Swingin' Safari Monkey Dog Toy Review: Fun for All Pups!

Multipet Swingin' Safari Monkey Dog Plush Toy Review

Every dog owner knows the thrill of finding that perfect toy – the one that captures their pup's attention, withstands a good play session, and maybe even becomes a cherished comfort item. Today, we're taking a closer look at a popular contender: the Multipet Swingin' Safari Monkey Dog Plush Toy. At a substantial 27 inches, this brown, soft-sided monkey promises hours of fun with its five strategically placed squeakers.

Why dog owners love it

The Multipet Swingin' Safari Monkey has earned a respectable 4.4-star rating from fellow dog parents, and it’s not hard to see why. For many, its sheer size is a major draw. Large dogs can enjoy a good shake-and-toss session, while smaller pups often love to drag it around, using it as a comfort object or a wrestling buddy. The multiple squeakers are another huge hit, keeping dogs engaged and entertained, especially if one or two stop working – there are always backups! Its cuddly, plush exterior makes it great for snuggling during naptime, and the long limbs are perfect for a game of tug or fetch across the room. It strikes a good balance between being durable enough for typical plush toy play, yet soft enough for gentle mouths.

Pros

• Multiple Squeakers for Extended Fun: With five squeakers distributed throughout the toy, your dog is almost guaranteed to find a squeaky spot, even if they're a determined 'squeaker killer'. This prolongs playtime and maintains their interest.
• Generous 27-inch Size: Perfect for a variety of play styles, from large dogs who love to carry and shake it, to smaller dogs who enjoy dragging a 'big' friend around. It's also great for cuddling!
• Soft and Cuddly Plush Material: The exterior is incredibly soft, making it an ideal comfort toy for dogs who like to snuggle with their plush pals after a lively play session.

Cons

• Not Indestructible for Heavy Chewers: While durable for a plush, extremely aggressive chewers may quickly де-stuff this monkey. If your dog's mission in life is to destroy squeaky toys, supervise playtime closely.
• Potential for Messy Play (Stuffing): As with any plush toy, determined chewers can eventually get to the stuffing. If you have a dog prone to 'eviscerating' their toys, be prepared for potential clean-up.

Best for

This toy is an excellent choice for dogs who love soft, squeaky toys and enjoy carrying, shaking, and light-to-moderate chewing. It’s particularly good for large dogs who appreciate a substantial toy or smaller dogs who enjoy wrestling with a big, cuddly friend. It's also a great option for owners looking for a fun, interactive toy that doubles as a snuggle buddy.
