.
The size though in the commercial was the medium size which is about 12 inches long. The toy has a build in squeaker in his belly, and we discovered a second squeaker in the dogs nose.
We had the option to buy the Loofa Dog Toy in many colors, such as red, blue, yellow, purple, green, and white. We bought the larger one in yellow, and the regular 12 inch one in purple. The 12 inch Loofa came to around $5.00, and the larger one was $8.00.
We brought them home and handed them off. Our dogs have always loved toys, and love receiving new ones. Bully immediately took his, and Bubba was excited to get one as well. However the little dog wanted the big one, and it became quite the tug of war, with noses squeaking, and stuffing flying, we watched as our little guy tried to do battle with the big guy over the toy.
In the end the big Loofa ended up ripping, and having his guts come out. It turned out this bigger Loofa Dog was built with cheaper material than the smaller 12 inch Loofa. You could tell just by holding it, but we were not expecting it to rip that easily. Oh well, $8.00 down the drain.
The 12 inch Loofa withstood the test of time. The two were able to tug of war with this one, without it ripping or breaking.
Over time though the purple coloring to the Loofa began to fade, due to the fact that Bully would bring it outside every once in awhile and romp with it in the dirt. Drool, dirt, and God knows what else ended up on that toy. After about a month we simply bought a few more of them. The reason was because the dogs always chose the Loofa over their other stuffed animals, and what we liked best about it was that two dogs could tug of war with it at the same time without anyone getting bit or hurt by accident. One dog would grab the Loofa Dogs face, and the other would get his feet. Let the battle begin! Bully seems to always win, ad he drags the little guys across the floor, seeing how he weighs about 35 pounds, and the smaller dogs who play with him, weigh in at about 8 pounds.
Overall, we have been satisfied with the regular sized Loofa Dogs. They are able to take a long, hard beating, and the dogs have enjoyed them ever since we brought the first one home.
The larger Loofa's though I would avoid, only because they are poorly made compared to the standard commercial sized Loofa Dogs.
I would recommend the Loofa Dogs to any pet owner who has a dog that enjoys carrying around stuffed animals. Like I said though, avoid the larger Loofas or you will end up picking up stuffing all over the house.
You can purchase a Loofa Dog Toy at any local Petco, or online at their site at www.Petco.com. They are on sale now for $4.24.
