Kit doesn't show much interest in stuffed animals but paper towels on the other hand…

Oh yea does Zaire love to rip out the insides of the stuffed toys. But Charlie does the same thing. I took to just buying bear skins from the build a bear store here. So lucky for me when she showed up I was already prepared for it. :)

My kids have tons of stuffed animals…they wouldn't survive if Nala was a puppy, but she really only grabs one (playfully) to get our attention. When I read about lots of other Bs, I am truly amazed that there isn't any "carnage"....

Apache and Chey don't unstuff unless Marlowe starts on a toy, which he does ALL the time. If they can, they'll take it from him and have a field day. They're favorite toys all seem to be the unstuffed ones.

Dallas will chew his & shake them around like he's tearing apart a live animal, but there has only been one that he has actually unstuffed. He has put a couple holes in a few of them but hasn't pulled out the stuffing. I think he likes them intact…or maybe he just hasn't gotten to the destuffing phase yet. LOL

Is this what you mean by pulling all the stuffing out …

I am always cleaning up "guts" from Squiggys "kills". If the hole is small enough still, I stuff the guts back in.
I buy his toys at the dollar store and refuse to purchase the neat cute ones at the petstores anymore.
He also has a few gutted shells that he plays with, so I keep them, but usually I toss them after he tears them up so much. -

Ours do it too, even the new puppy (heck she is worse than the others really). THey also love the toys that have the velcro puch that you can put the squeaker pouch in. That allows them to get the insides out over and over. It is almost like it bothers them that you put the thing back and they will not stop until it is empty. We also have lots of empty animal husks all over the house.

Yup, that would be a good illustration of pulling the stuffing out…

"Animal husks" – that's a good description.
A week or so ago my sister-in-law was over for dinner and while we were all chatting she noticed the dog toys spread all over (how could any one not notice :o). And I saw her looking and looking and looking and finally she said with a very surprised tone - "Every one of these toys has the stuffing pulled out!" :D -
Mine both had minimal destruction, except appendages like ears eyes and tails of stuffed animals must be chewed off asap, but within the last month I witnessed one day it was as if a switch went off and saw them both just rip all the stuffing out of their favorite toys, it's everywhere now everyday!

Zuni doesn't unstuff her plush toys, but I just found out today that the quilt in the guest bedroom is another story!

Arwen starts a hole and destuffs. If the toy is intact, Cara loves to play forever… a hole, and she joins Arwen.
9 yrs of Arwen and destuffing. My old Rottie LOVED his woobie, would carry it in and out to potty, sleep with it. We get Arwen and end up having to take them because she would rip up in yard and I feared they would eat and get blocked. Ditto in room, Sayblee would squeak toys forever... Arwen desqueaked. I have finally gotten tough and have squeak toys only in Cara's cage and going postal when Arwen touches them. But some weeks I still destuff 4 or 5 toys. Haven't had to in a few weeks but I am sure the cycle will begin again.
Meantime, Arwen is busy with her new game. She discovered she can flip both bathroom AND kitchen trash cans (with step on to open tops) over. Anyone want a Basenji?
