Product Description
The Squirrel Dude takes the hollow rubber toy to a new level. Four little rubber prongs block the hole ever so slightly so your dog has to work harder to get the goodies out. Tough and chewable. Wash and use it over and over again. The squirrels in our neighborhood aren't nearly this much fun!

 Squirrel Dude can get out of hand August 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
{THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE LARGE DUDE) My aussie mix and mom's visiting fox terrier love to compete to chase the squirrel dude down, but his bouncy action (which is cool, because even ace dogs can't predict where it's going and have more fun from the challenge)-- but it's heavy and means sometimes the little FT gets beaned pretty hard. Even our tough-girl aussie has been cruelly hit by this purple meanie. I took a star off for that, only one because I think buying a smaller size squirrel than you think you need could solve the problem. The other star off is for the lack of interest both dogs have in getting treats out of the SD even though I've cut off one of the treat-holders. Other reviewers had good ideas about that I will try. All that said, the humans in the house are very amused by this toy because he's so funny looking (and it's fun to yell "GET YOUR SQUIRREL DUDE!!") I'm going to buy the small size and bet that will be a five-star dog toy.

My dog is not very interested in a kong, but he loves the squirrel dude. It's one of his very favorite toys. I clipped one claw from the bottom to facilitate a better kibble flow, and it keeps him busy for about 10-15 minutes.

I normally use dog food to fill the squirrel and my dog goes to town on it! It does turn into a slobbery mess as he sits there and tries to lick out all the food. Before giving it to him I try to show him that by shaking it you can get the food out, but I don't think he understands. He gets most of the kibble out, except for the soggy ones that are towards the squirrel's head. I definitely recommend the squirrel especially since it is dishwasher safe and it has the prongs that controls the flow of things coming out. You don't have to deal with the peanut butter mess every time you try to stuff it like the Kong.
Just be creative with what you put in there and it's a phenomenal toy!!! December 6, 2007

I bought this for my Pembroke Welsh Corgi and at first, he didn't like it. The food wouldn't come out because it would get stuck in the purple knobs that hold the food in. So finally, I just cut those off and the food came out easier (but it's not like it poured out; very subtle). He was bored with his generic dog food I put in there so I got into chopping up carrots and celery and mixing them with peanut butter and freezing it, and Little Bear goes NUTS!!! He LOVES it! And it takes him a good 30-45 minutes to get everything out. Just as long as its frozen food with some sort of buffer (like peanut butter or Kong Stuff), its one of his favorite things. It's a pretty exhaustive process to get everything out for him, and he's pooped afterwards. He likes it more than his Kong balls I'd have to say.
A Great Buy! December 5, 2007

Our dog won't touch a toy unless it's filled with food. She's figured a lot of the puzzle toys out, and cleans out a classic Kong in record time. I really needed something to keep her occupied for an extended time, and Squirrel Dude is my man. It's similar to a classic Kong, except it has four flexible, triangular tabs in the opening. You can control the "flow" of food--simply leave the tabs as is to make the dog's job harder, or trim them so the food falls out faster. You'll have to gauge it based on the size of the treat you plan to use, and how dedicated your dog is. We like to fill this with smaller treats--kibble, bits of chicken jerky, Zuke's, and broken-up biscuits, so I just barely trimmed each tab and it works great. She'll work at this off and on all day, and sometimes will take longer than a day to empty it. We've had Squirrel Dude about six months--he takes a beating every day and has held up incredibly well. This was truly money well spent.
