Dino is our three-year-old French Bulldog so he is still very much in his playful years. A little background on our fur baby. He is 34 pounds (he is a tall Frenchie) and his favorite games to play are tug-of-war and a game of chasing the tennis ball (by himself – he never willingly gives it up). He looks like he is playing soccer. He absolutely LOVES the toys from BarkBox and loves to try to tear them apart, which is why we felt Tearribles would be the perfect toy for him.
Because he loves tug-of-war and to tear apart his BarkBox toy I’ve had my eyes on a Terribles which is a toy that is designed to allow your dog to tear it apart.
Tearribles Review – Medium Toy
I decided for his third birthday, and while they were on sale, to purchase him the medium size Tearrible due to his size.

Real Tearrible Review
Dino always loves to get new toys. However, when I gave him the Tearrible he ran around with it for about a hot minute and then moved on. I was disappointed that he didn’t seem interested in it. However, later in the day, I found him playing with it again. I held down the Tearrible so he could see that he could tear off parts.
It wasn’t until I left for the day and came home to the below that I realized he really did get the toy.
I am happy to report that Dino loves his Tearribles toy. I find him playing with it often and am often hunting for the pieces to put it back together. There were some concerns at first when I saw that he seemed to be interested in trying to tear out the velcro from the toy. This in turn caused him to scratch the inside of his mouth just a little as I found a few spots of blood on the toy. However, once he seemed to realize that tearing it apart was the fun part he started to focus more on doing just that.
He has figured out how to tear the toy apart on his own, all six pieces the ears, arms, legs, and tail. I love that he is able to tear apart the toy without any stuffing coming out.
We have only had the toy for a month, but so far it is in good shape. I did notice that there is some threading coming off where the velcro is attached to the toy. I assume this is because Dino likes to try to tear off the velcro. I will try to update this Tearribles Review after we have had the toy longer to see what condition it is in.
Overall we highly recommend Tearribles for your dog if they enjoy tearing apart toys.
