This hide and seek puzzle toy from Outward Hound is one of the easiest ways to keep your four-legged friend entertained for hours. Just toss three soft squirrels into the plush tree trunk and toss it to your pup and they’ll stay stimulated for hours as their hunting instincts kick in as they try to dig up the squirrels. Plus, it’s also a two-for dog toy. You can also get a good game of fetch by tossing them ghastly squirrels.
It is also a great toy for dogs that have teeth and gum problems. The soft and fluffy material does not damage their teeth. Of course, as with all dog toys, remember to supervise your dog when they are playing alone. These toys are not designed to be indestructible so you should replace them if they are damaged.

“My dogs are very rarely obsessed with a toy, but they were going crazy trying to steal this one from each other!” said one reviewer.
“When I’m working and he’s bored, this game will come up and keep him busy while I work,” said another reviewer. “We’ve had it for a year now and she still loves it and it’s held up very well. Sometimes she’ll even grab the tank and shake it like crazy. She’s not very gentle with it but it’s held up very well.”
“He loves, loves, loves the little squirrels – they are his little babies and he loves to hold them,” said another reviewer who bought this for a puppy. “The cat really likes the little squirrels too. What a great toy, a keeper for sure.”
