On opening the package, my pups were immediately interested , the chipmunks peek out of several strategically placed holes in the tree trunk, looking cheeky and enticing, they each have a squeaker too and has kept my cane Corso and staff pups amused, served as a seek em out toy and a tug of war too!So far it’s faced a lot of rough play and still looks like new! Great value, well made and interesting soft toyI would recommend.

I’ve bought quite a few toys for my 18 month old Welsh Sheepdog. Tennis balls end up in pieces within days, stitching comes apart of furry dog toys and the stuffing ends up everywhere. I saw this and thought I’d give it a try and I’m so glad I did, it keeps him amused for hours on many different levels and have now become his second favourite toy (nothing will beat his half chewed rubber ball though).With the 6 squirrels stuffed into it he loves to ferret them all out and throw them everywhere. He quickly learned what they were called and I can hide them around the flat and ask him to find them for me, and he’ll spend a happy half an hour seeking them all out. He will play with the tree trunk for hours, ragging it, running round with it. It is really well made, and if it can stand the attentions of an overexcited collie it must be good.

Bought this for our five year old Cockapoo and it’s quickly become one of favourite toys (and she’s got a LOT of toys) bought the large version which includes six squirrels. She absolutely loves it! There is always a squirrel near her as she loves to play with them. The squirrels themselves seem well made, and six months later, they are all still in good condition (although she is a very gentle dog and doesn’t ever rip her toys apart). The ‘tree trunk’ that the little squirrels live in is also well made, although, as mentioned in other reviews, it doesn’t stay standing up as there is no weight to the base of it. One game we play with her involves hiding treats inside the trunk and putting all the squirrels in it so that she has to pull them all out to get to her reward. I would highly recommend this for smaller dogs and I think it is excellent value for money!

Let’s get the negatives out of the way: 1. there is a lot of plastic, and some of the little ties may get stuck in the toy, posing a hazard to your dog. Check thoroughly. 2. the seam stitching around the holes of the log is messy. It does all seem strong, but it looks like it isn’t… we’ll have to see how long it lasts. 3. we have a Yorkshire Terrier, a small dog, and the squirrels in the small version of the toy are small enough he can get a whole one in his mouth, a larger choking hazard.BUT we bought this on Christmas Day after said dog “killed” the supposedly-tough snow leopard toy we got him for Christmas in about 15 minutes. Squeaker dead and ear ripped off, this elderly dog with only a few teeth goes all out when he has a squeaky plush toy to chew. He was sad he could no longer play, especially with the excited mood of the day around him, so we got him a new toy on Amazon to arrive quickly. It arrived quickly. After being unwrapped and we noticed the above problems, I then put two of the squirrels in the log part and gave him the other so he knew what he was “searching” for. The squirrel is still intact, though the squeaker died today, and he is having a great time trying to get the other two out of the log while getting his biting and squeaking fill in.If you have a dog that bites through plush toys quickly, the added “get it out of the log” factor helps the toy survive and keeps them endlessly entertained.

Theo loves this toy. I was concerned about how small the squirrels may be but decided to try the XL size as thought it should be ok. – they are fine.He loves taking them out of the trunk/branch. And the squirrels even squeak!The squirrels are small and think it’s probably not that durable – but then when are are soft toys durable for chewing dogs?Wouldn’t leave it unsupervised but the numerous squirrels mean there’s always another to tempt him to.Getting a second one now for my parents’ dog.Excellent value for money as well.

It’s so much fun for a dog to pull or shake the squirrels out. And you can surprise them by putting other toys in too. Great toy!

Holes in it from the 1st use, my dog doesn’t chew, shred or rip his toys but just his gentle “nibbling” (ie opening and closing his mouth slowly on the toy) has put several holes in the main material (not the seams) and some of the seams have also torn from being carried around the house.However he enjoyed playing with it and so it is good for that reason and it’s also HUGE.

Possibly our dog’s favourite toy. Nice to be able to purchase a decent size toy for large dog. Great quality toy. Purchased some years ago and still going strong. Squirrels have really loud squeaks in them. Only just found out that you can purchase replacement/more Squirrels if required.

Really like this product. My dog loves it. Very good quality.

Our puppy prefers toys to food, so sourcing a good non-food related puzzle toy was important. He has played non stop since it arrived. So far, so good.
