Overview
Some toys don't survive the first play session with a determined chewer — but the Outward Hound Durablez Snake is built to go the distance. As cute as they are tough, this plush snake is the ultimate combination of cuddly softness and real durability. Don't let the plush exterior fool you — built with Outward Hound's signature K-9 Tuff Guard construction, strong binding, and a tough interior layer, it's designed to withstand enthusiastic play sessions while still being the kind of toy your dog wants to curl up with when the fun is done.
Part of the Shine Pets tough dog toys NZ range, the Durablez Snake is stuffing-free for all the fun without the clean-up headache. Six sealed squeakers run from head to tail, keeping the noise going even after a bite or two — the longer the toy, the more squeakers, ensuring an engaging experience for your furry friend.
Product Features
-
Squeakers that keep going: Each of the six Durablez squeakers is sealed so it keeps making noise even after being punctured — the game doesn't stop just because your dog got a good bite in.
-
K-9 Tuff Guard construction: Outward Hound's signature tough interior layer and strong binding give this snake significantly more staying power than a standard plush toy.
-
No stuffing, no mess: Without any filling inside, there's nothing to scatter across the floor when play gets enthusiastic. Safer for dogs that like to chew through soft toys too.
-
Double-layered seams: Every seam is reinforced to resist splitting during tugging and shaking — a small detail that makes a real difference over time.
-
Fetch, toss, tug — or cuddle: The long snake shape is easy to grab and carry. When playtime is over, it makes a great cuddle companion too.

Benefits
If your dog has a habit of going through toys quickly, the Durablez Snake offers the best of both worlds — the comforting feel of plush with the durability to actually last. The constant squeak keeps them engaged, the long shape is easy to carry and tug, and the no-stuffing design means less mess for you. A solid choice for medium to large dogs who love to shake and tug — and smaller dogs who just want something satisfying to carry around.
Usage Instructions
Let your dog play under supervision until you know how they handle the toy. Works well indoors or outdoors for fetch, tug, or solo play, NOT CHEWING! If your dog is a heavy chewer, check the toy periodically for wear and replace it once it shows significant damage.
Important Note from the Manufacturer
Because no plush toy is truly indestructible — especially if the dog is an enthusiastic chewer — although the Durablez Snake is more durable than traditional plush toys, it is the owner's responsibility to supervise the dog during play.
Compatibility
Best suited to medium and large dogs who love to tug, shake, and carry toys. Smaller dogs can enjoy it too — the soft but sturdy body is easy to grab and shake.
