I wasn&#8217;t sure what I wanted to order, so I just joined their dog toy of the month club and Skeeter&#8217;s received several toys from their club since we joined. <\/p>\n<p>Most of the toys didn&#8217;t stand up to Skeeter but not many toys do, so I don&#8217;t hold that against DoggyLoot. What I do particularly appreciate is the fact that when they sent emails to their customers telling us that we had a $5 credit to use, when we really didn&#8217;t, they made good on that email and gave everyone the $5. That&#8217;s the kind of customer service that seems to be going out of style. <\/p>\n<p>If you want to try <a href=\"https:\/\/doggyloot.com\/invite\/35b5a45c\">DoggyLoot and you haven&#8217;t joined, this link has my affiliate code<\/a> attached to it. (If you join using my link, you get a $5 credit right off the bat &#8212; if you order, I&#8217;ll get a $10 credit.)  If you don&#8217;t want to join, it won&#8217;t hurt my feelings. If you want to join but you don&#8217;t want to click my link, it won&#8217;t hurt my feelings either. <\/p>\n<p>Now, onto the toys that are standing up to the Skeeter test:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetdog.com\/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=96638500\">Orbee-Tuff Glow Bone<\/a> &#8212; we got this one at the Pet Expo. She likes it and she hasn&#8217;t (knock on wood) come close to destroying it. I was surprised by how well it&#8217;s held up. <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zigoopets.com\/shop\/crinkits-original-pink\/\">Crinkist<\/a> &#8212; another toys we got at the Pet Expo. After chewing up a few different water bottle toys, this one is amazing. It&#8217;s a little tough to get the bottle into (use soap!) but once it&#8217;s in there, it stays until she&#8217;s chewed the heck out of it. She&#8217;s been through four bottles and the toy\/holder is no worse for ware. That&#8217;s amazing!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.petsupplybeast.com\/Sticky-Bone-75-60052.htm\">Sticky Bone<\/a> &#8212; we bought this at Pet Supplies Plus. Total impulse purchase that I picked up because the material is similar to that of the Orbee-Tuff Glow Bone and I was interested in what would happen if she had a toy that sticks to the floor\/wall. Well&#8230; it doesn&#8217;t stick very well, so that&#8217;s kind of a bust. (I tested one in the store and it worked great &#8212; I&#8217;m guessing I didn&#8217;t buy the one I tested, sigh.) But, she carries it around and chews on it like she chews on everything, and it&#8217;s holding up really well though we haven&#8217;t stuck any toys into the crevices&#8230; <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/photo1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/photo1-e1366744918671-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"photo(1)\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5210\" \/><\/a>This was a $5 toy that we bought at Pet Supplies Plus. I figured it would be destroyed in a second, particularly after I pulled the tag off the top and exposed some stuffing. She&#8217;s a maniac for stuffing. But &#8212; nope, it&#8217;s in great shape and she loves this darn toy. Soft rubber, a lot like the Orbee-Tuff and the but not exactly the same. It&#8217;s softer and I really can&#8217;t believe she hasn&#8217;t destroyed it yet. I should have saved the tag but I really never thought it would last more than a couple of hours, max!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/photo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/flamingohouse.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/photo-e1366744961596-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"photo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5211\" \/><\/a>This one came from DoggyLoot. I didn&#8217;t have a lot of hope for it but she had it almost a month before she started chewing pieces off of it. Though she has started chewing pieces off it it, it&#8217;s still holding up well&#8230; normally once she gets the first piece off, it&#8217;s just a matter of minutes before she&#8217;s shredded the toy into tiny bits. Not this one.
