Outward Hound Hide-A-Squirrel Dog Toy – Interactive 2‑in‑1 Plush Puzzle with 6 Squeaky Removable Squirrels, X-Large

I bought these at the same time as I bought the Kyjen Hide-A-Squirel toy as I have 3 dogs and I figured at least one of the squirrels would get lost pretty quick leaving the dogs to squabble over the other two reamining squirrels. Ironically, all three of these squirrels are still present and accounted for though they are showing a bit of wear at this point. They are also covered with dog spit but as they are dog toys that is to be expected. I have 2 medium sized dogs and one huge dog. Two of the dogs play with these toys EVERY DAY and after almost 3 months they squirrels are just now starting to show noticeable wear. My dogs love to dissect their toys and remove the squeaker. If I am on the ball I find the squeaker and tie it up in a couple of pairs of old socks and return it to the dogs. This solves two problems: 1. The dogs are unable to injest the squeker and 2. I no longer feel obligated to try to find the mates to those socks. The dogs also love the squeaky sock toys and wiill still play with the squeakerless squirrel toy carcasses so this is truly a win-win situation. At this point, 2 of the 6 total squirrels I ordered are sans squeaker. Three out of the six are showing any real wear. One out of the six total looks like new, probably because it has been under the dresser for the past two months. So, these squirrels are smart as well, or at least one out of six is of above average intelligence. Well played, Kyjen, well played. These toys and the Kyjen Hide-A-Squirrel toy were all a big hit with my dogs, even with the dog that could care less about them because when I throw a squirrel for the other dogs to fetch, the dog who doesn't play with the toys chases the dogs that are running after the toy and screws with the slower dog by latching onto one of his hind legs and making him fall down. So, these toys entertain the dogs that actually play with them, the dog that couldn't care less about them, and me. That's getting the most possible bang for your buck right there! This is the first time I bought any of Kyjen's products and I would absolutely buy Kyjen products again as well as reccomend them to my dog-owning friends. These are awesome toys. Yes, the squirrels are on the small side but I was expecting that as I actually took the time to read the product description before I ordered them. My dogs do not care that the squirrels are kind of small and I don't believe that the size of the toys has any impact on their durability or function. These are awesome dog toys. If you don't get them for your dogs you are not a fun person and it's highly likely that your dog pees on you as you sleep. I sure would. I mean I would if I were your dogs. Buy the damn toys already! *HERE'S MY REVIEW OF THE KYJEN HIDE-A-SQUIRREL TOY* This review is from: Kyjen PP01056 Hide-A-Squirrel Pet Toy, Large I have 2 medium sized dogs and one giant dog and two of them love these toys. The other one likes to play with other dogs much more than she does dog toys so I'm not really surprised that she isn't that into them. The wierd dog and the giant dog LOVE these toys and play with them daily. They have taken both the squirrels and the "tree trunk" outside, played tug-of-war with them and even buried them and the toys are still looking pretty good after a couple of months of rough, frequent play. Two of the squirrels are now without their squeakers as the giant dog loves to dissect them and remove the squeakers. This isn't a problem, I actually expected he would have removed all of the squeakers by now and I bought three additional squirrels because I really expected these toys to wear out much more quickly. I'm pleasantly surprised at how well they are hanging in there. Of the six squirrels I ordered five are present and accounted for and the dogs play with all of them, even the ones giant dog has disemboweled. Yes, the squirrels are on the small side. I was not surprised by this as I took the time to read the complete product description. I don't know how well other larger dogs would like these toys, my giant dog is touched in the head but very smart and he loves them despite the size. I have never ordered Kyjen products before ordering this Hide-A-Squirrel toy and the replacement toys and I am thrilled that the toys are of such good qulaity and that my dogs are getting lots of "play" out of them. Even the one dog that doesn't like toys that much is entertained by them as she likes to chase the dogs that are playing with the toys and try to chew their legs off as they run. All my dogs are entertained and entertained dogs are dogs that are not running all over the neighborhood humping everything in sight or chewing holes in my socks. I would absolutely order Kyjen products again and I would order from this seller again. My items arrived one day before they were due and were packed appropriately. I would also reccommend both Kyjen and this seller to other dog owners and have already told my sister about these toys and how awesome they are. If I could give this product and this seller more than five stars I so would!

Our little Morkie is having the most fun ever with this toy! And so are we! He absolutely loves digging the little squirrels out of their openings and shaking the whole thing if one won’t come out for him. The squirrels have squeakers in them and he loves making them squeak! Charlie is 7 months old and still has a few very sharp baby teeth and all the components of this toy are holding up well, so it’s super sturdy. For all the play he is getting from the toy the low price was very nice. We bought the smallest size since Charlie is only 5 pounds, it’s the perfect size for him.

My 7mo puppy is 40lbs of pure energy. I was looking for something that would hold her attention & keep her from being bored without just gnawing on a bone. This is the perfect stimulation for her! I also like that I don't have to worry about sharp edges anywhere on this toy. I purchased the XL last night & put it together out of her sight. This entailed simply opening the outer package, then pulling a netted bag out of the center of the log; this bag contained six squirrels that I cut out of the bag. There are four offsetting holes in the body of the log, with five if you count the larger hole at the top. I put all of the squirrels back in the log & introduced her to it so that it was more intriguing than just seeing squirrels piled up next to the trunk. She immediately went for it, grabbing one squirrel after another. She first played with them by the head or tail, so she got extra excited when I showed her that the bodies squeaked. They get strewn everywhere as she roots them out, then she sticks her nose in the log & tosses it around, prancing over to me to show that she found all the squirrels. The individual squirrels are also exciting to my puppy, & it's funny to see her play with one then realize there's another in the corner to play with, then the log, then another squirrel she hasn't played with in 2mins, & then another, & so on, ad infinitum. Sometimes, she takes a squirrel & brings it to me, stuffing it in my hand or on my lap so I can toss it to her. After a while, I put them back in the log, & the cycle starts again. I like to leave one or two stuffed in the middle & not poking out of a hole so that she has to work a bit harder to get them out, & she loves it. That means that I love it, since I can get work done & don't have to worry about my fur baby being bored & destructive. Speaking of destruction, my only complaint is that the squirrels aren't exactly durable. Within the first 3mins one of the squirrels lost a tail & its hair on top. Today another one kept its tail, but is also now bald. Given how much my puppy loves this toy, it's not enough for me to deduct a star. I don't know how long the trunk & the rest of the squirrels will hold up, but so far, I'm incredibly pleased. My puppy is too, as it was the first thing she went looking for after our morning routine/to start her playtime. I rarely write reviews, but this is one item that surprised me with how well it works; I readily recommend it to anyone with a fur baby! UPDATE JUNE 2025: More than a year later & these are still going strong! Sure, I've sewn a neck together & searched for a tail to sew back on, but I still have all the squirrels & the log is holding up. These days I'll hide a treat or two in it so the fun lasts longer & she has to root out the squirrels & figure out how to remove it, but she still plays with it on her own frequently!

This was our chiweinnie dogs favorite toys! Perfect for puppy curiosity. The male puppy is extremely rough play and works until he tears out the squeaker out of every toy we buy. Love that you can buy replacements affordably. He did finally win the battle but it was not easy to rip apart I give 5 stars to hold up to 4 pups and one destroyer dog.

She is fascinated by tree animals. I gave this to her expecting a game involving the squeaky squirrels I'd unwrapped and stuffed inside the log. The first thing she did was tear out the bottom of the log, even though I showed her the other openings. I think she thought if she destroyed the whole tree they'd have nowhere to hide. That took her less than 10 seconds. I was still gathering the packaging when I heard the rip. It's now hanging like a flap because I wrestled her for it and I distracted her by playing fetch with the squirrels. Now I stuff the remnant of log with all her toys and treats and tuck in the flap, and each time she plays with it, she pulls a little more stuffing out of it. I don't think it will last very long. But she does love the squeaking squirrels. They sound just like the real tree animals outside that seem to enjoy teasing her. She chews one of these stuffed squirrels while laying on top of the rest. The squirrels are more sturdy than the log. Anyway, I'd buy this again, but I do wish the stitching on the bottom of the log was sturdyer. It's hard with a bull-terrier, but since everyone knows dogs love to chew, there's a high expectation for toys marked with a double-digit pricetag to stand up to the chewing, at least for a few minutes. 5 stars for creativity in the design, and for hours of fun for my animal companion, but one star deducted for the log being deconstructed before I could clean up the packaging.

But I don't even MIND that I find the six squirrels that stuff the ginormous version of this toy ALL over the house--or outside. I bought this a few weeks ago for our almost four month old German Shorthaired Pointer puppy. She LOVES it--and in a house FULL of dog toys (I mean--it really IS ridiculous) she goes back to this one over and over. She really likes when I play with her with the toy--squeaking the squirrels and then throwing them so she can fetch them. Sometimes she brings them back--even mastering carrying two at a time, which I thought impressive--or sometimes she wants to play keep away. It's great that you can stuff the plush tree trunk over and over and over--and put other toys or a treat or two in there besides. I haven't had to wash it yet, but I think it will hold up well. I like that you can get replacement squirrels too--the first couple of days two of the six squirrels went missing--but they resurfaced. I bought the Ginormous size because more is---well, more. I liked that it came with six squirrels (so it wouldn't matter so much if she tore up or lost a couple of them)and the larger one was only a few dollars more than the next size down and had twice as many squirrels. It was less than $18 at this writing and qualified for Amazon PRIME shipping (almost immediate gratification.) Normally I buy plush toys for the dog at yard sales for a buck or two--but I'd purchase this toy again without hesitation. If I had to pinpoint one concern it might be that the squirrels are not very big. It's fine right now, but when she's a bigger dog--they look like she could swallow one. But I am trusting that the dog toy design people have considered this potential hazard. Also, one of the squirrels now makes a slightly weak squeak compared to the others, but almost NO squeaky toy can stand up to vigorous chewing forever. And if they all quit working I can just buy more squirrels! I shot a short video of my puppy playing with this toy. The footage doesn't do the toy justice. It's 97 degrees outside right now and neither the dog nor I feel like running around in THAT heat. But I'm going to try to include the footage because she does the typical animal shake with it. And she's beautiful. Get this toy. I highly recommend it. update: 03/28/2013--Dog is a year old now. We still have this toy and the squirrels--largely intact. A month ago she did rip a tear between two of the holes in the plush tree trunk. However, a needle and thread fixed it. I've looked back at some of the negative reviews about how this toy didn't last 10 minutes with certain dogs. My dog is a bird dog and is, of course, supposed to bring you game that is in unmarked condition so you can eat it. She DOES occasionally tear up toys (most often, the toys she destroys are specifically "Dog toys" that were supposedly designed FOR Dogs. The squirrel toy is still going strong (after I fixed the tear--mainly so that it didn't invite her to make it bigger.) Let's face it--SOME dogs tear ANYTHING up--and I feel for you if your dog is one of those. We had a playdate with a friend's German Shepherd this morning, and not only did that dog take my dog's new tennis ball (oh, yeah, one of those designed FOR dogs--with cute little paw prints on it) and then just SIT on it so no one could throw it/chase it any longer--she also then proceeded to chew it in half. Again--the DOG-specific tennis ball did NOT hold up like a regular tennis ball. No biggie--we have hundreds of tennis balls. But that dog had some amazing jaws. Know your dog and make your purchases accordingly. I think the interest factor of this toy (toys within toy) keeps her coming back. I'll put it for a few weeks and then get it back out and she loves it all over again.

My pups really enjoy these toys—they love the squeakers and stay entertained chasing them around. Perfect size for small dogs and puppies, and they’re soft enough for indoor play. The only downside is they don’t hold up forever with heavy chewing, but for the price and fun factor, they’re definitely worth it.

Hands down the best toy that I have ever purchased. It is the first interactive dog toy that interested both of my dogs, a Shih Tzu and a Cacapoo. BTW, I purchased the extra large because I guessed that they would play tug of war for it...and they do! It is also made very well, especially the squirrels. I am keeping an eye out for another toy from this company!

Maravilloso producto, está hermoso y de gran calidad (no duro mucho porque mis perros lo mordieron pero ya sabía que eso pasaría y fue un regalo para ellos), así que si lo quieres para perros que muerden juguetes velo como un lujo porque no va a durar mucho.

My two dogs LOVE this toy - it's the 2nd one ive bought....in 9 years! Great for younger dogs (eye-to-paw cordination) & older dogs alike both mine love the squeaky aspect & playing fetch with them too! Comes with x 6 stuffed & squeaky 'squirrel' toys that both my dogs seem to adore (I often find several of these squirrels 'hidden' by one of the dogs - trying to outwith the other 😆! A great toy for you & your dogs to enjoy playing together!

Veio bem embalado e chegou rápido. Brinquedos com bom acabamento.

Très amusant!!

One of my puppy's favorite toys. Holds up to all the biting.
