So, the other day I decided my furry friend needed a new plaything, something to keep him busy while I’m stuck at my computer working. I figured, why not try one of those squeaky toys? They seem to get a kick out of ’em. After a bit of browsing online, I stumbled upon this platypus thing. Looked kinda quirky, so I thought, “What the heck, let’s give it a shot.”

I placed the order, and it arrived pretty quick, gotta say. First impression? It’s definitely… unique looking. This platypus was bright green, kinda goofy, with this long, flat bill and beady little eyes. It was soft, though, made of some plush material that felt pretty durable. I tossed it over to my dog, and he went nuts for it! Started chewing and shaking it like crazy.
The Squeak Test
- This thing’s got a squeaker inside, and let me tell you, it’s LOUD. My dog seemed to love it, though. Every time he’d chomp down, it’d let out this high-pitched squeak that made him even more excited. I guess it’s like their version of a squeaky toy.
We played a bit of fetch with it, too. It’s not exactly aerodynamic, being a stuffed platypus and all, but it flew well enough. He’d run after it, grab it, and bring it back all proud, tail wagging like mad. It was pretty entertaining to watch, I gotta admit.
Durability Check
Now, my dog’s a bit of a chewer, so I was curious to see how long this platypus would last. Some toys he destroys in minutes, but this one held up surprisingly well. He’d gnaw on it, tug at it, and even try to rip it apart, but it stayed in one piece. I was impressed, it didn’t rip at all!
Cleaning Up
- After a few days of intense play, the platypus was starting to look a bit… well-loved. It was covered in slobber and a bit of dirt.
- Luckily, it was easy enough to clean. I just tossed it in the washing machine, and it came out looking good as new. No damage to the squeaker, either, which was a plus.
All in all, I’d say this platypus toy was a win. It kept my dog entertained, it was durable, and it was easy to clean. Plus, it was just fun to watch him play with such a goofy-looking thing. If you’re looking for a new toy for your furry pal, I’d definitely recommend giving this quirky little platypus a try. You might be surprised at how much they love it!
