Guests are saying
The product is a cute puppy toy that is designed to swim but fails to do so. Many guests found that while the tail spins, the toy does not move or float properly in water. Despite its visual appeal, it does not perform as advertised, leading to disappointment.

Terrible pool toy
I should’ve read the other reviews before I purchased. A complete waste of money because it doesn’t work.

Didn't Work... Twice
Didn’t work. Super disappointed. My mom went and bought another one and it did the same thing. Super sad toddler…

Don't waste your money.
The item description states it swims around your pool. What they don't tell you is you have to wind it up, then the tail spins for about a minute, and the dog barely moves in the water. The legs don't do anything. A total waste of money. It's cute looking but that's about it.

Not as I imagined.
Doesn't work and I'm not the only one it seems. Dog only spins tail, all of his legs are flexed back and don't move in water so he sinks.

doesn't swim
It’s really cute but it doesn’t really swim. It only wags its tail when it’s in water. I don’t know if that’s normal but we were expecting it to swim a lot more.

Don't Buy It.
Does not work. Do not recommend. The cheaper turtle/frogs they sell in the baby section work much better!

Cute, but doesn’t consistently work and definitely doesn’t float well.

Legs don't paddle
The legs seem like they should move but they don’t. The tail just spins around and it barely goes anywhere. Bummer.

This product flat out lies.
I don't understand why adults do this to kids. A kid has his $12 allowance and decides to believe what he reads. The package says the dog swims when you wind it up. Nope. That is just a lie designed to get money from children. If you think that sounds dramatic... think about it. Where's the lie? Kids have to learn. The world is full of trickery. Many many people don't really care about you - they don't know you, they don't want to. They just see you as a barrier to what they want.

Dows not swim.
This toy winds up and is supposed to swim in the water, it winds up and does nothing. Floats on its side. Very disappointing for the targeted audience.

Meh.
The tail is not a very strong propeller, so the dog doesn’t really move anywhere. I got this for my kids to use in the pool but tried it out in the bath first. It barely moved in the bath, so doubt it would survive the pool.

Sadly disappointed.
Doesn’t swim at all; just floats around while the tail spins. Only gave it 1 star bc by toddler thinks it’s cute.
