DuraToy Stripey Horse Crinkle Squeaky Dog Toy
A white horse with a fine striped texture running through the pile, and crackly plastic tucked into the ears, arms and legs. There’s a squeaker inside too, so a dog gets a different noise depending on which bit they’ve got hold of.

DuraToy Stripey Horse Crinkle Squeaky Dog Toy
What makes this one different
A smooth pile, easy on the mouth and easy to carry about.
There's a reason dogs go for the ears and legs of a soft toy first. They're the bits that stick out, and they're the easiest thing to get a proper grip on.
Whoever designed the Stripey Horse seems to have noticed. The crackly plastic sits in the ears, arms and legs rather than in the middle of the body, so the parts a dog naturally grabs are the parts that reward them. There's a squeaker in the body as well, which gives a second, different noise. The result is a toy that keeps a dog moving around it instead of fixating on one seam.
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.
Rope to pull against
Rope threaded through the toy, so a game of tug pulls against rope rather than a seam.
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.
At 152g he's got a bit of substance to him without being heavy, and the striped, textured pile gives something to chew at. White, so he will not stay white — worth knowing, and worth the care label we sadly can't give you.
The maker's tag is straightforward: this is not indestructible and needs supervision. That's our view too. Watch your dog with it and replace it once the plastic starts showing through.

Why owners pick this one
What it actually does around the house.
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.
Rope to pull against
Rope threaded through the toy, so a game of tug pulls against rope rather than a seam.
Suits
Moderate chewers, supervised play.
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.
Yes, gently and with you there. The rope runs through the toy rather than being stitched on, so a pull works against rope instead of a seam. It is still a soft toy, not a rope toy.
95% polyester, 5% EVA (as printed). Inside: Plastic in the ears, arms and legs, and a squeaker inside
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.
