Coleman Supersized Bear Trophy Dog Toy

Black Fur Everywhere!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is an excellent dog toy that proved it can stand up to two golden retrievers that try to love all of their toys to death. BUT, it had one huge problem. That bear shed clumps of black ‘fur’ everywhere! It shed worse than my dogs do!! The bear left a trail of black everywhere The Boys went with it, and it wasn’t unusual to find ‘bear fur’ sticking out of the corners of their mouths as well. I have to admit, my dogs adored the toy a lot more than I did! The nice thing is that there are other brands of unstuffed toys on the market now, and they don’t shed at all. We have an unstuffed fox that has been around for months and is as good as new with the occasional ‘bath’ in the washer and dryer. An added note, this bear isn’t as big as I thought it would be, price considered. The Fox we have was half that price and has lasted twice as long.

Grommitt’s favorite toy
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Grommitt is my 3 year old Golden Retriever and he has mangled 3 of these. I was purchasing them at Publix Supermarkets for $10.99 and they have since discontinued these. He played with it, slept with it, hugged it, took it inside, outside, to the groomers and to play dates. It was his F A V O R I T E toy.

I would highly recommend this toy. even though he went through 3 of them, it is durable and fun… He misses his and I need to get him another one.

Big Bear Dog Toy

This Floppy Bear dog toy is the second of it’s kind to be the most popular toy in my household. My Whippet spent many hours racing happily through the house and into the yard with it dangling from his mouth. When a new Greyhound arrived and claimed the first as her own I quickly ordered a second one and life is even more fun with two of these sturdy well-made toys with a squeaker in every paw and it’s head. If Maddie and Libby had thumbs they’d give both give the Bear a “Thumbs Up”.

I have a Lab, and she just loves this bear. I purchased it 5 months ago. She has been able to remove all of the squeakers by about a month ago, but it only has a small hole in the middle of the back. It is in the seam, so 2 minutes with a needle & thread, and it will be fixed. Other than “Ball”, (what can I say, she is a Lab) it is her favorite toy. We play tug of war daily, and she takes Bear to bed with her. I will purchase another to put away.

Cute toy lasted about 24 hours
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
The only reason I am reviewing this is because in the product description it states GREAT for tug of war & chewing. Right……..My dog, who is an Aussie, had the head tore from the body in about 24 hours total. This was by his own doing & not by us playing tug of war. I can say that the squeakers were individually sewn in with their own mesh pockets. Which, is a nice thought when my dog is destroying it at a moment’s notice. Save your money & look for something else. I have had better luck with thick vinyl toys that squeak than soft toys.

Best dog toy ever!

The Coleman bear (we call it “Flat Bear”) has been our Miniature Schnauzer’s favorite toy since he was a puppy. He can lay on it, shake it, drag it around like he just captured it or use it in a light game of tug-of-war. Because it is not stuffed in the body, only the head, he doesn’t relentlessly work on it to get a seam open like he does with other stuffed toys. As a result, the bears outlast every other toy he has ever had. The bears are incredibly tough and have five squeakers! How much do we like this toy? When his first one finally wore out, I shopped every local store I could think of, only to find not one Coleman Bear available. So, I went online and found that I could order through Amazon. So now I make sure I keep a spare “Flat Bear” tucked away in case I need to order a new one. I wouldn’t want our baby to go a single day without his bear!

Poor choice

Was not as expected. I have a chihuahua. He will eat this in 5 minutes. I am returning this item. It is too small and will tear up too fast. For $15.00, it will not last.

My Golden Retriever loves her Bear!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have a year old golden retriever who can destroy a toy in no time. When she was 12 weeks old she picked a bear from my daughters room and would suck on its nose almost like she was nursing. She had this bear for at least six months before she started tearing it apart in a manic frenzy. I tried buying her other

bears similar to the one she destroyed but was never able to come close enough.

Well on a shopping expedition I saw the Coleman trophy bear and checked out its nose, saw it had no stuffing (big plus) and was only $12.00 I bought it for her.I

put it in her crate that night and she kind of gave it a once over and really didn’t bother with it. It took a few days and she was carrying it around in her

mouth and would just leave it. She now has the bear with her all the time. I have to pry it out of her mouth when she goes outside. She has not tried to rip it apart or get the squeaker out. She lies down with and sucks on its nose and

is as content as any puppy you ever wanted to see. I will definitely be buying

a stash of these bears to be ready when that desire to shred the one she now has

hits her. These bears are great, they don’t make any mess and you can find them at reasonable prices. I highly recommend this dog toy.

Grrrrreat toy!

I initially ordered this based on reviews and a friends recommendation. My 9 week old puppy loves to chew it and tromp around the house with it…(reaally cute to see this little tiny puppy drag a toy bigger then he is around the house!)

I often catch him asleep on it as well. This was a perfect toy for him. Thank you to everyone who reviewed this item!!! The squeakers in all paws and in the head are an added bonus.

Great Toy.

I purchased this for my 10yr old Dalmatian who has a talent for destroying his soft toys but I had great hopes that this bear would survive due to the fact that there are not many protruding “limbs or tails” that he can destroy.

I find it an advantage that it is not fill of stuffing as this seems to quell the desire to chew it open.

So far it has lived up to all my expectations. It is a super toy that is very soft and easy to play with. He has great fun carrying it around trying not to trip himself up and it seems to be rating quite high up on his peeking order of toys.

It is very well made and seems very robust and I think will last for a long time.

Overall I would not hesitate in purchasing more of this range.

Six months, three dogs, still great

I got the Coleman Buffalo toy for my three dogs (shepherd, basset hound puppy, basenji) six good months ago. Other toys sometimes last a week; the Buffalo takes a lot of abuse and is still intact.

Major pros: almost no stuffing, which means almost nothing blowing all over the house. Their other toys get “gutted” right away, but this toy spares us that cleanup. The stitching is tight too — it actually holds up better than a rope toy.

Con: I appreciate the realistic coloring of all the animal toys, but I’ve noticed that my pets are drawn to other, more brightly colored toys first. Some studies suggest that dogs can see blue & yellow; mine sure seem to. So it’d be great for Coleman to come out with “trophy” toys in other colors. In the meantime, I’m buying the bear next.

ok
