Outward Hound Durablez Tough Plush Squeaky Dog Toy, Snake, Blue, XL

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my two dachshunds. This thing is huge! It came in a long, thin box. I wish I’d taken a picture; it was like 4’ long. When it was delivered I had no idea what it could possibly be. A Red Rider B.B. gun? But it makes for nice visual variety when all your packages are grouped together: a nice vertical piece to draw the eye.Outside the box, the snake itself is an eye-catcher as well. It’s bold and brightly colored, as pictured. He’s very cheerful-looking. (We named him Justin Long, aka Mr. Long; my dogs learn their toys’ names, I swear.) He’s very much like his name. He’s about 2 feet long and rather very heavy. The durability comes from a very thick, sturdy firehose-like material, with a plush covering over it, as well as very very thick seams. He is very big, with nice, big squeakers. I can’t tell if they truly continue to squeak even after being punctured, because my crew hasn’t been interested in even *trying* to take that as the direct challenge they would usually interpret it as. Normally they will wail on a squeaker until they break it. It’s all about swift, efficient death and destruction for them. They’re not like cats.This would be a great toy for a BIG dog, but for dachshunds; he’s just too big and heavy. I want something indestructible, but it needs to be small enough for my guys to shake to death. (It’s their instinct.) Mr. Long is too much for them. They’re not really chewers so much as killing machines. They like realistic woodland critters, though their favorite has been the Loofah Dog that had the prerequisite squeakers (to mimic sequels and screams) *and* a bone inside that they could really focus on trying to snap by shaking it violently. Unfortunately, that toy had stuffing, and dachshunds’ duty, and tradition, once they’ve made the kill, is to slowly pull out all its guts, or in this case, stuffing. Everywhere.Mr. Long has no stuffing, nor does he even have a nose, ears, or limbs to gnaw, twist, tug, and tear at. I should’ve realized that might make him boring for dogs bred to kill rats. Their other stuffing-free toys have their protuberances carefully, determinedly chewed off, which makes up for there being no guts to glory in.I think this toy is suitable for heavy chewers who like to wail on squeakers and who are big enough that he doesn’t overwhelm them. I thought getting a long toy would enable my wieners to share, and play tug, but it’s not happening. However, that’s not the toy’s fault. I bought a toy that doesn’t suit my dogs’ needs. I didn’t pay enough attention to his dimensions, either. I just focused on finding a toy that had squeakers that lasted more than 5 minutes, and had no stuffing. But I done goofed by not thinking beyond that.So, I rate it 4 stars, because even though it’s a failure at my house, I can see its appeal and its desirable qualities. I’m just not sure I know which breed of dog *would* love this toy at these dimensions in this form. I actually think it might even be great for a human toddler, as long as those eyes are secure, which they ought to be. It’s cute and bright and fun and silly and my nephew would’ve loved it as a wee one. He had a plush snake but it didn’t have these awesome squeakers. I may test it on my neighbors kids! I don’t have to listen to it! 😇

the build quality seems great, the seams are well done and the material is tough. the varied textures are a nice touch, and it's surprisingly large (more chew space!). unfortunately my 80lb monster is so scared of it he won't sleep on his bed if he can see it. he destroys most toys in short order, but gives cute blue nubby snake an incredibly wide berth and won't touch it. so looks like this one will last a while.*update* - after 2 months of completely avoiding the snake, the beast suddenly loves this thing. it's hilarious to see him running full-spring through the yard with 3 feet of blue floppy snake flapping. it's finally a hit.

So far, this is only the second toy we have found that our adorable puppy cannot destroy. He is a 90 pound Cane Corso mix, who can destroy just about anything in one evening. He’s been playing with this toy for three days now, and he has not been able to chew through it. Of course, we are supervising him, but still. I’m impressed. And he absolutely loves it. He goes wild every time we bring it out. I bought the XXL size, and he drags it around the house, so proud of himself. The only other toy he has not been able to destroy is a Kong xtreme. Super happy with this purchase. We will see how long it lasts…....AND.... It's a few days in, and he has managed to chew a hole in it. Nice that there's no stuffing everywhere, but still... I'm a little concerned that the little balls that rattle inside are a hazard- he chewed a hole in the plastic casing that holds them. I'll take out that component, and sew it back together. But the verdict is, although this toy is awesome, and the puppy loves it, it's FAR from "indestructible."

Our dog has two other Invincibles toys, and they have lasted a very long time. Though he was thrilled with playing with the longer toy, he easily destroyed it within 3 days. Darn!

We have so many of the outward hound squeakers. This is the only brand/toy I can leave out 24/7 unattended that my dogs won't destroy and eat. My Heeler mix goes bonker for this toy (2 different shapes) and he runs happily through house squeaking non-stop. Buy this toy if you have a dog that loves to play!

I’ve gotten thes for my Pomchi in the past and she’s loved them. Was great for both of my dogs to play together, but less than a week before my 40lb Beabull pup destroyed it and started eating the shredded part.

Dog toys don't last too long but this one still looks good and it is the toy of choice for a dog tug of war.

何年も前に購入後　ワンちゃんの1番のお気に入りで古くなってしまったので新しいのを探していました　作りがしっかりしているので破壊好きのうちの子でも長持ちするのでありがたいです

大きなオモチャにワンコも大興奮でしたそして、数分もたたないうちに穴を空けられました( ；∀；)可愛いので修繕して使います

My medium sized maltipoo tore a hole within an hour. The green bits comes off easily as well. Think my dog ate quite a good amount of it

Dieses Hundespielzeug ist genial, eben auch für Terriergebisse. Der Hund liebt es, und es hält sehr lange dem Gebiss stand. Der letzte 6 Monate!Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen, habe andere Produkte, auch dieser Firma ausprobiert. Aber diese Schlange ist so gut verarbeitet!

allerdings halten diese Quietschdingee bei einem Dackel nicht ewig
