    Mighty Dog Toy: Linus the Lion (@DogTuff)

    Say hi to our newest Mighty Dog Toy – Linus the Lion. A level 7 in firmness and sturdiness and the 4th contender as Jacob’s favorite toy.

    Linus is the new Wally and Wally was the new Wilburr and Wilburr was the new Lenny.

    1st one Lenny (Nov 2010-March 2011) 4 months

    2nd one Wilburr (March 2011-Oct 2011) 7 months

    3rd one Wally (March 2012-Oct 2012)7 months


    Wally had seen better days

    Even though Linus was $25.99 + tax (yikes) at this local West Village pet store, I know that it is Jacob’s favorite toy and he will sleep with it every night!

    You can get it for a better price at www.Dogtuff.com

    Orbee Mazee @planetdog1997

    We did a great giveaway to 2 of our readers dogs to test out the Orbee Tuff Mazee last month and the reviews are in!

    #1 We gave the Raspberry one to Chance (10 year old Yellow Lab from West Village Manhattan)


    This was a housewarming present for Chance (His owner recently sublet my apartment).  I thought this would be a a great toy for Chance because he is an adult dog who might find this fun.  Being a lab, he is also driven by his nose and the treats would prove to be a great incentive for him to play with this puzzle.   I obviously under estimated Chance and thought the Mazee would ‘challenge him’ because I got this text from his owner shortly after.  Oh SILLY DOG!  You are suppose to figure it out, not tear it open!

    #2 – The Green Ball was given to 7 month old TAMU an Australian Heeler pup from Fort Greene Brooklyn.

    Tamu was immediately in love with the minty smell, the bouncy ball and of course the treats inside. She spent at least 15 mins rolling the ball around the room with her nose, pawing it and sitting down with her face on it. She love the intricate puzzle and used all her puppy senses she had to figure out how to get the treat!  Playing with the Mazee is a daily ritual now for Tamu and she can get the treats out in less than 3 mins now. The best part is that this ball is easy to clean with some warm water and soap.

    Mighty Dog Toy: Wally the Walrus

    Jacob got his 3rd Mighty Dog Toy yesterday!  I picked up Wally the Walrus from the Arctic series.  Previously, Jacob got Lenny the Leopard and then Wilburr McPaw the Polar Bear.  He loves these toys because they are made especially for big dogs and have great durability.

    Welcome to the toy boy, see how long you last.

    It retails for $19.99 but I got it for $9 at discount retailer Marshall’s where they have a huge pet section recently.

    A’maze’ your Pup with @planetdog1997

    Planet Dog is thrilled to announce the launch of its Orbee-Tuff® Mazee™, an interactive dog toy that features a maze for treats inside of an Orbee-Tuff ball.  After years of development, the socially responsible pet industry leader is proud to offer dog lovers an innovative and stimulating toy like no other.

    “Orbee-Tuff Mazee is our fresh take on the interactive toy, stimulating puzzle craze,” says Kristen Smith, Planet Dog’s Brand Ambassador.  “We are excited to offer dog lovers a clear alternative to other puzzle toys on the market,” adds Smith.

    Although Orbee-Tuff Mazee is made from Planet Dog’s award-winning Orbee-Tuff, it is intended for puzzle play, not chewing.  Dogs that have already been lucky enough to play with it have loved it.  Its transparent shell makes it fun for dogs and people to watch the treats navigate their way through the maze.

    This eco-friendly toy is made in the USA from 100% recycled and recyclable materials.  Orbee-Tuff Mazee is available in one size and two colors:  raspberry and green.  Like all of Planet Dog’s high-quality products, it is 100% guaranteed.  It can be washed by wiping the outside with a damp cloth, filling with hot water and shaking before air drying.

    HyperPet Slingshot Pig

    Hyper Pet Flying Series Slingshot Toys…Thumb released slingshot dog toy with squeaker

    • Made with durable ballistic material
    • Bungy neck launches toy up to 100 feet!
    • Available in several fun animal designs, colors and sizes
    • Meets or exceeds child toy safety standards
    • Floats in water for summertime fun!

    As you all know Jacob loves his soft toys. He has never been a real fan of Kongs or other Rubber toys – But he surely loves to run and play.  When we got this HyperPet Slingshot Pig, we were excited to test it out.  We got the mini flying pig in green.  Here is the first look.

    After one day, some pulling and tugging, the Slingshot Pig got a little stressed out.  I couldn’t sling it properly because I don’t know how but we were able to Nerf ball it. Then that scared Jacob when it hit the wall and he didn’t love it.  The piggy got gutted shortly after that. 1 point for Jacob, 0 points for the Slingshot pig.

    Maybe a great toy for a Border Collie or a water dog?

    We rate this toy 3 out of 5 bones
