Guest BobbiD Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Can anyone recommend good quality squeaky toys for hounds? the soft kind with stuffing. she doesn't tear them, just breaks the squeaker inside the toy. in less than a week she has broken a half dozen or so toys. I'm looking for something more durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyers Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I have not used them, but plan to get some soon. Dr foster and smith advertises these snakes that have squeaks that even if punctured will still fill with air. Might want to check them out http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3307+3+22923&pcatid=22923 I have never had good luck with toys with one exception. 4 Christmas' ago I bought several dog toys from the $2 bins at target. One was a Christmas tree and the other a wreath. They made the most obnoxious sounds because they "sang". The tree sang "o Christmas tree..." and the wreath "we wish you a merry Xmas". My husband was annoyed with those toys the second I came home with them. I told him not to worry as they would be "dead" by Christmas! Do you know those $2 plush toys sang for the next 3 years!!! Ohhhh the looks on hubby's face when JJ would play nonstop with them in June or July!!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nani Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 There are some that you put an empty plastic water bottle in. They don't squeak but crackle. When the bottle doesn't crackle very well anymore, just slip a new bottle inside. It works for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Surrender now! Very few squeaky toys hold their squeak for very long. There are some that are sold with a velcro opening so you can open them up and replace the squeaker. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

I saw those the other day online and could not wrap my head around that toy! I thought it was to "hold" a pets water bottle! Wow. Just wow. It's been a LONG time since I did something that dumb! :eek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Peggy hasn't managed to 'kill' her Skineez squirrel even after several months. It's plush, long and slinky just like a real one only it comes squashed flat like some kind of roadkill. (It's like the fox in the link) http://www.amazon.com/Skinneeez-Stuffing-Free-Dog-Toy/dp/B0018CIDTE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1319999674&sr=8-5 I've got quite adept at surgery on her other suffies, often transplanting vital 'organs' from a dead one into a nearly dead one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest itsagreytlife Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I bought a bunch of small, medium, & large replacement squeakers online (sit&stay has some or you can just google dog toy squeakers). They are very cheap and I have managed to save several of Selah's favorite buddies with a simple "operation." And I am no great sewer, that's for sure!

Any idea where you can find them these days? yeah, felix opened the velcro closure and killed the squeaker, don't waste your money. i go to the cheapie store, they seems to get $1-4 toys which regulary sell for way more and stock up. i only give them to the dogs when i feel guilty.

3greytjoys Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 These soft, durable toys (with multi-squeakers) are favorites for our hounds/fosters/visitors). Tuffie toys (including their squeakers) last for years around here, even with younger and more active chewer hounds. We started buying them because of a young major toy destroyer; plus, we didn't want soft toys that resembled kitties. http://www.tuffietoy...m/ultimate-ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snazzy_Chloe Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 No mention of the sqreaming monkeys from Cara at NorthcoastGreyhounds.net ??? Hers are the best - but my hounds don't eat the toys - she just plays with them but sure has a good time with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jbbuzby Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Ditto the tuffies toys, but also, Ferguson's favorite toy right now is the squeeze kong toys: http://www.amazon.com/KONG-Squeezz-Ring-Dog-Large/dp/B005191D9W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1320688522&sr=8-5. They come in different shapes, and last a long time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try this... except for the ones where the arms, ears, etc. have been mangled and shreaded of course! Ginger has a Skinneeez Plush Rabbit that she loves, but the squeekers only lasted a few hours, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
