Your furry friends are cute, but these toys may be cuter...
This silly set includes a plush wine bottle, two figs, two olives, and two types of cheese — all are filled with organic catnip.
Promising review: "I finally caved and bought this set. It's super cute and I'm surprised by how much my two cats like these toys. They like to bat around the olives and figs, and then bunny-kick the wine bottles. So far everything has held up well and the toys seem very well-made!" —Andrea

In the before and after above, it took three puppies with razor-sharp teeth two months to even start tearing through the first plush layer.
Promising review: "Bought one for my mom’s 'super chewer' and one for our corgi. They have become the favored toys for both dogs! While the super chewer is working on destroying his, it’s been two to three weeks and the outer cover is still intact. Meanwhile, the corgi loves fetching his." —Meghan S.

Promising review: "This item arrived very quickly. It is the second ZippyPaws toy I have ordered. The reason I ordered a second is because the quality of the first one (different style) was so excellent. We have a young, small dog, who had chewed through almost all of his regular squeak toys. These are still holding up without the squeakers breaking or holes being chewed through. Excellent product. My daughter ordered a different style for her pup!" —pmh51

Promising review: "Our male adult cat loves it. He kept scratching couches and bed frames so this has helped. We got the medium size and it was perfect, the bigger size may good good for a very large cat. The little ball is entertaining. The cactus is only stiff in the middle/bases, the little arms aren't stiff, they are soft and floppy but the cat seems to like biting and flopping them around anyways." —Abigail

Promising review: "I got this a few months ago and I was just about as excited as my dog was. My dog likes to chew through her toys within 24 hours and pull out the squeaky things. This is the first stuffed one she hasn't ripped apart. It's now her favorite toy and it's the first thing she grabs when we say 'go get your toy.' Like owner, like dog. The squeaker is broken now...but everything else is nicely intact and I even ran it through the washing machine. It's a must-buy for kicks but also good playtime." –Melanie H.

Promising review: "Within minutes of putting my little carrot tree together my bunny immediately started to play and bite at it! It was very easy to set up which I expected but it is also sturdy enough to stand on its own. I currently have mine placed on carpet and it stays upright. Love that. Highly recommend for your bunnies!" —Maria De Los Santos

Promising review: "I purchased this for a 10-lb. pup who loves toys and it was a hit. She was into it immediately and eventually carried it in the other room so she could play without us bothering her. We've had it for months and she still likes it. She carries the squirrels around with her (very cute). All the pieces have held together really well and all the squeakers still work." —Kylie

Promising review: "Works like a charm! I recently found myself a cat mama of an abandoned week-old kitten. I bought this knowing she needed just something to cuddle up to in her bed. Turns out it basically hypnotizes her to sleep. She crawls to it, kneads it and eventually her meows turn to silence. I wish the purring lasted longer but for $10 it is a lifesaver. She's pooped on it a couple of times so I've had to throw it in the washer and dryer minus the battery pack. It's held up great." —S Leytem

Promising review: "I decided to buy this for my cat after she stayed at our pet sitter's house and played all day with one of these bananas there. This is by far the greatest toy I have ever purchased for her. She just spent the last 2.5 hours playing with it with no breaks. Normally she sticks with a toy for about 10 minutes before returning to a nap." —Meg

Promising review: "My baby LOVES these! They're super soft, well made, and she immediately started drooling and playing with them. They're super cute – a great size for her to roll around and play with. With these being so plushy and soft I only worry about how quickly she’ll be able to pull them apart in the long run, but I suppose that’s why they come six to a pack. I will definitely be buying more when she wears these out." —Riley Coyote

My dog Penny loves this toy. Anything with a squeaker she goes nuts for and anything that's Disney-themed I have to have so this toy is a win-win. She has yet to rip this apart so that's when I know a toy is durable and worth the spend.
