I also created a couple custom toys for my dog.
Tip: take one or two squeakers wrap them in scrap fabric or old towel, insert into an old sock, tie or sew the end shut. You get a $6-$10 toy for just penny's and no fiber fill stuffing everywhere...Our toy poodle Gabi LOVES squeaky toys, especially her yellow Duck. She will play fetch with the Duck for hours, and afterward snuggle down to squeak-squeak-squeak until the beloved Duck is dead. Then she looks up with big liquid eyes, as if to say: "Mom! It's broken!"
We went through Ducks like Sherman through Georgia until I found these wonderful replacements. Now I can fix the toy without breaking the bank.
Some have complained that the squeaker seems a bit flimsy. First, that makes it easier to insert. Second, sometimes it is GOOD for a squeaky toy to go silent for a bit.
Now every morning I fix Gabi's Duck, to her delight. Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak... until it stops. The Duck may be yellow, but sometimes Silence is Golden!

Good Product! Only 4 stars instead of 5 stars since they are a bit thin and more easily destroyed than other brands I've purchased. On the plus side, the think construction does allow the squeaker to be bent/twisted/manipulated more easily when trying to cram in into a toy with a very small opening. The other 'thicker' ones I've purchased are more difficult to squeeze into small openings.I made a dog toy with one of these squeakers and it turned out great. My teething puppy plays tug-of-war with it and runs around the house squeaking it nonstop. It's endured a lot of abuse this last week. I did surround it with polyfill to make it last a little longer. It's already exceeded my expectations. My puppy is extremely hard on toys.The squeakers were good until I put them in a toy and then they lost their squeak within 2 days. The larger squeakers may be better, but I haven't tried them.
