Premier Pet Products Review - Part One

This is only going to be a partial review of Premier dog toys that were mailed to me. More or less a description of each item. Part two will be in a few days after the dogs have had time to check out & abuse... I mean, play with the toys. Part one - human review, part two - canine review.

How these toys were mailed to me started a few weeks ago. A fellow sorority sister works for Premier & posted a favor on Facebook. I just happened to be stalking Facebook at that time & could answer her question. A review for one of their cat products was done in the February issue of Martha Stewart. She needed to know the page number it was on. I did one better - emailed her a scanned copy of the review. Hey, I was overly pregnant & had no motivation or energy at that time to do anything I needed to get done. She insisted on sending me something in return for helping her out. I honestly didn't expect anything in return. It got me out of the chair I was glued to & into another chair in the next room, lol. A few days later a box arrived. A box FULL of dog toys. I only thought maybe one toy would come. Nope, this was a box full of awesome looking toys for my monsters to enjoy!! So onto what was in the box...

Tennis Tug
The Tennis Tug is great for either 2 dogs or a dog & his/her owner to play tug-a-war. Inside the yellow tag are "The Rules of Tug" by Dr. Ian Dunbar. Suggestions on what your dog should know/understand before playing (like "off" & "drop it" & boundaries).

Pogo Plush Original & Raccoon
This should be interesting. Raider likes to take out the squeakers out of every.single.toy he gets. Fuzz EVERY WHERE & a dead squeaker... ugh!! What's nice is that there is a bouncy frame inside the toy & the squeaker is inside that. No stuffing!! YAY! Now will he figure out how to remove the squeaker?? The bouncy frame also allows for the toy to bounce (hence "bouncy"). All the Pogo Plush toys are machine washable.

Busy Buddy Treat Holding Bouncy Bone & treat refills
This toy looks pretty cool. You have the purple bouncy ball in the center sandwiched by rawhide treats & capped off with bone ends. I'm should time how quickly it takes my dogs to inhale the treats.

Here is a picture of the lucky canine testers of this review. They put themselves to bed for the night when I pulled out the toys. Raider is a 4.5 year old reverse brindle Boxer & Sampson is a 7.5 year old brindle Boxer.
