A Cuddly Companion
For Pups of All Ages

Our large California Grizzly Bear Dog Toy is a favorite for pups and older dogs alike. This bear features the following:

  • A soft, faux-fur exterior for maximum snuggles
  • Squishy body with crinkle-paper to keep mouthy pups stimulated
  • Belly squeaker for extra playtime fun

Please note that this toy contains no ballistic fabric! It is not meant to be chew resistant, and dogs with a history of tearing up stuffed toys will be able to damage this bear. Supervised play is recommended for heavy chewers and destructive pups.

Not covered by the 120 Day Chew Proof Warranty.

Responsible & Sustainable
For People, Pets, & Planet

To maximize sustainability, we use certified-safe recycled polyester fiberfill produced from discarded water bottles for the bear's inner padding, the same material we use to fill our crate pads. Over the last five years alone we’ve kept more than four million plastic bottles out of landfills by upcycling them into bed and toy filling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all! While some customers have reported that this bear has held up well for their chewers, we think that's mostly because their pup liked the toy too much to try and destroy it. This bear contains no ballistic fabric and was not designed to withstand heavy chewing. It can survive mouthing and light chewing, but if your dog tries to rip into it, it won't last long.

The bear has faux-fur made from polyester, and the inner stuffing is polyester fiberfill made from 100% recycled bottles. Inside the main body, there is crinkle paper to produce a crackly noise, and a plastic squeaker.

The California Grizzly Bear Dog Toy is not a chew proof or chew resistant item and is not covered under our 120 Day Chew Proof Warranty. Please be aware that we cannot provide free replacements for bears that have been chewed or torn apart.

This bear should be spot cleaned with a damp towel. Do not machine wash or soak.

Monetary donations are always appreciated, and you can donate directly through their site here. They also have a gift shop that you can check out here.

If you're located in Southern California, you may qualify to volunteer as a puppy raiser. You can read more about the program and apply for it here.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this bear toy is beloved by their dogs, who carry it everywhere and often sleep with it. Many appreciate the crinkle and squeak sounds that keep dogs engaged. The toy's size works well for larger breeds. While some dogs destroy it quickly, particularly aggressive chewers, many report surprising durability with ears being the most vulnerable part. Dogs enjoy shaking, tossing, and cuddling with this toy, making it a popular comfort item.

    Anxiety Bear, my GSD’s favorite stuffy

    My pup has a ton of stuffy’s but this is the one that has to go EVERYWHERE! He is a rescue and had a dinosaur when I got him. After that Dino we tried so many stuffy’s but nothing quite stuck until this bear. He may have lost his ears but other than that, he carries this bear around all the time and makes sure he goes to bed with us. I am so thankful for it.

    This has become her favorite!

    Betty is our 2-3 year old 88lb rescued Great Pyrenees / Doberman/Super Mutt. She loves this guy!!! She does not like change! (she only plays with the toys we gave her when we brought her home from the shelter two years ago) She hasn’t let this out of her sight since it was delivered. She takes it outside to sit and watch the birds too!

    Beware

    Buyer beware as this product lasted 18 hours before our English Bulldog destroyer it. There is also some sort of crinkly material inside that he didn't like. Good company but poor product. Perhaps they put to much advertising in how durable their merchandise is!

    Hi John! We're sorry for any confusion. This toy is a soft item that we sell to raise funds for Guide Dogs of America. It is not a chew proof item and is in fact not chew resistant at all—please keep any destructive dogs supervised when they are playing with this toy and redirect any chewing attempts to an appropriate chew toy.

    We're sorry for any confusion over the sizing! If you check the images displayed for the bear further down on the listing (or in the reviews), that should hopefully give you a better visual reference for this item.

    It's true that if you just want a stuffed animal toy, you might be able to find something similar for less at a big box store. However, this is a charity item and all proceeds for this particular bear go straight to Guide Dogs of America | Tender Loving Canines—which is not the case for the stuff you find at your local store! We appreciate you supporting GDA|TLC with your purchase!
