What Makes It Different

Its ultra-soft faux fur dog toy exterior is gentle on sensitive gums and teeth, while the built-in squeaker (Small size) or grunter (Medium, Large, XL) keeps dogs mentally engaged and physically active. The lightweight design makes it perfect for fetch, tug, and solo play — and its comforting texture makes it a favorite naptime companion too.
Available in four sizes, there's a Hedgehogz for every dog — from tiny toy breeds to large and extra-large dogs who need a plush squeaky dog toy that can keep up. If you're looking for a durable alternative, check out the fireor stuffing plush bundle for dogs who love to de-stuff their toys.
