Today’s post takes a closer look at a dog toy recently purchased from a specialty pet boutique in Utah. Four Muddy Paws is a well-known gourmet pet store that carries premium dog food, treats, and toys. The shop also features a full-service pet salon along with a convenient do-it-yourself dog wash station. While many of their items fall on the higher end of the price spectrum, the toy reviewed here comes with a bold promise: it claims to be 100% guaranteed. To put that claim to the test, we introduced it to a determined four-year-old Border Collie mix named Truman.
Truman lives a very comfortable life and is no stranger to being spoiled. Every couple of weeks, he visits a local Utah grooming salon for nail trims and light grooming, and he almost always comes home sporting a fresh bandana. His diet sits somewhere between budget-friendly and indulgent—he eats Pedigree as his primary food, along with the occasional table scrap when he manages to charm the family.
The toy chosen for Truman is the Orbee-Tuff Bone in an extra-small size, finished in a bright green color. It’s produced by Planet Dog, a company founded in 1997 that promotes environmentally responsible manufacturing and animal-friendly values. According to the product packaging, Planet Dog donates a portion of its proceeds to support canine service programs. The tags are printed on responsibly sourced cardboard, reinforcing the brand’s eco-conscious mission. The Orbee-Tuff Bone was priced at $7.99, making it a reasonable option for dog owners who want quality without overspending. While this was the smallest size available in the store, larger versions were also offered for bigger dogs at higher price points.
When Truman first received the Orbee-Tuff Bone, his reaction was a mix of curiosity and mild disappointment. He quickly realized it wasn’t an actual bone—his clear favorite—and initially carried it around the house before setting it aside. That said, the toy wasn’t completely ignored. When Truman does engage with it, he tends to toss it into the air, chase it across the room, or knock it off the couch and pounce after it. While it’s not his go-to toy, it does spark occasional bursts of play.
Overall Review:
Durability: 5 paws up. The Orbee-Tuff Bone remains fully intact, even after repeated chewing and tossing.
Entertainment Value: 3 paws up. While it doesn’t hold Truman’s attention for long stretches, he will happily interact with it during active play.
Price: 3 paws up. The cost feels fair, especially considering the durability and quality of materials used.
