Palette's note: Hide A Squirrel Animal Puzzle

 Have you ever wondered if you could actually see how other dogs are enjoying the products before purchasing one? Not just pictures,but in video so that you can actually SEE how the products are being used? I have started series titled "Palette's Note", which you can read about products detail and see video clips from Palette's taste test.

  This time,it is not about treats. I like to put out detail on Hide A Squirrel Animal Puzzle .



 Hide A Squirrel Animal Puzzle



Squeaky Squirrels..

 Hide A Squirrel Animal Puzzle is an interactive toy; a toy that let dogs "think" to play. As you can see in the picture above, in the plush tree toys, you can place squeaky squirrels just like they are peeking through the tree hole and idea is that dogs are to use eyes,nose,paws,muzzle and take the hiding squeaky squirrels out from the plush tree.

 Measurement of the toys are 7"x7" tree size, and the toy comes with 3 squeaky squirrels. The squeaky squirrel is 4.5" from head to butt,and it has about 3" long tail. The hole of the tree is about 2.5" to 3". Good size hole for dogs to put their muzzle in and taking the hiding squirrels out.

 This toy is actually one of the Birthday present toys I got for Palette. Our dog "Palette" goes nuts enough to do a high gator jump with half spin in the mid air from too much excitement when she sees this toy.This is one of the reasons why I decided to offer this fun toy for other furry friends too.

 Can you see how much she gets excited for this Hide A Squirrel Animal Puzzle toy? You have seen a bit of jump in the video, and you can hear her sniffing sound, and you see the eyes,paws,nose,muzzle action with this toy.

 After all squeaky squirrels were taken out from the plush tree, Palette walked to the plush tree,put her head all the way into the toy,sniffing a lot and she was making sure nothing was left there.



Sniff,sniff.. Anybody in there?-Palette

 
Now, after all the squeaky squirrels were taken out from the plush tree, another fun for Palette. It's squeaky time! I told her nothing about how to squeak the squirrels. So, she had to figure out by herself.

 Videos bellow were taped when she first tried to squeak the squeaky squirrels. Can she figure out by herself?

 This is Palette's squeaky squirrels' sound demo for other furriends. - Palette

 This toy comes with 3 squeaky squirrel with one plush tree, but you can put all kinds of thing in the plush tree. It does not have to be the exact squeaky squirrels that come with. You can put other toys in the tree, you can put small bits of treats in the plush tree.. You can be creative with it.

 Other Birthday toys I got for her was another interactive toys. I am a big fan of interactive toys because it lets your dogs to "Think" to play and personally, I think it is good for mental exercise just like training time.

 The particular toy seem to be popular among retailers but would the product gets as much excitement as this Hide A Squirrel Animal puzzle toy? Is it as good as this Hide A Squirrel Animal puzzle toy?

Product A.



This is a plush toy that has..



3 Eggs in the plush toy...



 The Egg is roughly about 3.5"...

 As a concept of the toy, I liked it and, thought it nice toy but..I found a few problems.

1. The opening of the toy is described as elastic opening but it stretched to about 3.5" , and it is a little tight for me to put squeaky eggs especially the last 3rd squeaky egg

2. If you put the 3 squeaky eggs enough to goes in all the way, when dogs are trying to grab the squeaky egg with mouth, they can use just front teeth to grab about 1/4" of the squeaky egg and even if using both paws to hold the toy to get the squeaky egg out, it is very tight and hard for them to take the squeaky eggs out  from the plush toys. I wish the opening were more elastic or bigger opening for easy grab and removal. I would think that making the nice size opening on back bone area might be good.

 Palette got so frustrated for the fact that she cannot get the squeaky eggs out no matter how many times she tried with paw holding and grabbing the squeaky eggs with front teeth to pull, she tried to chew on outside of the frog. Maybe she thought if she chew from outside the toy, she could take the squeaky eggs out.

3. Only way they can easily take the squeaky egg out is to place the squeaky egg half way out from the opening.

4. Another one I found is that, when all the squeaky eggs are out, your dogs may find this inside..



 I suppose the white cloth is there to prevent squeaky eggs to travel to too far edge of the toy, but this thing got Palette's so much attention and she tried to rip if off. I had to take the toy away from her.

 However, not all fun were taken away. Palette and I have found that the squeaky eggs are actually nice for fetch ball game. Since squeaky eggs are not perfect round, when the squeaky eggs bounce on the ground, it is unpredictable where the squeaky eggs would bounce back. Plus, she can come back to me squeaking the squeaky eggs.

 Palette and I have great time playing fetch squeaky eggs game. She put her tongue hanging out from mouth and so talkative and very excited for the next throw.

 So, you would not find the particular toy at our online store, but you might for the squeaky eggs itself someday.

  Over all, I like Hide A Squirrel Animal Puzzle better than the particular toy above and Palette loves the Hide A Squirrel toy a lot. She had her nice special day with special toys.
