GiGwi Johnny Stick review: best durable chew toy

The GiGwi Fetch and Play Johnny Stick is our Best Chew Toy: a stick-shaped TPR rubber chew with a squeaker inside. It gives your dog the stick they love to gnaw, without the splinters of a real one.

What makes it better than a real stick?

Real sticks splinter and can cut a dog’s mouth or stomach. The Johnny Stick keeps the shape and the satisfying chew but uses firm, flexible TPR that won’t shard. The built-in squeak rewards each bite, and the stick shape is easy to throw, so it’s a chew and a fetch toy in one. That two-in-one habit matters at home: your dog gets the gnawing outlet it wants, and you get a throw toy for the hallway or the yard, without a drawer full of separate toys.

Is it durable?

TPR from a known brand like GiGwi holds up far better than plush or cheap rubber. It’s firm enough for serious gnawing yet gentle on a puppy’s gums, which makes it a solid teething toy too. Rinse it with warm soapy water between sessions (all rubber means there’s no soaked plush to dry out) and rotate it with a second toy so the novelty lasts. No chew is truly indestructible, though. A power-chewer breed finds the weak points faster than a gentle mouther, so check the surface for splits each week, take it away once it cracks, and match the size to your dog.

Is it worth it?

Around ₱229 as of July 16, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. For a branded chew that survives a determined gnawer, it’s sulit against the sticks you’d replace weekly. Think of the garden sticks you’d otherwise toss after every walk: one chew that lasts months quietly earns its keep, and it spares you the vet bill a splintered stick can cause.

Who should buy it

Buy this if your dog is a chewer or a stick-lover, or a teething puppy who needs something safe to gnaw. See where it ranks in our best dog toys in the Philippines roundup, or check our dog toy buying guide for what to look for in a chew.
