In terms of appeal, both of my dogs really like this toy. They seem to love the idea of finally bagging a squirrel which have always elusively teased both of them for years in the park. And they might love the idea a little too much -- they disemboweled the squirrel within about 24 hours.
There are squeakers in the tail and in the body of the squirrel. The tail is made of an odd material that is almost like fluffy horse hair, which, if you have a dog that chews on toys at all, you will find all over your carpet, couch, and bed for the first few days after this arrives. Both squeakers were out of the squirrels body within about 48 hours. My dogs continued to chew on the squeakers separately from the remainder of the toy, only from what I can assume is the desire to destroy what they think is the squirrel's soul after tearing up its body.
Overall, since they still play with the emptied-out body that is missing half its tail, it will still have some use beyond the first few days it came, so it warrants 2 stars.

The squirrel lasted less than 48 hours. Generally the least expensive stuffed toys from pet stores last 3 to 4 months before the fabric rips. My dog likes to "kill" the toy, have someone throw it, retrieve it, play tug-of-war and start the process again. In a matter of minutes the fur was coming off. After the third or forth "kill," stuffing was flying all over the living room. Never have I bought a toy that fell apart as quickly as did this squirrel. I will sew the rips and see if we can get another few hours of play as my dog really liked the toy.

My Lab loves this toy,its her baby. We've tried getting different kinds of squirrels but she won't play with them. We've gone through many of these because she likes to play tug of war with them.

My mother bought this plush squirrel for my dog since he loves to chase real squirrels outside. This is easily one of his favorite toys. He loves to chase after it if I throw it and will spend a lot of time shaking and wrestling with it. Unfortunately I've learned it's a toy that he can only play with under supervision. He loves to chew and I found that within a matter of a few days he had chewed one of the feet off and was proceeding to try to eat the stuffing out of the center of the toy. I still let him play with it but only for small intervals at a time and only if I can watch him. The bottom line is this, it's a fun toy but no more durable than your average dog toy. If your dog destroys your average toy chances are he'll chew through this as well. It's great when I can watch him but for unsupervised play I'll only leave him with something like a kong or a Everlasting Treat Ball Large. I feel much more comfortable with those that I can leave him alone and not come home to find he has ingested something he shouldn't have.

My little monster (a golden retriever) absolutely goes crazy for this toy. He usually carries it everywhere with him, and if he happens to be outside without it and someone comes over, he has to run in to get it to show it to them. He's also a toy-shredder as some of the other dogs here, but in my experience this toy holds up very well to his manic episodes. The only problem I really have is trying to keep it clean, since he loves to repeatedly bury and dig it up. I buy him a new one every 5 or 6 months as a treat and it's probably the happiest time of the year for him. He has a small stash of them now that he keeps behind his bed.
Great product, especially for the price. A minor annoyance is that he's decided the squeaking is a fun way for him to get me out of bed to play with him.
