A must buy
Date: September 21, 2009
"My puppy's favorite toy by far. I do wish you could buy replacement squirrels. She has killed one of the squeakers already. But, she still carries around the one that no longer squeaks. This entertains her for hours."

"My dog loved this toy. He even played with the squirrels after they had been thoroughly desqueaked and destuffed (which is unusual for him)."

Gunner loves this toy!
Date: February 12, 2009
"This is the best toy we have provided our Yorkshire Terrier. He loves playing with the squirrels and the tree trunk. He puts them in and out of the tree trunk or hides the squirrels around the room. He also plays fetch with the squirrels. It was a great buy!"

Best Toy for My Curious Shih Apso
Date: February 2, 2009
"My dog knew he had a toy in the box when it arrived from UPS. He stood anxiously awaiting the opening of the box.
As soon as he say the Hide-A-Squirrel he immediately sat up and begged for the toy. He's been playing with it all morning and if I hide the squirrels without showing an exterior portion of them, he get really sad and brings it to me to help him.
This is a great toy and I am glad that I purcased this item. We will wait and see if my doggie makes this his favorite toy."

Mini Schnauzer says "the best"
Date: December 29, 2008
"Hello- we purchased a raft of new toys for our mini-Schnauzer for Christmas, and this has by far been the biggest hit. She will play with it for hours on end... taking out the squirrels, playing with the "log" , taking other stuff out of the log (you can "hide" balls, bones, whatever in there).... or loading it up and tossing like a ball. One thing I should mention - this is not a negative in our case, but I was surprised at the small size of everything. The squirrels are only 4-5" long. In our case with the mini-schnauz it's perfect, but I think a big dog could easily swallow them (like a sock) without much trouble. One of the promo photos shows a big yellow lab playing with them.... well maybe, but it definitely seems better suited to a terrier-type of dog (in my opinion only)"

Best toy ever
Date: December 18, 2008
"My two little dogs love this toy though it is bigger than they are. My little boy takes the squirrels out of the trunk, an my little girl puts them back. I don’t know who has more fun, them playing with it or me watching them. I think it’s good for them because even a puppy mind is a terrible thing to waste!"

Awesome
Date: December 8, 2008
"I bought this for our new puppy. She absoutely loves this toy. She plays with the squirrels alone but also loves to tackle and roll around with just the tree stump. This is her favorite toy other than the kids slippers. I am purchasing another one for Christmas."

Great JR Toy
Date: September 29, 2008
"This is a great toy for the intelligent Jack Russell. Ours spends so much time with this toy because it takes more concentration for him than a single plush toy does. We toss multiple squirrels around to keep him occupied, sometimes hiding them deep in the tree stump for him to find."

Fun, fun, fun!

"Our dogs got this toy originally for Christmas from a friend, and they both loved it so much I had to purchase another one. The enjoyment my two huge dogs got out of this toy is worth the cost. They know "squirrel" by name, and look so cute fishing them out. My smaller dog carries a squirrel with her just about everywhere, just like a pacifier. We're very happy with this toy."

my pooch loved this
Date: July 5, 2008
"It didn't take my 4 yr old min pin long to get bored with taking the squirrel babies out of the tree but I've had this toy for over a year and she has never lost interest in the squirrels. She's completely taken the stuffing and the squeakers out of them but she still carries their empty fabric carcasses around with her everywhere. They are her most favorite toys even unstuffed. I have to buy another one because the poor little squirrels are getting smaller by the minute. I wish I could just buy the squirrels:)"

Hide a ?
Date: May 1, 2008
"My chocolate lab loves this because it is really like 4 toys in one. Sometimes he brings us a squirrel and sometimes just the empty house. We also love to hide other treats in there with the squirrels and see how long it takes him to notice what is in there."

Finally - a toy of interest!
Date: April 20, 2008
"Our 3 year old standard poodle is not interested in toys - period. However, we've kept trying and at last after 3 years and countless donations to the local pet shelter, we've found one he will play with (albeit with encouragement and for a short period). Hurrah!
If PetCo ever wants to test toys, do we have a stern judge for you!

Great toy but not to durable
Date: April 3, 2008
"I wanna give this 5 paws but I Got this for my Chihuahua/Min Pin puppy on Sunday, by Tuesday he had ripped a hole in the bottom of the tree stump, and bent the plastic base inside ...the squirrels are pretty durable, they have survived minus the "hair" on the top of their heads...it probably would've lasted longer if they used a different material instead of faux fur"

Great fun!
Date: February 7, 2008
"I
purchased Hide a Squirrel for my Yorkie Puppy. It uses his natural
instinct to dig and retrieve.
He removed all the squirrels the first time I gave it to him. He then
loves to play and tumble with the soft log. It is such a perfect toy
for him that I then ordered a second one for the time that he needs a
replacement toy although that should not be soon as it is a very well
made.

Something your dog will go nuts over
Date: February 3, 2008
"Lulu got these 3 little squirrels as a Christmas present from my mom. She loves them and goes crazy for them. These are just the right bite size for smaller dogs. The openings on the log are big enough for a pugs nose to dig around and get the squirrels out. Lulu is very fond of plush toys, especially squeaky ones, and sometimes she even confuses herself over which squirrel to get. It's an educational and interactive toy that will keep your dog busy for hours. The only downside to this toy is that the squeakers didn't last very long. None the less, that doesn't affect how much Lulu loves playing with her squirrels. She still enjoys playing hide and seek and fetch with them."

"My dog loved this toy when she first got it. I would not recommend it for dogs who are really rough with toys though. Within the first week one of the squirrels split open."
