These are FANTASTIC for my power chewer
I missed out on the kickstarter, so I was happy to find your website! I got one of each toy for my 2 dogs. Tucker, my Great Dane, doesn't honestly play with toys too much. But Georgie, my pittie, is a power chewer, and he absolutely loves stuffies with squeakers. He can have a toy torn open and the squeaker removed and destroyed in under an hour. But not these! We have had them for about a week, and the Cheeky toys have very quickly become his favorites. He almost always has one of them in his mouth!
He HAS managed to tear through the white belly fabric on the whale, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find a layer of the gray fabric below it. I clipped the rest of the white fabric off so he wouldn't keep ripping it. He has not managed to get through the gray fabric yet on any of them! The squeakers have gotten chewed up and only work sometimes at this point, but that's to be expected. Except for where I clipped out the white fabric, they still look really good!
I am really pleased with the durability of these toys, and I will definitely be watching for new animals!

Thank you so much, Shannon! 🧡
We’re thrilled to hear Georgie is loving his Cheeky toys — and we love how cleverly you handled the whale’s white belly fabric! It’s awesome to know the gray layer is holding strong 💪
We really appreciate your thoughtful and detailed feedback — it means a lot to our small team. And don’t worry, more animals are in the works… 👀🐾

I got mine, but threw nearly all of them away
Although I did receive the toys unlike many that I've read, they were late in arriving by several weeks. I was asked for a review and let them know that the first one of the 5 I gave to my standard poodle girl was destroyed in a matter of minutes and I just threw the other four away.

Hi ConnieSue,
We’re truly sorry to hear that the toys didn’t work out for your dog — and even more so that you felt it wasn’t worth trying the others. Our toys are made with high-performance materials and have worked well for many power chewers, but we know no toy is indestructible, and every dog plays differently.
We wish your pup all the best, and we’re disappointed this experience wasn’t a better one.

Poorly manufactured in China
I received a poorly manufactured product from China which did not meet the promised quality or my expectations. It is not durable at all. Do not buy. Two stars for responding to my emails, though they did not show any guilt or willingness to resolve the issue.

Misleading marketing, poor durability
Cheeky claimed that their product is "the strongest" dog toy and touted its long lasting design with in-depth explanations about their material and process.
Our 5-month old puppy (less than 15lbs large) chewed through the fins of the whale toy within one week.
I had received this toy 5 months after backing (which is respectably quick for a Kickstarter) and had been really looking forward to cherishing the toy for at least a few months, if not the years that the Kickstarter page seemed to imply.
Given that this "toy" cost me 30 euros including shipping, I assumed it would be half-okay. I was wrong.
The marketing for Cheeky toys is greatly exaggerated, misleading, and the product is nowhere near as durable as claimed.

Hi Wookie,
Thanks for your feedback — we’re sorry to hear the whale didn’t hold up for your pup. While our toys are made with high-performance technical fabrics, no soft toy is indestructible and results can vary depending on each dog’s play style.

Don't waste your money on these
Don't waste your money on these. The seams break apart too easily. When contacting them about it, they just say oh well, it's your dog's fault. Stick with things like Kong who's toys last longer and will actually provide good customer support if you get a bad one.
In response to their response, I did already email them and they asked for pictures... Which I sent, and I never heard from them again.

Super-tough, super toy!
No toy has stood up to the tug of war between my British bulldog and my Beagly thing. Until Cheeky toys. Best toy ever. My dogs keep chewing and pulling And the toy holds up.
Thank you, Cheeky, for the toy that doesn’t quit.

Avoid at all costs
Avoid at all costs. Their product is cheaply made in China with European marketing. I gave it to my dog based on the fact that it was designed for "extreme force & impact" as well as durability. My dog gently chewed the toy on his bed and it started falling to pieces. It is poorly made and not resilient. Terrible product that is advertised as being durable, but it broke quicker than €5 cheap dog toy. It's just an attempt to get more money for an inferior product. Their customer services is also terrible, they refused to issue a refund when their shoddy product broke after 24hrs.

Hi Anthony,
We’re truly sorry to read your review and disappointed that your experience with Cheeky was so negative — especially after our multiple email exchanges and careful attention to your case.
Our toys are made from high-performance materials, including UHMWPE fiber blends used in technical and safety equipment, and our manufacturing partner in China was carefully selected for quality and durability. That said, no fabric toy is indestructible, and as we clearly state across our communications, some dogs — even with gentle chewing — can damage soft toys quickly, depending on their play style.
As mentioned in our emails, we reviewed your photos in detail and took your concerns seriously. However, as the toy had already been used and the issue was reported after use, it was outside the conditions of our return policy, which we apply consistently to all backers and customers.
We’re sorry we couldn’t resolve this in a way that met your expectations, but we stand by the honesty of our materials, the care we put into our customer service, and the many happy customers who’ve had great results with our toys.
We wish you and your dog all the best.

Bad quality - do not buy
Toy looks very nice, but our border collie, 15kg, tore this toy apart in a few minutes... Quality is much worse than Kong toys. Unfortunately, I bought two toys. The seller is just quoting its TOS and refuses to do any refund.
- Edited to reply to the comment below -
There were no other solutions offered then - NO REFUND / NO RETURN. How can you say that you tried to offer a viable solution?

Toy was no match against my dog
I have an aggressive chewer--she's taken out jolly balls. Was hoping these toys would last a little while, but it took her just 8 minutes to chew holes in the fabric and begin removing the stuffing/guts.
Pros: the toys are cute, and the company was responsive to email communication.
Cons: stuffing is synthetic fill, shipping is via a small (and slow) shipper--took ten days for the toy to arrive.
I'm not going to hold it against Cheeky that their high-tech fabric was no match against my dog's choppers; it's kind of funny, tbh.

Dogs go nuts
Dogs love the toys which means they hate it, it burns them up that they can't get the squeaky toy out of the center of the little animal thing, looks like an eeewok, anyways there is some damage on the ears of one of them but that's it, so far it has done well with its claim of being Indestructible, good job cheeky

Thanks a ton Steven — we LOVED your review! 😄
It’s true… the frustration of not reaching that squeaker is real — sounds like your pup is taking the challenge very seriously 🐶🎯
We’re glad to hear the toy’s holding up (ears aside!) and really appreciate your support and sense of humor.
Long live the “Ewok”!

In less than one week of receiving the toys, one of them has already been destroyed.
Depending on the size of the dog, the dog may not be able to get to the squeaker and therefore it's not as interactive for the dog and the dog loses interest in the toy.

Great toy for toothless dogs
The toy lasted no more than ten minutes before two holes appeared.
Our dog isn’t a particularly aggressive destroyer of toys more than any other dog.
I have spent five times less on a toy and it’s lasted longer. It’s dissatisfying that a toy that costs around 20 odd pounds didn’t last longer.
I would consider your options before buying this toy if your dog has teeth.

Total scam!
Total scam!
I ordered three items from the Kickstarter campaign. My medium-sized dogs destroyed these within minutes. Sadly, this is true of for the majority of funding backers based on the responses left within the comments thread on Kickstarter, viewable to backers only. Many backers reported never receiving their order as well. Cheeky has not responded to any KS comments or issued refunds.
The product is nowhere near as durable as advertised. I guess it makes sense they protect their fraudulent profits with the following return policy (from their website);

Hello Ross,
We’re truly sorry to hear that your dogs weren’t able to enjoy the toys as expected. We understand that every dog has a different play style, and sometimes, even the most durable toys aren’t a perfect match for every dog. However, we stand by the quality of our products, which are made with the strongest fibers currently available on the market, including Dyneema®.
Regarding your claims about "fraudulent profits" and "no responses" on Kickstarter, we feel the need to clarify a few things. We’ve delivered all the orders that were placed and have been in direct contact with our backers throughout the process. We have not received any complaint emails from you directly—so it’s a bit surprising to see you make such claims publicly without having reached out for resolution. We always encourage direct communication with us, rather than jumping to conclusions or making assumptions based on incomplete information.
We are genuinely sorry that our product didn’t meet your expectations, but before leaving such harsh reviews, we encourage you to reach out directly with us for better assistance. We’re committed to providing quality and support to all of our customers, as reflected by the numerous positive reviews from those who have genuinely enjoyed our toys.
We are always open to constructive feedback, and we’re continuously improving our products based on customer experiences.
Best regards,
Celia
