| Unsatisfied Customer of Petstages toy Hello YT, I have to share my horrible experience with a Petstages toy. I went to Petsmart to use the petsmart coupon that was on YT(thank you) and decided to give Petstages mini Toss ring a try. Here is a picture of it Petstages - Developmental Toys for Dogs - Mini -Toss Ring.. Mimi loved the toy and played with it, next day she was playing with it when i heard her chewing on something. I turned around and saw a small plastic part came out of the little ball on the end where the rattling noise comes from. Mimi was chewing on the little piece, she could have choked on it!! I wrote to Petstages and for me it was a waste of money and Mimi could have choked on this!!!

| Oh no! This toy is no good for even mild chewers!! My Mimi chewed out the plastic rattle noise making thing too when she was a pup. I don't know why they sell this...you know all the pups are teething & are going to rip it up in less than 30 min.

| I have this same toy and only use it to play fetch with Cassi. Once she's done playing fetch, then the toy goes back to her toy bin with all ther other toys. We've gone through 2 of these already since this is one of her favorite toy. Thank goodness your furbaby didn't choke. Thanks for the warning.

| It looks like a baby toy, lol--glad your baby is okay...I bet the company responds to you by saying that on the label/tag that your pet is suppose to be supervised while playing with it. My youngest yorkie thinks it's great to rip the fluff out of her toys--and when you yell, she looks as if to say, "what??" |

| Yep! had the very same toy for Remy and she had the rattle torn out of it the first day. I don't think the company tests their toys for safety or durability Eileen |

| They make another little soft toss ring toy that has crinkle sound in it (probably just some cellophane) but my dogs all love those sounds. Mine have yet to rip it open like they always do the plastic squeaker toys. Might give it a try. Amazon.com: Pet Stages Soft Toss Ring: Kitchen &... All of the puppies from last litter loved this toy! It is still one of Rocky's favorites.

| I have a couple of Petstages toys and so far, no issues. But I will definitely keep my eyes open while Lucas is using them now! Thanks for the info!

| Chase (one of the dogs I pet sit for) had one of those toys. It got chewed in one day. Then, I bought a different one for Scruffs and it was also chewed apart in one day. They seem really high quality in the store..
