Review by WSJ Reader for Coleman Supersized Bear Trophy Dog Toy Rating:
One of my Aussies is very hard on stuffed toys, and this Bear has really withstood her abuse. First, she removed the only stuffing which was in the head and then with surgical precision removed all “squeekers” (located in each paw) otherwise the Bear is in good shape and has lasted over 2 years. Because it held up so well, I recently purchased 2 more to keep in reserve. I have reservations toward the Moose and (can’t recall the other one) because they have antlers and such for her to chew/rip off.

I initially ordered this based on reviews and a friends recommendation. My 9 week old puppy loves to chew it and tromp around the house with it…(reaally cute to see this little tiny puppy drag a toy bigger then he is around the house!)
I often catch him asleep on it as well. This was a perfect toy for him. Thank you to everyone who reviewed this item!!! The squeakers in all paws and in the head are an added bonus.

This toy is too expensive. It does not last a real chewer even one day. My 10 month old terrier/shep mix had the head ripped off within an hour. This is not a stuffing-free toy. The head and feet have lots of stuffing in them. Big mess. Within one day my dog had the face completely ripped off, toy turned inside out and all 5 squeaking devices were removed and destroyed. We were not playing tug of war. She is just a surgical chewer. The stuffing-free Skinneez toys cost 1/2 to 1/4 of the price, and they last her 1-2 weeks! This toy would be great if you have a moderate to light chewer. It’s very cute. One nice surprise – once it was inside out, I thought we had a new toy. The backside of the fabric has giraffe print on it! It was like we had a completely different critter to mangle!

My dog loved this bear. Past tense. It lasted 1.5 months. She’s a strong chewer and I will say this bear lasted much longer than any other stuffed toy we’ve given her.
If you are looking at this one vs the raccoon and have a big chewer then get this bear because its much tougher.
Review by K. Daum for Coleman Supersized Bear Trophy Dog Toy Rating:
Well, it took about a month, but I just noticed that there’s a fist-sized hole in the bear’s throat…. funny, as I never heard stitches popping when we played tug-o-war! I don’t know how long the hole has been there, there’s not a lot of stuffing to let me know.
Anyway, we still use it, regardless of the hole! I have a 30 lb sheltie who loves to play tug-o-war, though if I really *pull* on the toy, she lets go…. so it’s a gentler kind of tug-o-war, I’ll admit. She just hops and tugs and shakes the bear to her heart’s content. My dog is not a determined toy destroyer, thankfully.
This toy is adorable, and it’s actually better for my back, as I can hold onto a paw while my sheltie grabs hold of another paw, and I don’t have to bend over (I’m 5’9″). Each paw has a squeaker, and the bear head has a “grunter”, all of which are still functioning after month’s worth of play.
I’m glad I bought it! It gets daily play at my house, it’s clearly one of my dog’s Top Two favorites. My sheltie looks so cute when she goes over to her toy basket and plucks this “bear rug” out, and prances about happily with it, all the while tripping on it because her legs are too short and the toy is so big as she drags it around. I’m going to have to buy a camcorder just to film my sheltie with this bear toy.
