Fluff & Tuff toys are made out of high-quality fabrics to be more durable, but they are still a plush toy and therefore not indestructible as they are a play toy, not a chew toy. This can’t emphasize that enough – “not a chew toy”! Much depends on the individual behavior of the dog and whether they do well with plush toys in general. We advise that you always supervise your dog’s playtime. So, if your dog gets tired of tugging with Nuts the Squirrel and decides his tail would make a nice snack, please take him away and give your dog something a little sturdier to chew on.
