Multipet Lamb Chop Squeaky Plush Dog Toy, Regular

My dogs love a variety of toys but they all have their favorites. My oldest prefers the moose and hedgehogs, my youngest loves the natural toys (squirrels and ducks) and my middle child...she LOVES these lamb choppies. But I've got to tell you how much I hate them. Because of the teeny tiny little itty bitty plastic fasteners they use to attach the tags to the toy. First of all, the lamb is white. Why, for the love of Pete, can't they just use a colored plastic to fasten the tags to these things? At least then you'd stand a better chance of finding all the pieces in the lamb's white fur. Maybe make them a lot longer so that when you push on one end, the other end stands out far enough to be seen. Maybe take a note from the Marvin moose toys and use something thick enough that it's obvious. Maybe use 1 to attach the cardboard to the toy instead of 7 or 8 or 10. They are doubled up, 4 in main cardboard. Two in each front foot, two in each front leg and there's usually another tag in the rear of the toy. They are near impossible to get them all out. I've got my hands on them before I cut them and I find most of them but this current batch I couldn't find the other end of the ones in each of the left legs (bought 4 at once). I BEG the manufacturer of these to STOP using these plastic fasteners! PLEASE! We have friends who just lost their dog to one of these little plastic fasteners. They thought they got them all and the dog ended up eating one. It punctured his intestines and he was septic before they realized something was wrong. Imaging can't find these because they aren't metal. Poor dog died during the exploratory surgery and the vet finally found the plastic fastener during the necropsy. And people lose their body parts to these too. People step on these and get them embedded into their skin and the infection is slow to start, but once it gets going it festers and before you know it, it's in the bone and you're having a toe or portion of your foot amputated. I've seen it. It's not pretty. Please stop using these plastic fasteners to attach tags to these toys. Either that or make them longer...or use colored ones. I know they exist. I've seen them myself. Do something to be better.

This toy is as big as my dog and she loves it! We had the smaller size and it held up well, but she squeaked on paw squeakers so much that they eventually got holes. She also chewed off one ear, so it was time for a new one. I got the jumbo size because I thought it should be sturdier and less prone to being torn. Even though it is as big as she is, she absolutely loves it. She sits in front of the cabinet it is stored in and waits for me to get it out to play. She loves to play fetch with it, and the squeakers are just as much fun for her as they were in the smaller size.
