Outward Hound Hide-A-Squirrel Plush Squeaky Dog Toy, Large, 10.5" x 7.5"

My old neghbor comes to visit with her little dog, and he LOVES THIS TOY so much! I bought this so he'd have something to play with when he's over. The dog comes in and specifically looks for this toy, and loves pulling out the little chipmunks. He is squeeker obsessed, and the chipmunks all squeek! Its fun to throw them in different dirrections, and have him attempt to collect them all which he places in a little pile. We had a bigger version for our dog, when he was still alive, and he also loved it.

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!

Miniature dachshund loves this toy. She gets her snout stick in it trying to get the squirrels. Little squirrels squeak. Perfect for smaller dogs.

**UPDATE** ... almost 3 years after purchasing/posting my original review: My 3 yr old male mini Doxy still absolutely loves these squirrels. However, we are down to only a couple.. and they are mostly missing their tales.. so I'm thinking about reordering this set. I mentioned in a previous, original review, my daughter's female mini Doxy destroyed her tree in no time at all. That became the same case with my dog, as well. However, both of them still love the squeaker squirrels! They prance around with them like they are a prized treasure. I do wish the tree had lasted longer though, folks. Again, I'm glad we got the XL set/squirrels. They were still the perfect size for their small mouths. You can buy a 3 pk of squirrels separate, btw. I feel I should probably lower my rating for the tree not lasting... but the squirrels themselves were very durable, and they sure have enjoyed playing with them! ------------- Original post from 3 years ago: We have bought this item twice. The first time was for my daughter's mini dachshund pup and those squirrels have lasted for years. In fact, she said she still has them after 3 or 4 years. The dog did chew up the tree quite some time ago, even though it was very sturdy. She seems to know precisely how to rip stuffing out of a toy. Has it down to a science. Big, little, expensive, or cheap toys don't stand much of a chance with her. So it is surprising the squirrels have not been destroyed. We recently got our own mini-dachshund puppy (14 weeks old now) and he also loves these squirrels so we bought him this same set. Whether chasing them when we throw them or carrying them around in his mouth, he loves them, too. The tree is its own separate shake, tug of war, chew toy. He doesn't seem to grasp the concept of the hidden toy aspect. So it will likely meet the same fate as the first one we bought. Regardless, we think this toy is definitely worth the money. If nothing else, buy the squirrels separately. They are awesome squeaky, dog toys! Btw, not sure if these come in different sizes...Buy the large ones if you have to select one...You'll get more for your money. Even small breed puppies can enjoy the larger size version.

This is a great toy the dogs really loved it especially because you can put the squirrels inside of the tree trunk. It is easy to clean and the dogs love the sound of the squirrels. My only drawback on this toy is that once they rip the bottom of it it's full of cardboard at the bottom of the tree trunk so once they find a small vulnerability you will have cardboard everywhere. I wish that didn't have a cardboard insert. The appearance is great, the color is great and it's a great variety toy you can also use it as a height of treat inside the log.

Super Cute - Our dog drags it from room to room, loves this toy, the squirrels are pretty tough, but ears and tails take a beating. He's had it for just a few days and already chewing a hole the tree trunk. It may not last too much longer but it keeps him busy which is what we were looking for - keeps him from chewing other things when he's bored.

This is very cute, adorable and fun for my pup. Seems to be well made.

My 7 month old puppy, who is small at 18 lbs, loves the squirrels and plays with them a lot. However, she chewed a hole into the tree shortly after she started playing with this toy. Since this toy is so interesting to the pup, I wish the tree was more durable. The squirrels are holding up much better. Fingers crossed!

A mis perritas les encantaron, además el bote también suena

Meu cachorro amou. O brinquedo é muito fofo e bem acabado. As tortilhas que vêm dentro são pequenas, se o cachorro for grande é bom supervisionar para não correr o risco de engolir.

Ich kann gar nicht zählen, wie oft ich diese Eichhörnchen schon gekauft habe. Ich züchte Chihuahuas und die Eichhörnchen sind das erste Spielzeug, was die Babys zum Spielen bekommen. Zum Auszug der Welpen bekommt dann jeder Käufer einen neuen Satz Eichhörnchen mit nach Hause. Auch wenn sie dann später schon größer sind, spielen sie noch sehr gerne damit. Von mir gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

We first saw this Squirrel Tree at one of our friends homes and or dog loved it so much we had to order one for her. This dog toy is best for smaller dog breeds. Our cockapoo is 12 pounds and it's perfect for her. The squirrels are fairly small and have a squeaker inside them. I would be worried that large dogs might swallow the squirrels. The tree/log holds all the squirrels and has holes on the top and sides to allow you to fill the tree trunk up with squirrels and play hide n seek or tug of war with your dog. Our dog even likes playing with the tree trunk just by itself. In addition to the squirrel that come with the toy you can insert other plush animals and even hide treats inside the trunk. This squirrel log toy keeps our dog interested and intrigued while playing. You can see her trying to figure out how to get the squirrels out and find our where we hid her treats. Overall we like this dog toy a lot and would recommend it to most dog owners. For $38 the price is reasonable considering the play value and number of pieces. I would say we were a little disappoint in the first one we received. The base was not sewn properly and the cardboard inside was crumpled. Our dog chews through the base in a matter of a couple days. We received a replacement toy from Amazon and the second one was sewn properly. It's been a couple weeks now and our puppy hasn't been able to chew through the bottom and still likes playing with her squirrels every day. Great toy for pert owners and would make a great gift. Highly Recommend!
