I bought the duck for my 5 pound poodle and it became his favorite toy. The sound of the duck scared him though, but the great part is if they don't like it you can just remove it and they still love just the plush toy. It's perfect for even the smallest dogs and can easily be carried around and played with. The design makes it easy for small dogs to get their mouths around to pick up. I would not recommend this for very destructive dogs though as the limbs might get torn off.
