Gor Pets Reef Octopus Dog Toy – Plush, Squeaks & Crinkles (63cm) – Blue / Purple / Pink

Gor Reef Daddy Octopus – 63cm, Blue, Purple and Pink

The Daddy Octopus is the 63cm size in the Gor Reef range, a big soft toy with eight long legs that a dog can grab, shake and carry about. Gor Pets build it from colourful faux fur and velour over a squidgy hollow fibre filling, so it is as much a thing to sleep against as a thing to throw.

What keeps dogs coming back to it is the noise. Gor Pets pack it with honks, squeaks, crinkles, scrumples and rattles, spread through the body and the legs rather than concentrated in one squeaker, so a different grab makes a different sound.

Performance & Benefits

• 63cm across the legs — long enough for a dog to shake and flap properly.
• Honks, squeaks, crinkles, scrumples and rattles built in at several points.
• Faux fur and soft velour over a hollow fibre filling, so it works as a comfort toy as well as a plaything.
• Eight legs give a dog plenty to take hold of, and make it easy for two dogs to share a tug.
• Machine washable, which matters on a toy that gets slept on.
• Comes in one multicoloured blue, purple and pink colourway.

Suitable For

• Medium and large dogs that carry and shake soft toys rather than destroy them.
• Dogs that want a comfort toy to sleep with as well as play with.
• Interactive play and gentle tug between dog and owner.
• Puppies, under supervision, as an early soft toy — Gor Pets list the range for dogs and puppies of all ages.
• Not a toy for a determined shredder. A hard chewer wants a rubber or rope toy, not a plush one.

How to Use

• Give it as a supervised play toy first, and only leave it with a dog once you know how they treat plush.
• Use the legs for gentle tug — they are the strongest handhold on the toy.
• Inspect it after every session for opened seams or a loosened squeaker.
• Machine wash it when it needs it, and let it dry right through before giving it back; a damp fibre filling goes sour.
• Retire it once the fabric is torn rather than repairing it.

Specification

• Size 63cm, the Daddy size in the Gor Reef octopus range.
• Colourway blue, purple and pink — a single multicoloured toy, not an assortment.
• Faux fur and velour outer with hollow fibre filling.
• Contains squeakers, honkers, crinkle and rattle elements.
• Machine washable. Gor Pets publish no wash temperature for this toy.
• The range runs Baby 25cm, Mommy 38cm, Daddy 63cm and Big Daddy 80cm.
• Gor Pets publish no fibre composition or safety-standard reference for this toy, so none is stated here.

Care & Caution

• This is a supervised toy. The squeakers, rattles and fibre filling can all be swallowed if a dog opens a seam.
• Take it away and dispose of it as soon as the fabric is torn or a noisemaker is exposed.
• Not suitable for dogs that strip and eat soft toys, and not a substitute for a chew.
• Do not leave it in a crate with an unattended dog.
• Dry it completely after washing — a damp filling grows mould inside where it cannot be seen.
