 A Great Buy! Dec 05, 2007
By Ferris Bueller
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.

Just be creative with what you put in there and it's a phenomenal toy!!! Dec 06, 2007
By L. Kubik
"rock3princess"
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.

Stronger than Kong! Sep 23, 2008
By J. Harris
"Weim lover"
We don't put kibble in our squirrel buddy, as my two girls will fight to the death over it. I do, however, put some peanut butter inside the opening each morning when I leave for work. Keeps them busy for a good little while. The squirrel buddy is stronger than Kong -- my mild-mannered, but very persistent 60 pound Weimaraner destroyed two Kongs -- one regular and one heavy-duty. She hasn't managed to chew up the squirrel. Other toys from the same company haven't fared as well against her, but the squirrel continues to survive my ferocious chewers. Ordering three more!

 Danger for Some Dogs Oct 04, 2010
By B.A.N.
We've had this toy for quite some time, and originally thought it was better than a Kong because it held the treats more securely and was a greater challenge for our aussie.
Today, however, we came home to find that the toy had gotten stuck on his lower jaw. I would not have thought this was possible, given the size of the opening. But apparently the prongs and the type of rubber combined to create a situation where the bottom half of his jaw became stuck in the toy. He was in pain, and it was an ordeal getting it off.
Of course, once it came off it went into the trash.
I never would have thought that his jaw would fit in the opening. Our pup is intense and focused, so if you have a more passive dog this problem might not arise.

Chewed up in 5 minutes Jun 23, 2010
By bsluggy
My local independent pet store highly recommended the large Squirrel Dude for my big dog who loves to chew. I gave it to him, and he had chewed off the head in less than five minutes. He was starting to swallow the rubber chunks he chewed off. I'm getting a refund. The label said that this toy "is not considered indestructible" -- no kidding!
