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! Review: One of the best - My golden retriever and cocker spaniel are loving the chipmunks. Those little guys are built tough to survive the tug-of-wars. Their tails are super strong. I'm impressed. When I stuff the chipmunks back into the log, the cocker has figured out how to get them out, though her head can get stuck and the log roams around standing on her shoulders. One of the best toys I've gotten for each/both. ## Features - 2-in-1 Puzzle & Dog Toy: Combines a plush toy with an interactive hide-and-seek puzzle that engages hunting instincts and prey drive - 6 Squeaky Squirrels: X-Large tree trunk (12.6" x 7.1" x 7.1") holds six squeaky squirrels for pups to find and tug out; extra squirrels sold separately - Soft & Snuggly: Plush material and cozy stuffing make it perfect for cuddling, carrying, and gentle play - Boredom Buster: Encourages problem-solving and offers enrichment for hours of fun - Play It Safe: No toy is indestructible.

I have a 13 pound poodle/dachshund mix. But my neighbors 70 pound standard poodle plays with it as well. **Q: Are the ginormous size squirrels the same size as the l size? i bought the l before, but want to get him the bigger one with the same size squirrels.** A: I didn't purchased the L. I only have the ginormous size. The log is big enough for my 100 lb boxer. But the squirrels are pretty small. I imagine they are the same sized squirrels as the L. I hope this helps! **Q: Is this safe for a large dog who is a strong chewer? I have a 3 month old golden retriever and am wondering if the Jumbo size and chipmunks hold up?** A: My dog was about 55lbs and 6 months old. He ripped all the little squirrels open, more like chipmunks really. He likes to pull out the stuffing. He didn't ingest anything, just shredded the chipmunks. The tree is still pretty much intact. The jumbo size doesn't have bigger chipmunks, just a bigger stump that has more chipmunks. My dog loved this toy. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The reviews are legit... this is awesome! *by L***I on March 5, 2024* My 7mo puppy is 40lbs of pure energy.

Those little guys are built tough to survive the tug-of-wars. Their tails are super strong. I'm impressed. When I stuff the chipmunks back into the log, the cocker has figured out how to get them out, though her head can get stuck and the log roams around standing on her shoulders. One of the best toys I've gotten for each/both. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Squirrels are EVERYWHERE!!! *by S***A on July 26, 2012* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Outward Hound Hide A Squirrel Plush Dog Toy Puzzle, XL - Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Treat Puzzle Enrichment Toy, Level 2 Intermediate Game, Blue - Dog Puzzle Toys - Interactive, Mentally Stimulating Toys for IQ Training & Brain Stimulation - Gift for Puppies, Cats, Dogs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2036408-outward-hound-hide-a-squirrel-plush-squeaky-dog-toy-xl](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/2036408-outward-hound-hide-a-squirrel-plush-squeaky-dog-toy-xl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
