As pet parents, we’re always on the hunt for toys that will keep our furry friends entertained, engaged, and ideally, not make a giant mess. If you’ve ever experienced the “snow globe” effect of shredded toy stuffing scattered across your living room, you know the struggle is real. That’s where the concept of stuffing-free toys comes in, and one popular option making waves (and squeaks!) is the ZippyPaws Skinny Peltz 3-Pack.
This popular set from ZippyPaws features three adorable woodland creatures 鈥?a fox, a raccoon, and a squirrel. But the key selling point? They are entirely unstuffed plush toys.

The idea behind unstuffed toys is simple yet brilliant: eliminate the stuffing, eliminate the mess. Dogs often love to “disembowel” their plush toys, pulling out handfuls of poly-fill. While the Skinny Peltz might still fall victim to enthusiastic chewing, the cleanup is significantly easier, often just involving picking up the fabric remains and the internal squeakers.
Speaking of squeakers, these toys don’t skimp. Each 18-inch-long toy contains three round squeakers strategically placed along its body. This means even if a dog manages to silence one squeaker, there are two more to keep the fun going. Many dog owners appreciate this multi-squeaker design, noting how it keeps their dogs engaged longer than toys with just a single squeak point. The flat, floppy nature of the toys also seems to appeal to dogs’ natural instincts to shake and “kill” their prey (in a totally playful way, of course!).

Designed for medium and large dogs, the 18-inch length makes them great for games of fetch, tug (though durability for strong tuggers can vary), or simply for a dog to carry around and squeak. They are also soft enough to be comforting cuddle buddies for some pups.
With tens of thousands of reviews and a high average rating, the Skinny Peltz have clearly struck a chord with dog owners looking for a less messy plush toy option. While no plush toy is truly indestructible, especially for power chewers, these offer a compelling balance of fun, sound, and easier cleanup. If you’re tired of the stuffing mess but your dog loves plush and squeaky toys, the ZippyPaws Skinny Peltz might be worth adding to their toy basket.
