Outward Hound HedgehogZ Squeaky Plush Dog Toy

The day we got my puppy, we got him a hedgehog toy from a pet store. It was his favorite for over a year and then some friends big dogs tore it up. He carried around the shreds of his hedgehog for a while until I found this one as a replacement. My puppy loves it! He carries it around and loves to play fetch and squeak it! My dog is a 15lbs cavapoo and he can carry it and run pretty easily, but any bigger and he would not. I think this size could also be suitable for a larger dog- if they’re stuffed animal friendly! We have had it for a few weeks of fetch, tug of war, and solo play/chewing and it seems to be holding up just fine!

My guy likes to carry around his squeaky plush toys but they all have a missing peice or two.. I thought the round build might make it harder to pull it's head off.. but he tore off a leg and then tore into it and destroyed it fast and to the point where he won't get to carry this one around at all. He loved it for the moment he had it. But we were both disappointed when I had to take it away.

This Hedgehog is well loved. It's durable, has great squeakers, is a great size, and a lot of fun for my 3 dogs (all different sizes). Two of my dogs are big chewers, so we've had to do some sewing but we've had it since May & it's still in pretty good shape. We definitely recommend it.

We rescued two litter mate pups when they were 8 weeks old; one male, one female. For some reason the female, Minnie, decided very early on that a stuffed hedgehog would become her "pacifier". Now over two years later we ensure she is kept in an ongoing supply of stuffed hedgehogs. So, when ordering dog food from Chewey I saw a sale on hedgehogs I of course added them to our order and Minnie continues to soothe herself with her favorite stuffed animal.

Our labs usually tear apart toys in a week or less...one mission is to find and extract the squeaker! This Hedgehog has lasted months and still shows no signs of losing a seam or coming apart...and bonus, no extra fuzzies left behind on the floor to clean up! Fits well in a big dog's mouth.

Our newly adopted beagle seems to like smaller squeaky toys. He loved the small one we got from Chewy, but the bigger ones will be going to the church yard sale. That’s fine. Now we know what kind of toys to order for him.

We bought this before we brought our 6 week old puppy home. He loved playing with it but just after a few weeks we notice the stitching start to give way. We were going to sew it up but when we looked closer it seemed that the fabric was completely unraveling. I’m not sure if we got a bad apple but this toy just simply didn’t last with a 5lb puppy.

Wow, I got the large because I'm a real fan of the honking/coughing sound these larger ones make. I didn't see the size measurements and WOW....it's HUGE. It's the same size as a good sized Yorkie (not the itty bitty "I can fit in a clutch purse" size, but the ones that run closer to 7-8 pounds of hard working terriers). My Yorkie isn't so sure about this toy, and it's even too big for my pibble to play with! I'm passing them off to a local rescue that has a need for large toys for large dogs. For the money, this is a great toy! I'm impressed at the size given the cost and would absolutely recommend this if you have a BIG dog or one that loves to play BIG.

It's very durable, my dachshund usually goes through plush toys quickly and leaves the stuffing for us to clean up. This one has stayed together through many "vicious" encounters.

I have a 7 year old 75lb boxer/pit mix...very stout & muscular. He’s always loved a stuffed “baby” with squeakers inside, but they don’t usually last long (a couple of hours- to maybe a couple of days at most). I was lucky enough to get the size large of this toy on sale for $3.68 each (I bought 3) several months back. He’s still on the 1st one! Of course he also has other toys to occupy his time (hard rubber textured chewing wishbone is his next fav). These are not necessarily more durable- but they’re size appropriate (kind of...they’re actually bigger than his head and he thinks that’s awesome!) -so he just plays with it more...shaking it so rapidly, tossing it into the air to chase it himself I have a 7 year old 75lb boxer/pit mix...very stout & muscular.

Also, he LOVES that it has both a squeaker and a honker (?pig snorting sound) inside. I came back to buy more for a couple of friends’ dogs- but see that they’ve gone up/nearly doubled in price now. I’ll make sure to buy more when the price goes down. … more
