Tearribles

Dogs have done such a wonderful job adapting to living with us that it's easy to forget they have different needs and wants from us. They learn our rules, our language, our schedules...But something magical happens when we allow ourselves to experience the world from our dog's perspective.

Here at Tearribles, it is our mission to give every dog lover the opportunity to experience the wholesome joy of interactive playtime with their dogs, and to allow dogs to exercise their natural behaviors in a happy, safe environment.

What are Tearribles?

Tearribles are the first line of innovative dog toys that cater to dogs' prey instincts. They are interactive toys that your dog can "tear apart", and you can put right back together in seconds.

Why Tearribles?

The problem dog owners face is that an average plush toy usually meets its demise within minutes (or hours at best) of getting into the paws of their eager, happy dog. This creates two problems:

1. At an average price of £5-£15 per toy, this play style ends up costing an average dog parent hundreds of dollars in dog toys every year.

2. Dogs end up chewing mauled remains of plush toys from boredom which poses a risk of intestinal obstruction, or don’t end up playing enough because their toys are thrown away after one play.

What happens next is one of the main reasons shelters are filled with dogs.

Have you ever wondered how some dogs are perfectly happy, calm, and well behaved, while others destroy couches, develop obsessive behaviors, and become unmanageable? The reason is very simple: They are bored and frustrated. Providing your dog with opportunities to do what they enjoy is as important to their health and wellbeing as providing them with proper food and healthcare.

Depriving your dog of play time results in the same exact outcome as in humans- they become bored, unhappy, anxious, disruptive, and destructive.

This is where Tearribles come into play.

The unique pocket design of Tearribles allows your dog to experience the satisfaction of “killing” their prey without actually destroying the toy. Aside from allowing them to exercise their natural instincts, playing with Tearribles has many benefits: it helps build their confidence, improve their wellbeing, and provides you and your dog with a fun way to build and strengthen your bond.

So good for me. All his limbs rip out when we play tug and then go straight back inside. Best toy ever. I even play “hide and seek” with mum using his body parts. I was super puffed out after playing 😀🥳🤠

Favorite “Aunt”

Bought this for my sister's rescue pit mix who destroys everything. Three weeks later she texted me asking where I got it because Luna was still playing with it daily and seemed so much calmer. I've now bought Tearribles for 5 different dogs in my family - I'm officially the favorite “aunt!” The dogs are obsessed and the humans are grateful.

Amazing toy

Our lab was chewing furniture, shoes, basically anything as soon as we turned our backs. We got the XL Tearribles, and within days his destructiveness was channeled into “destroying” this toy instead. He methodically pulls it apart, or shakes the toy until the pieces start flying around. I put it back together for a few rounds. It's like he finally has a job.

The Converted Skeptic

I was honestly skeptical about spending this much on a plush dog toy, but my Shepherd mix has been obsessed with his Medium Tearribles for 8 months now. EIGHT MONTHS! Usually toys last about 10 minutes in our house. He carries it around, 'kills' it daily, and I just reattach the parts. These are the only toys he plays with, and he is actually calmer after his “hunting” sessions. Worth every penny.

I’m impressed

I was hesitant about these because of the “small” parts. After reading the reviews I gave them a shot. The XL is very big and has been a hit with my girl. If you’re on the fence, you can stop worrying because these guys thought about everything. Great toy.

Great Customer Service

We’re new dog owners and got these for our pup. He chewed through the tail in a few days, and when we wrote to the company, they absolutely blew us away! Not only did they send us a replacement, but they gave us invaluable guidance in regard to playtime & dog toys that has been such a godsend for us. These guys really know dogs and care about their well-being. The toys are cute and very well made. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Very happy

I was hesitant to try it because I thought it would teach him to destroy everything. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Playing with Tearribles has been such a source of happiness for both of us, and as the company explains, it’s a natural instinct for dogs, which makes sense since dogs destroy all plush toys. I can see it on his face that he’s doing something very fulfilling when he tears it apart. And he hasn’t tried to destroy anything else- if anything he just thinks the other toys are boring now. Thank you for making such a great toy.
