Holiday dog toys tend to have two settings: cute in the product photo, and then, well, not so cute once your dog gets five minutes alone with them. That’s why the BBeary Reindeer Squeaky Plush Dog Toy is having a moment. Reviewers keep saying the same thing: it’s festive, fun, and surprisingly “strong, durable and already a favorite” even in homes with big, energetic pups who usually rip holiday dog toys open before the tree lights fully warm up.
A lot of the love comes down to the construction of the festive dog toy. Shoppers keep pointing out thoughtful details — like the stitched facial features — which one reviewer said they specifically look for “when purchasing toys for my young Labradors.” Pair that with thicker plush fabric and sturdier seams than you’d expect at this price, and suddenly a cute seasonal toy becomes one that actually survives a tug match or two.

And then there’s the noise factor, which many reviewers admit is what pushed their dogs over the edge into full obsession. The belly has a secure squeaker, while the antlers, ears, and tail are packed with crinkle material. One reviewer said their dog was “absolutely besotted with the noise and texture,” adding that the reindeer instantly replaced his old squeaky rabbit. Another shared, “My dog loved it from the moment he saw me take it out of the box… he’s been running around the house with it since.”
Big-dog owners are especially enthusiastic. A shopper with two Labs described it as “very strong and durable,” noting that the rope legs make it ideal for tug-of-war. And even the squeaker-seekers — the dogs who treat every plush toy like a mission — aren’t ruining the fun. One reviewer said, “2/3 of them like to tear the squeakers out first thing,” but still gave it a “definitely a 10/10,” explaining that their pups happily play with “the shell of the toy” afterward.
Multiple people with notoriously tough chewers echo the same thing: the fabric feels thicker than most plush toys, the stitching holds up, and the squeaker is better protected than expected for something that costs $10.
So if your dog’s holiday toys usually end up in a sad little pile of fluff by the weekend, this cheerful reindeer squeaker plush dog toy might be the one that makes it to New Year’s. And judging from the reviews, your pup may be just as smitten as the dogs who wouldn’t even let their humans grab a beauty shot before running off with it. At just $10, why not give it a try for the pup in your life?
