Tuggo Dog Toy Review | Dr. Justine Lee

Recently, I had the opportunity to try the Tuggo Dog Toy on my own 57-pound, pit bull mix. After seeing this ranked as one of top toys at SuperZoo, I decided to try it out myself.

First, I should clarify that my dog, Milo, is a ball-crazed mutt. He loves tennis balls, ChuckIt toys, soccer balls, etc. So when I took this one out, his eyes literally dilated!

The pros of the Tuggo Dog Toy:

• The plastic is extremely durable and thick.
• It’s easy to unscrew the ball with a coin to add in water or sand.
• It entertains your dog for long periods of time in the yard!
• The rope can pull through on either side, even when the ball is filled.
• The plastic is hard to chew through, making it dog-proof.

The cons of the Tuggo Dog Toy:

• If you have a dog that likes to “break the neck” of a toy (in other words, flop the toy back and forth in his mouth), he can really bonk his head hard with the heavy plastic.
• The plastic is hard to grab (like a regular soccer ball), making it really hard for a dog to bite into. This drove my dog nuts as he really wanted to bite the ball. But it was entertaining!
• The rope – despite its thickness – was partially chewed through by Milo within a few days. It was completely chewed through within weeks.
• When the rope gets wet (when you leave it outside), it starts to rot and rip even more.
• The Tuggo Dog Toy is so heavy – when filled – that it kills the grass sitting under the toy when left dormant on the yard. But seriously, what dog owner has a nice lawn?

Overall, was really happy with the toy. Definitely fun and entertaining. Check out Milo playing with the video here!
