Stolen her heart
Hedgehog – Large
I brought my girl into the store and the second I turned my head, she grabbed this hedgehog and made a break for the front doors. I jad to chase her through the store. We put it back and she did again. I was like we really need this toy. Emotional support hedgehog is her best friend, she gently carries him around and sleeps with him every night.
Don’t tell Shelby her brother got ahold of him one day and I had to go back and buy a new one because he ripped him open to get the squeaker. I should probably buy a few extra to keep in the closet for when it happens again.
Hi Vanessa! Thanks so much for the amazing review! It sounds like Shelby’s a determined little shopper! 😄 As fellow pet parents, we know how meaningful and special it is when our pups find their special companions. And no matter how many times we hear stories like that, it’s always so heartwarming!
As for her brother’s squeaker heist — don’t worry, we won’t tell Shelby. 😉 But it might be a good idea to start that emergency hedgehog stash! 😁
Thank you again for sharing such an adorable story! Please give Shelby some extra snuggles from all of us at ZippyPaws!

Number 1 Favorite Toy
Hedgehog – Large
My dog LOVES this toy. He carries it all around the house. He often holds the hedgehog between his front paws and chews on the nose. It’s like a pacifier for him. Sometimes he falls asleep, still holding the hedgehog. He even uses it as a pillow. Rummy has other toys, but nothing compares to his the hedgehog.
That's absolutely lovely to hear! We love that our Hedgehog toy has become a companion and a source of comfort for Rummy. We sure hope it holds up well for a really long time. Thanks for the feedback!

DOGS BEST FRIEND
Hedgehog – Large
Our boy absolutely LOVES this toy. All we have to say is “Go get your best friend” and bolts and grabs it!! lol. I got his first one at a store and was so sad when I realized it was starting to rip. I hid it from him in hopes of maybe stitching it back together but it was mangles. He loves on it every single day so it was expected but then I went on ZippyPaws site and was SO HAPPY I could order another. I made the swap and just like that my boy had his best friend back. He got the wiggles and zoomies. I was so cute. Please keep this toy forever!!!! 🙂
This made our day, Kait! 🥰 So happy to hear how much your boy Spikey loves his “best friend”. Our hedgehogs get so much love, and we’ll definitely do our best to keep this toy around for all the happy pups out there! 😊

Poor Hedgehog...
Hedgehog – Large
Found this at Ross when Sequoyah (golden retriever) was 8 weeks old. Instant favorite. As soon as he gets the zoomies and needs to destroy the universe, he grabs it and humps the air in between shaking it like a madpuppy. I think it’s (the toy) going to need extensive therapy in the future. Thanks Zippypaws!

Ruger absolutely loves this hedgehog
Hedgehog – Large
This is my dogs absolute favorite squeaky toy!! His day is never complete until he spends at least 5 minutes straight squeaking this thing. We just pause our tv show and let him have his time. We will be soooo sad if this is ever discontinued.

'Henry' The Hedgehog
Hedgehog – Large
Sawyer’s Dad got this for him for Christmas last year, he fell in love instantly! We named him Henry, at night we tell Sawyer “It’s bed time, go get Henry”, he finds him and runs down the hall to hop into bed. Sawyer has the nickname The Destroyer, but his hedgehog has stood up pretty well. Henry’s nose is getting a little worn from being carried around and played with so much, so we may need to pick up a replacement to have on hand when THAT day comes 😉

Hedgehog – Large
Three years ago I bought a ZippyPaws large hedgehog at a retail store. My dog loved it, especially the squeeker, which is very expressive. That one lasted about 18 months, then the squeeker died. That seemed like a pretty durable toy, so I ordered another direct from ZippyPaws. It lasted less than 3 months. I tried two more, with the same result. I was really happy with the first one, but not anymore. They are not durable enough. I won’t order them again.
We are so sorry that you had a negative experience with our hedgehog toy. For many canines, soft and noisy toys awaken their inner wolf. You may have pinpointed your dog’s destructive motivation and now you can choose a different toy that can withstand his savage play style! Try our TPR line and see how he does.

Absolutely incessant in the best way
Hedgehog – Large
Nothing squeaks like this thing. My dogs will fight over it any chance they get! This is a: take it and hire it at bedtime toy in our house, a rare title! I found it at a local pet store but I’m about to order 3 backups online. Large chow and small chow mix completely enamored (bordering on obsessed) with this toy. Highly recommend

BEST.TOY.EVER
Hedgehog – Large
We found our Zippy Paws large hedgehog at a store local to us. Our Newfoundland pup absolutely loves this toy. It squeaks with practically no pressure applied, so this toy is not for easily annoyed pawrents. We’ve only had it for about a week, but we’ve already bought 3 more as back-ups. He runs around with this hedgehog every chance he gets, squeaking it the whole way. Absolutely love this toy.
