BARK Chris P. Bacon Dog Toy, $14.29 at Target
It’s no secret that dogs love bacon, and while Chris P. Bacon doesn’t actually taste like the real thing, its familiar shape, crazy crinkle and assortment of squeakers are more than enough to get your dog’s attention. Ideal for breeds of all sizes, it features a polyester exterior with a soft polyester fill, along with three squeakers and crazy crinkle built into a ribbed, textured strip along both longer sides.
Measuring 2 inches long, 12 inches tall and 6 inches wide, it’s ideal for most dog sizes, though according to fans, it might not be the best fit for tough chewers. That said, with a variety of textures and sounds to explore all tucked into one toy, it’s the perfect thing to toss into the mix at home, bring along on the road when visiting family and more. And when it’s not being used, it’s easy to tuck away without taking up too much space.

Pet Parents Can’t Get Enough
Online, this cheerful toy has already racked up rave reviews, boasting a 5-star average rating, so you know it’s got to be good. One fan called it “squeaky joy,” noting that while it’s a “longer toy” than expected, they love being able to “play tug-of-war” and “toss it around” with their Mini Schnauzer. “The wrinkly effect has kept him busy when we play, and it’s a sound he instantly perks his ears to.”
Another shopper described it as an “instant favorite,” one that always prompts their pup to “immediately run over to investigate.” They noted that the squeaker does a great job grabbing their dog’s attention and love how engaging it is. “The squeaker is loud enough to be exciting, but not so high-pitched that it becomes annoying.”
BARK is no stranger to designing tough, fun and durable toys your dog can enjoy for hours at a time. Chris P. Bacon is the perfect example, combining your pup’s love for human food with a good old-fashioned playtime favorite. Snag it while it’s still in stock and upgrade playtime with this hilarious, effective pick.
