DuraToy Minty Cow Squeaky Dog Toy
A teddy-shaped cow with two squeakers inside and a heavier fabric used on the arms and legs — the parts a dog actually takes hold of. It has a bit more substance in the hand than most soft toys this size.

DuraToy Minty Cow Squeaky Dog Toy
What makes this one different
A smooth pile, easy on the mouth and easy to carry about.
Watch a dog pick up a soft toy and you'll notice they almost always go for a limb first. Which makes it slightly odd that most makers use the same thin fabric everywhere.
The Minty Cow doesn't. The arms and legs use a heavier material than the body, so there is a bit more between a dog's teeth in the place they head for first. Combined with two squeakers rather than one, you get a toy that gives a result from several places rather than one obvious spot.
Soft plush outer
A smooth pile, easy on the mouth and easy to carry about.
Squeaker inside
One squeaker in the body, which is usually the first thing a dog goes looking for.
Light enough to carry
At 148g it is easy for a dog to pick up, shake and bring back to you.
Duratoy: durable dog chew toys in natural rubber
Every Duratoy is moulded from natural rubber that is non-allergenic and non-toxic, so the whole range suits dogs of all breeds. The shapes differ because dogs differ: some want something to gnaw, some want a game, and plenty want both.
For keen chewers and everyday dental care
The Heavy Duty Dumbbell is the one for dogs that chew everything: 17.5 x 7cm and 282g in thick natural rubber, made for medium to large dogs. The Knobbly Bone gives most dogs a slim chew that sits easily between the paws. Both carry raised bumps that help brush away loose plaque and massage the gums as your dog chews.
For treats and problem-solving
The Dumbbell Treat Dispenser is sized for puppies and small dogs, with a squeaker at the other end. The Oval Treat suits larger dogs and is bright enough to spot outdoors, and the Bowling Pin takes treats and wobbles for fetch.
For teething and fetch
The knobbly Faberge egg massages sore gums during teething. The Giggle Ball giggles as it rolls, and the Rugby Ball comes in two sizes for an unpredictable bounce.
All Duratoy toys wash clean with water, or a little mild soap. Supervise play, choose a size your dog cannot fit entirely in their mouth, and replace any toy that becomes worn or damaged.
How it is put together
What it is made of, and what is inside it.
It's a substantial thing at 148g, teddy-shaped rather than long, in pink, green, white and brown. You notice the weight when you pick it up next to the lighter toys in the range.
We'll be plain, because it matters. This is a soft plush toy with a squeaker in it, and that is all it is. The heavier fabric on the limbs is a nice detail, not a promise — it is not a chew toy, it will not survive a determined chewer, and the maker makes no such claim. DuraToy's rubber toys are the ones sold on durability; this is a different thing entirely. Supervise your dog with it and replace it once a seam goes.

Is it right for your dog?
Worth reading before you buy.
Supervised play
This is a plush toy, not a chew to leave a dog alone with. Stay in the room.
Moderate chewers
A dog who sets out to destroy a soft toy will manage it. For serious chewers, our natural rubber DuraToys are the right shelf.
Dogs first, cats at a push
Sized and built for dogs. Some cats take to them, but that is not what they are for.
Care and safety
The short version: watch it, and retire it when it goes.
This toy is not indestructible. Supervise your dog during play and discard the toy if it becomes ripped or damaged.
Check it over regularly
Look at the seams and any rope or trim before each play session. Damage gets worse quickly once it starts.
Retire it when it goes
Once a seam opens or the filling shows, take it away. A torn toy is a swallowing risk, not a cheaper toy.
Keep the squeaker inside
The squeaker is a small part. If it works loose, the toy is finished.
Frequently asked questions
What owners ask before they buy.
95% polyester, 5% EVA (as printed). Inside: Polyester and two squeakers
No. It is a plush toy for supervised play, and a determined dog will get through it. Check it over regularly and replace it once the seams start to go.
Yes. Every toy in the DuraToy plush range has one.
Not really. For a dog that chews hard, our natural rubber DuraToy range is built for the job; this range is not.
