I love the brand of this toy, however, I'm either not using it right, or it does not provide enough incentive to play with it. Even though I cut one of the rubber bumpers, it seems my dog still has a hard time getting the treats out. He gets a little bored with this toy.

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!

My dogs LOVE this toy and I love it too because it keeps them entertained for a long time. It is high quality too. My dogs destroy many toys because they chew right through them, but not this one. I like Kong toys too, but these are my favorite because of the prongs. They keep the treat in longer and make them work for it harder.

{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.

The previous reviewer complained about treats not coming out...but that can be fixed. The beauty of the Squirrel Dude over the Kong is that it has "fingers" over the opening that can be cut down to accommodate whatever size food/treats you want to put in there. I do prefer the Kong, but this is nice for smaller items that would fall out of the Kong without being jammed in by something else. I'm going to order the Bamboo 810165 Toy Cleaning Brush to clean this little guy and my Kongs, as it looks like a good idea.
