We also have a dog toy ball similar to that, the same size but made of plastic and when squeezed, it emits a squeak together with a light. It is the toy of Barbie given by our laundrywoman. Barbies loves it so much and plays with it until she pants for breath. However, it didn't take long before Barbie was able to destroy the squeaker which came off and got inside the plastic ball. Now she still plays with the ball but there is no more light and no more squeak. It's quite corny to her.

Believe me, my song is the same.

Infact no, it's a SYMPHONY of squeaking and gnawing. But I care for them too much to tell them to stop it haha.

Doesn't really bother me that much, I'm deaf in my left ear since I was like 14 so if it drives me crazy I just lay down on my right ear.

Ah, the squeaky toys. The puppies love them to death, while I am startled every time I hear another squeak I don't expect. Even the worn-down toys that don't look like they have another minute of life in them will occasionally surprise you with the squeaks.

I usually try to tolerate it for as long as I can, but I always keep silent toys nearby to swap the squeaky stuff out when I can no longer stand it.

I stopped buying squeak toys for my dogs a long time ago because it'll drive you insane. If you are unwilling to cut out the squeaker, you might be able to pop it out by pressing under it so it reverses. Some of them work that way, if the manufacturers didn't put a clue or melted plastic on it to secure it. Then you should be able to cut it off.

Another solution is to find a similar snake toy that doesn't squeak to slowly replace it. Start by letting you dog have both of them. The slowly misplace the squeaky one so that your dog get used to playing with the non-squeaky one. Eventually get rid of the sneak toy and never buy a new one without removing the squeaker.

I have misophonia. In other words, even the sound of my dog's tongue squishing against the rubber edge of a ball will make crap hit the fan. I had to go the route of those toys with squeakers that only dogs can hear. The issue with that is during play I never know if I'm actually hitting the squeaker or not. Not that it matters, since my boy pretty much loves any toy he receives.

Still, there is then the matter of Nylabones and whatnot clattering ruthlessly against the hardwood floors. When we lived in an apartment complex, I used to wince every time my dog threw his chew sticks and balls. I could only image how terrible that sounded to the man living below us.

I have a funny story much related to this very subject. Our dog Petey has a myriad of toys and one we bought had three squeakers. It drove my dad nuts too, so he carefully removed the squeakers when Petey was sleeping. When Petey woke up, he went to the toy and played with it over and over. You could tell he was puzzled because he couldn't make it squeak. He finally kept bringing to everyone in the house (something he NEVER does) as to tell us it's broken. He was so heartbroken that we went to three different pet stores to find the exact same toy to replace it. Now, my dad only lets him play with it when he's gone or on occasion and then he puts it up, out of eyesight. He never actually takes it from him, but when he goes to let him outside, that's usually when the special toy does the disappearing act until its next appearance. He has plenty of other non-squeak toys, so he's not without entertainment. Of course, my dad is his biggest source of entertainment anyway.

My dog is nut for squeaky toys, and he would try to do what we ask of him, such as mimicking the sound of "I love you". Though the ones I bought for him all said that they are indestructible, they are not so! Give it to my dog, and he can rip it apart after 15 minutes.

I usually put the squeaky toys out of sight when we can't take it anymore and only let him play with it every other day. He always looks for them though.

My sweet girl has one squeaky toy and that's it. Not to say she doesn't have any other toys but only one of them squeaks. She had two but chewed and destroyed one of them to bits so I replaced it with another, much quieter toy. Luckily for me she loves that one even more and barely looks at the squeaky one. And to make sure I have a same one when the new beloved toy is destroyed, because let's face it, they all get destroyed. I bought 3 more of them.

My Jack Russell has one mission when it comes to squeaky toys.....kill.
He has never had a squeeky toy where the squeeky bit hasn't been ripped out within 5 minutes, until that squeak has died George will not rest. So we can buy as many squeaky toys as we want and rest easy that we will never hear a sound....Good George.

I can relate to you completely, one of my dogs used to have an squeaky toy few years ago and he loved it, and of course, the squeak never stopped. He is used to lost toys and he losted that toy, and that was like heaven for our ears, so everytime we think about getting any of my dogs a toy we make sure that is not squeaky, maybe you should consider buying your dog a non squeaky toy, it worked for us.

Good luck! :p
