Very nice toys
Very nice toys. However, the whale has a weak point at the joint on the top of the head

Hi Alexander,
Thanks a lot for your kind review! We're so glad you're enjoying the toys 🐋
And thank you as well for pointing out the weak spot on the whale — it's super helpful for us to know where we can improve. We're always working on making each design better, and your feedback really helps.
Thanks again for your support 🧡

So far very pleased
So far very pleased. Paddington loves it. It’s really soft and most importantly after several weeks of constant playing it still has its stuffing inside with no holes despite being chewed. Will definitely get another one.

We’re so happy to hear that Paddington is loving his toy — and even happier that it’s holding up so well after all those play sessions! 🐾🎉

7.5 out of 10
I ordered this product looking for a toy that would challenge my dog’s jaws (he’s a mixed Malinois).
While I can say that this toy faired a lot better than others, indestructible it is not.
It took him less than two hours to rip it (not too much). It did present a challenge to him and made him frustrated that he couldn’t rip it 😅.

Hi Gil,
Thanks so much for your feedback! We’re really glad to hear that the toy gave your Malinois mix a bit of a challenge — even if he still managed to do some damage in the end 😅
We never claim the toys are indestructible (we know some dogs are little shredding machines!), but it’s great to know ours held up better than others. Thanks again for giving us a try — and for making us smile with your message!

Though there was a long wait for the toy to arrive I was delighted when it did but the team had kept in-touch to let me know when to expect it.
My dog loved it straight away, carried it around with him everywhere, used it as a pillow to rest his head on in his bed & spent a lot of time chewing at it.
As the days passed I began to think ‘this is great, finally a toy that he can’t destroy’. Sadly, this was not to be, much as he loved his elephant after just one week he ripped it open, out came the stuffing & that was it - one soggy piece of cloth.
However, I must stress that disappointing though this is it is the longest such a toy has ever lasted him, usually 5 to 10 minutes is as long as they last

Hi there,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review — we’re really happy to hear that your pup adored his elephant right from the start 🐘💛 Using it as a pillow? That melts our hearts!
Even though it didn’t last forever, we’re glad it held up longer than most toys. Some dogs are truly next-level chewers, and we're working hard to keep improving our designs to meet their challenge!
Thanks again for your kind words and for giving Cheeky a try — it means a lot!

Very strong material
Max is a strong chewer (yes, my dog). He's a mini Bernedoodle. He loves plush toys but they don't last very long. He mercilessly destroys them leaving stuffing and an empty shell nearby as a reminder of his heritage.
I decided to back Cheeky's campaign based on the description of the material and the education and experience of the developers.
I had ordered the koala and when it arrived I gave it to Max sat back to see what happens.
Rather than becoming relegated to the team of quick kills and destruction it became a chewing project. The white fur on the ears was the first to be pulled off. While the ears have holes in them they are still intact. He made headway on one of the feet and has begun adding stuffing to his past kills. The leg shell and stuffing is still intact as well as the face and body. It's an impressive material.
It has become Max's favorite to either greet us with or to sit down for a chewing session. Cudos to Cheeky for developing this material. I'm looking forward to the availability of future plush toys from Cheeky including an 18 inch monkey with long arms and legs. Max would be in bliss.

Hi Neal,
It’s so lovely to hear from you again — thank you for taking the time to leave this review, it truly made our day! 🧡
We’re thrilled to hear that Max is still loving his koala and that it’s holding its own in his legendary chewing sessions! The way you describe his “chewing projects” always makes us smile — and we’re honored that our toy made it into his personal collection of favorites.
And yes… the idea of an 18-inch monkey with long arms and legs is officially on our list! We can already picture Max proudly carrying it around.
Thanks again for your support and for sharing Max’s adventures with us — give him a big scratch behind the ears from the whole team!

10 Minutes Toy
After a long wait, the product finally arrived. Unfortunately, our Rottweiler mix chewed through the fabric and ripped out the inside in about 10 minutes. Not totally unexpected, but still disappointing. So if you have a dog that is eager to chew and nibble, it is better to buy a natural rubber toy.
In any case, thanks Cheeky for your efforts, even if they were not crowned with success.

Hi Holger,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear that the toy didn’t hold up as expected, especially after such a long wait. We understand how disappointing that must be, especially with a strong chewer like your Rottweiler mix.
Our toys are designed to be more durable than standard plush, but we know that some dogs, especially eager chewers, can still damage them quickly. We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we’ll definitely take it into account as we continue to improve our products.
If you ever have any more thoughts or feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Thanks again for your support, and we hope you find the perfect toy for your pup.

He loves the Cheeky Whale!My dog quickly took to his new toy
My dog quickly took to his new toy! He is a search dog, and will tug anything in the field, showing little to no preference for his reward toys, which I keep separate.
However, he is much more selective of his toys at home, and takes his time to evaluate them, their smell and feel. Some toys, he rejects entirely. But he took to his Cheeky whale right away, a rarity.
He is carrying the Cherky Whale around and asking to play right away. The size is good for a 103 lb dog, but can also serve much smaller dogs, as it is not oversized. So, I think the materials, odor, and feel of the toy is spot on! It has the AkioYodasa (yes, that is my dog's name!) seal of approval!

It means a lot to us to know that a search dog like him, with such a thoughtful approach to his home toys, connected with ours so quickly. We're also glad to hear the size and feel were just right — we put a lot of care into those details, so your feedback really means the world.

My dachshund loves it
My dachshund loves it. I got the elephant w/o the squeaker. She has part of one ear tore loose where it attaches to the body after about an hour. Maybe it was a manufacturing issue. The rest of toy seems pretty durable. I'm glad we got it.

Playa's elephant toy has arrived. The material feels smooth and strong. The squeeker is an added bonus. Playa immediately liked her new toy and has played with it though not chewed or ripped on it yet. The material feels like the material of my infinity sponge.

I received the item in one piece but it didn't stay that way long
I received the item in one piece and was happy with the shipping. I was excited to try a toy that would be hard for my greyhound to destroy. It lasted five days before he tore a fin of the whale. I've sewn it back in place, so he still has it, but am disappointed that he managed to destroy it.

We’re really sorry to hear that the whale didn’t hold up as long as you’d hoped. While we design our toys to be tougher than standard ones, we understand that greyhounds can be especially determined! We really appreciate you sewing the fin back on, but we do understand your disappointment.
Your feedback helps us continue to improve, so thank you for sharing it. We hope the toy can still bring your pup some joy, and we’ll keep working hard on durability for future designs.

Cheeky but tough elephant
Our labradoodle Penny loves her Cheeky Elephant toy. She has played with it a lot over the last 2 weeks and so far so good. We have played tug of war with it and there has been none of the tell tale cracks of stitching or ripping sounds. The material is different to normal, slightly shiny. Usually Penny's toys are tearing by now but this one seems to be tougher.

It’s great to know the toy is holding up well after two weeks of serious play — especially tug of war! We spent a lot of time selecting that slightly shiny material to make it tougher than standard plush, so it means a lot to hear that it’s paying off.

This company is conning people
This company is conning people. Offered a tough chew toy on Kickstarter with their knowledge of 'ballistic materials' then sent everyone toys which seemed as though they'd been bought from Temu for pennies which lasted a couple of minutes before being ripped open. Do not buy from this company as they will not give you the product you expect

Hi,
We’re really sorry to read your review — we completely understand the frustration when a product doesn’t meet your expectations.
That said, we want to be clear: we’re not here to “con” anyone. We’re a small, independent team that launched on Kickstarter with complete transparency, including detailed information about the materials we use and the level of durability we aim for.
While we never claimed our toys were indestructible, we did design them to be tougher than the average plush toy — and they’ve held up well for many dogs. That said, every dog plays differently, and sadly, no toy will work for 100% of them.
If you’d like to discuss this further or if we can assist in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at customerservice@cheeky-dogs.com. We’d be happy to help!

Buyer beware, this isn't the indestructible dog toy you're looking for
Backed through Kickstarter, product arrived and lasted 10 minutes before our dog had all the stuffing over the floor, This company is preying on our endless search for an indestructible dog toy. Take it from me, save your money, this is definitely not it, this comes across as more of a get rich scheme for the company

Hi Pete,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're really sorry to hear that the toy didn’t last long with your pup — we know how frustrating that can be.
As we’ve already discussed via email, we’ve done our best to address your concerns directly. While we never claim our toys are indestructible (because no dog toy truly is), we do put a huge amount of work into making them significantly tougher than most options on the market.
We understand that every dog plays differently, and sadly, no single toy works for 100% of dogs — but we’re constantly improving thanks to feedback like yours.
We're a small team genuinely passionate about building better, longer-lasting toys — definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme. But we’re truly sorry this one didn’t work out for you.
