Perfect Toy for the Picky Dogs!
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
These are replacement squirrels. I had these for my own dogs. When I noticed how much enjoyment they got out of them, I purchased them as gifts. My brother’s 20 lb dog is so picky, but I took a chance. The squirrel toys are the only ones he plays with. According to my brother, his dog ignores treats and toys, but loves the squirrels. A friend of mine said the same thing. She also has small dogs, 25 lb & 30 lb. They preferred the squirrels. This toy is not for big dogs. Unless they’re gentle, they will probably be torn apart very quickly. They are very easy to chew on, the squeak isn’t loud, there’s no smell and very entertaining!

Dog Approved
Color: Squirrels (3-pack)
The toys are soft but well made, and my dog really likes that they squeak. He loves carrying them around and hunting for them when I hide them.

Super Sturdy with hours of fun.
Color: Wild Duck, Hare, Squirrel & Alligator, Size: Small
I got the small ones that you cannot put a water bottle in. These toys have held up way better than expected. I am dog sitting a very rough with toys dog named Chunk. He tears up ever. Single. Toy my dog (Ted) has. I bought new ones just for chunk. These appealed to me with the no stuffing, They were cheaper, and have a squeaker. Everything chunk needed. They arrived on time and I thought I wasted my money. They were super soft, like too soft. They felt flimsy and weak. Like 5 minutes with chunk and they be dead. 2 hours with my dog and they would have a rip. So far 2 of them (I set two out) have lasted the whole weekend. The bunny looks very rough and disgusting, but no rips, the squeakers still work, and no random fluff everywhere. I am going to wash the bunny once chunk leaves. My very careful doggo Ted loves them too. He throws them up in the air and catches them, plays tug of war with them, and no rips. They are super sturdy. He can’t wait until Chunk leaves (chunk is 2 and Ted is 12-13) so he can play with them.

Loved it
Color: Brown/Wild Duck, Size: Large, Color: Brown/Wild Duck, Size: Large
He loved it so much, he destroyed it so we ordered another. I didn't realize that you can stick an empty water bottle inside. Again, the first one didn't last long, but he enjoyed it
