My name is Heather and I work for a veterinary clinic in Dover, OH. I was a big fan of the [...] toys until my boss started purchasing the Premier products. I have three Labrador Retrievers and they love to chew. It was hard trying to find a toy they could play with that they didn't destroy. I purchased the Tug-a-Jug and the Waggle and was so surprised on how durable they are. I still have those toys from at least 3 years ago; they're still in great shape and my dogs just love them. Now I think I own every product you sell. I have been talking to our clients for some time now, telling them how wonderful your products are. We have even downloaded video of my dogs playing with them on our clinic's Facebook site. Thank you for making such a great product. I will always recommend them to my friends and clients.

I've been through many kinds of toys (most being destroyed by Freddy, my dog!). I first tried a Bouncy Bone. Freddy keeps busy with it and tonight I went back and purchased the Tug-a-Jug! Your toys are very well made and challenging for my dog. I will be buying many more of your products.

I just bought the Busy Buddy Bristle Bone for my new puppy and it is amazing! It has kept her entertained for the past 2 hours! Thank you for sparing my hands from her little needle teeth.

I wanted to let you know how much our dog loves Busy Buddy toys. We have a 2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog named Boone. He recieved a Bouncy Bone when he was 6 months old and it soon became his favorite toy. However, it didn't take long before Boone out grew the medium size bone, so I decided it was time to upgrade to the large size. While in line, I had two different people tell me how much their dogs loved the Bouncy Bone toy. [...] I decided to get another Busy Buddy toy to replace the destroyed toy and went with the Tug a Jug. [...] After a while of playing with him and the toy on carpet he got the hang of the Tug a Jug and loves the toy so much he brings it to us and sets it in our laps when it is empty.
It has been so much fun watching Boone try to figure out how the toys work and watching his progress. We have recommended these toys to all our friends and only hear great things from everyone who gets them. Just wanted to say thank you for making such great toys.

I bought my dog a Tug-a-Jug for Christmas, and it turned out to be the best dog toy I've ever bought - ranks even above [...]!
The Tug-a-Jug isn't just a toy (though my Lab thinks it is). We also use it as her food dish - we had been really worried about her eating habits - she attacked her meals with such gusto that food flew everywhere! We worried about her digestion since she ate so fast. Now we put the food in the Tug-a-Jug and she has to work at eating, which slows her down a lot. We are so happy to have found this toy - and you can be sure that I will look for Premier products whenever I want to buy one of our dogs a new toy!

I have searched for 3 1/2 years for the perfect toy for my dog. She is a 75lb Lab that chews everything, especially to get attention when I am busy around the house. The largest, thickest Bully Sticks made only take her 15 minutes to devour. A stuffed frozen KING SIZE [XXX] (full of calories which I am trying to avoid with my agility wanna be) takes only slightly longer.
I bought her a Bristle Bone for Christmas, but with all the preparations going on she was starving for my attention which I just cannot give her 24/7. I broke out the Bristle Bone thinking, "What the heck, she doesn't know Christmas Day from any other day!" That pup has been at it solid for more than 30 minutes and she is still going strong! The Gnawhide rings are still mostly intact.
Can it be that my search for the perfect toy is complete?!
Thank you!

My Labrador, Jake, eats through just about any toy. He has a [...] toy and ball - he hasn't killed these yet, and until a week ago were the only toys he was allowed to have. Last week we bought the Bouncy Bone and today I bought Jake the Chuckle. OMG! Wonderful products. So much more interactive than [...]. Jake loves toys that keep him working. So far he has been playing with that Chuckle for 4 hours. No kidding! He doesn't want the food inside - he's more interested in trying to kill that squeaker. Wonderful design!

My Miniature Schnauzer was given a Tug-a-Jug toy for her birthday in July. I can now say that she is obsessed with it! She will play with it for up to an hour at a time and wants to play with it every night. Thank you for a GREAT product! I look forward to trying more of your toys.

I would like to take the time to thank you for your products.I am confident in your products and recommend them to pet owners all the time. I work for a vet tech and I've also started my own dog and cat rescue group. These toys help us so much! We deal with mostly pit bulls and your toys are very tough. The dogs are entertained for hours. For a rescued dog, a lot of the time a simple toy is worth a million bucks! Thank you and keep up the excellent work!

My husband and I own a large 1-year-old St. Bernard. She is a lot to handle and the ultimate destroyer of toys! But there is one toy that has passed the test and outlasted all of her other toys: the Waggle. It is her all-time favorite toy and she hasn't put a dent in it, even with her mammoth jaws. We are very impressed by the quality of your toy and how it meets our needs, considering we live in an isolated community in the Northwest Territories of Canada. We do not have access to dog accessories here, as there are only two general stores in town and we are a fly-in-only community (no roads!). So, the next time we are able to come down south, we will be purchasing more of your products. Feel free to use this as a testimonial for the Waggle, as it has been proven to be the most durable toy for the strongest and largest of the dog breeds.

I just wanted to tell you that I love your products. I purchased your Funny Bone for my 7-year-old Airedale Terrier, Daisy. She absolutely loves it! When I get home from work, she's standing at the door with the Funny Bone in her mouth - ready to hand it to me to get the remaining treats out of it for her. What a great design team you must have. I tell all of my friends who have pets about your awesome toys for puppies and dogs! Keep up the great work!

I recently purchased a Bristle Bone for my dog Trudy. She is a pit/hound mix with very crooked teeth, which makes brushing hard and sometimes a little painful (for both of us). I gave her the Bristle Bone and she loved it. I don't know if it is the quality of the treats or the texture of the brush, but she chewed the heck out of it. She used her front teeth, her back teeth and maybe some teeth she doesn't even have! The results were obvious. We have already cleaned the toy twice and refilled the treats. This is her new favorite toy and my new favorite tool.

We have had dogs all our lives and we’ve been through hundreds, possibly thousands of toys. Squirrel Dude is by far the best toy we have ever bought. Jake, our standard Poodle, lives for his squirrel. You may know that standard Poodles are retrievers, water dogs, and chronic ‘mouthers’. They have to have physical mouth contact with you when they greet you so, as puppies, they are taught to greet you with a toy in their mouth. Jake’s medium Squirrel Dude is perfect for all his needs…greeting, retrieving, chewing, and playing in the pool. Even as tough as he can chew, Squirrel Dude has held up! Jake loves it, really loves it. It is a rare moment to see him walking around without his ‘dude’. We will buy several so he never, ever has to be without a Squirrel Dude. Thank you for this superb line of toys.

I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much our 2 Springer Spaniels love your Bouncy Bones. My wife has stocked up on the bones and the Gnawhide refills in case our local store stops carrying them.

I work in the animal welfare industry and have recently discovered the Tug-a-Jug. I brought one for my Jack Russell, Eddie, when we moved into an apartment to keep him busy after I left for work, and have since then been very enthusiastic about the toy. Eddie loves it, begging for it every morning…he can't wait for me to leave! I highly recommend the Tug-A-Jug to people who adopt dogs from the shelter where I work, and wanted to tell you how wonderful this product is.

I wanted to give you some happy feedback. I bought a Tug-a-Jug this evening for my dog, Nugget, a Puggle. It's the most hilarious thing I've ever seen. He's madly driven, whining weakly in exasperation as he VERY slowly extracts treats; he has been swatting it around the living room for 2 hours, utterly captivated. Usually at this time of night he is chewing on books or DVDs and getting yelled at. Not tonight! My wife and I are doubled over with laughter. What a brilliantly designed toy. Thank you so much for making this!

My sweet 14 year old Standard Dachshund, Mel, was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease about a year and a half ago. Her symptoms were the usual things but one day she stopped walking. Her front legs failed and she could only roll and push herself around using her back legs. It's not easy to go in a straight line that way, as you may imagine, so we were obliged to carry her around and place her where we thought she might be trying to go. One day I brought her a Busy Buddy Tug-a-Jug figuring at least she'd get some activity spinning around the room seeking treats. Well, in a short time Mel was up and hopping around and has taught herself to stand and walk -- all due to the physical and mental therapy afforded by going for the "Purple Thing!" She has a style I think is quite unique. And loud. Anyone who has called me on the phone while she is playing is familiar with your product, at least aurally. At this moment I am listening to Mel yell at her Purple Thing as she pushes it and pulls it and whacks it into furniture to free the imprisoned treats.

I am writing to tell you how THRILLED I am with your line of Busy Buddy products. They are excellent!! We have three large standard poodles and they LOVE your toys. I find that your toys do an awesome job of keeping them busy and challenged and provide great rewards. This is so important to me since they are home alone for several hours each weekday while we are at work/school. Thus far, the toys have proven to pass the durability test despite their intense use...and we have "gone through" many a "tough toy" in the first day or two.

Your product rocks! I have a 9 month old Olde English Bulldog named Thor and he is a strong chewer. We've blown through many expensive toys to only find them shredded in hours. He is alone during the day and I needed toys that would keep him out of trouble and entertained. Being a puppy, he gets bored quickly. Even without the treat rings on the Bouncy Bone he drags this thing around chews on it. With the rings on it, it's crazy. Bottom line I wanted to say thank you for creating such a great product. You guys are a life saver!
- Christy F.
I just wanted to offer my sincerest thanks for your products! Coco is my year old Papillon and believe it or not, until we found the Busy Buddy line, there wasn't any dog toy that she could not destroy. She has had both your Bouncy Bone and Tug-a-Jug for over 2 months now and she still enjoys them every single day. She has yet to be able to do any harm to either and I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to be able to give her something I am confident she can chew to her heart's content with worrying about her choking on it.
- Angela
What can I say? The Chuckle is the only toy Sunshine hasn't destroyed in the year I have had her. It's her favorite toy and she's quite the heavy chewer! First thing she does when she wakes up is head straight for her toy.
- Lisette Q.
I want to let you know that the Busy Buddy toys are one of the few products we have found that can hold up to our Australian Shepard Mix puppy who is now 1 1/2 years old. The smart design of your toys engages her sharper than average mind and her sharper than average teeth. I recommend these products to all of my dog loving friends. Please keep up the good work!
- Marsha L.
The Bouncy Bone is absolutely the BEST toy to keep a one year old Boston Terrier occupied. Murphy is a very “busy” little guy. He is so smart and he can find things to do on his own, which isn't always a good thing! I learned about Busy Buddy from a friend and off I went to my favorite pet shop and bought one, plus TWO packs of the rawhide replacements. This is ONE fabulous toy that Murphy loves with or without the rawhide treats. Thank you!
- Bobbie S.
I bought 2 Tug a Jugs for my dogs. My Puggle destroys every toy I ever give her, but she can't destroy this one - it's fantastic! Our other dog, a total mutt hasn't figured out yet how to get the food out of the jug, but both dogs LOVE this toy! I can't imagine life without it - it keeps the puggle from getting into trouble most of the times! I can't wait to try your other dog toys.
- Dena D.
As you are no doubt aware, Pit Bulls are a strong jawed breed and Beagles are obsessive. This combination gave us a dog that can destroy most toys in minutes. The Hyper Stick lasted less than 2 minutes on Christmas morning. Kongs usually last about a month or so. I purchased a Squirrel Dude from our vet a year and a half ago, and it just now needs replacing. She takes it to bed with her and chews it for half an hour EVERY night. She meets guests at the door with the Squirrel Dude in her mouth, showing them her toy. This is by far the toughest, most favored toy in the house. The price makes it even more amazing.
Thanks for making a chew toy that can handle a real chewer.
- Maggie R.
I have to thank you for your excellent products. We have a 5 month old Basenji puppy. She goes through soft stuffed toys in about 20 minutes. We did some research online and found the Busy Buddy line of toys. The first one we tried was the Bouncy Bone. Mezza will chew on it for hours - I'm not exaggerating. We also purchased the Tug-a-Jug and have really enjoyed watching her try to figure it out. She's only had it for a day, but so far it's kept her busy for a few hours. Thank you so much for your products, we'd still be sitting in a sea of fuzz without them.
- Emily L.
I have one Greyhound, and 2 Italian Greyhounds. I bought Luc a Bouncy Bone when we were at the vet a couple of weeks ago. He loved it from the start, but I thought that the excitement may wear off, like it normally does with new toys. It's been 2 weeks, and that Bone does not leave his sight. It is definitely his favorite toy. Thanks so much for a great product!
- Laura H.
There are very few toys that can last with Foreman - most don't even make it an hour - but the Chuckle lasts at least 4 months. Every morning he barks at me to let me know he wants his bone filled. Then I say "Go get your bone!" He will run all over the house until he finds it and then bring it to me. Great product!
- Mary C.
My Kerry Blue Terrier is a very active dog; he is constantly looking around for things to do. When I got the Tug-A-Jug, he initially was leery of it, but after a while he was kicking it and playing with the rope. He is consumed by it. He did figure out to get the treats by pulling the rope and rolling the jug around. All in all, this is a very good and engaging toy. Guinness is very happy. Thanks again for a wonderful product!
- Enchie
I have a 100 lb Lab, Duke, and a 60 lb Golden Retriever, Daisy May, who love the Busy Buddy toys. We have the Football, Waggle, and Chuckle. Giving them a Busy Buddy toy before we go to work has decreased the amount of backyard landscaping they do when we are gone! Even Kody, our 32 lb cat, likes the Buddy Berries treats. So thank you for your wonderful toys!
- Chris J.
I recently purchased a Large Busy Buddy Squirrel Dude for our dogs at PetSmart. I didn't have much faith that it would last long since our dogs are very aggressive chewers. Ropes, chew toys, and other puzzle feeders are just destroyed. We have two Pit Bull Terriers and a Golden Retriever; all three of them are incredible chewers. The Squirrel Dude has lasted longer than 2 weeks at our house. I am amazed that it lasted this long, they have played with it constantly. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate having some products to choose from that I know will give our dogs some enrichment and last longer than 30 minutes. My husband and I will certainly be purchasing more of your products in the future. Thanks for making challenging and tough dog toys.
