Butternut

A squash worth foraging. The Lambwolf Butternut is a sculptural plush butternut squash with six side-opening treat pockets — dogs nose and paw their way into each pocket rather than dropping in from above. Available in two sizes: Small in light fern (with one super squeaker for a generous squeak payoff), and Large in dark fern (with multiple smaller squeakers scattered throughout for layered sensory engagement). A snuffle toy that looks as good on the sofa as it does on the floor.

How It Works

Tuck treats into any of the six pockets spaced around the Butternut's body and hand it to your dog. The pockets are oriented to open sideways rather than being straightforward direct pockets, so dogs work around each pocket to reach in. The hidden squeaker(s) activate with every nudge and paw-press, drawing dogs back in between pockets.

Side-opening snuffle — six pockets reward deliberate, focused foraging as dogs work their snout around each opening.
Squeaky reward — the Small has a single super squeaker for a generous squeak payoff; the Large has multiple smaller squeakers scattered throughout for layered engagement.
Sculptural shape — the standing butternut squash silhouette makes this a visually distinctive toy that doubles as a soft carry or tossing object between snuffle sessions.

Air-dried treats work best. They hold their shape inside the pockets, don't crumble, and don't grease the fabric. Freeze-dried treats also work well. Browse our treats collection for air-dried and freeze-dried options that fit neatly into the side-opening pockets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up the Butternut for nosework?
Tuck treats into any of the six side-opening pockets around the Butternut's body and hand it to your dog. They will nose and paw around each pocket to retrieve the treats, with the squeaker(s) activating throughout.

What treats work best?
Air-dried treats are our top recommendation — they hold their shape inside the pockets, don't crumble, and don't grease the fabric. Freeze-dried and other dry training treats also work well. You can browse our treats collection for suitable options. Avoid wet food or anything sticky.

Which size should I choose?
Small (13cm, light fern) is recommended for extra-small to medium dogs — with one super squeaker for a generous squeak payoff. Large (20cm, dark fern) is recommended for medium and larger dogs — with multiple smaller squeakers for a layered sensory experience. Medium dogs can enjoy either size; choose based on which squeaker experience your dog responds to best.

What's the difference between the Small and Large Butternut's squeakers?
The Small has a single super squeaker inside — every nudge activates the same bold squeak. The Large has multiple smaller squeakers scattered throughout the body, so different areas produce different sounds and intensities. Both are designed to keep dogs engaged; the choice comes down to whether your dog prefers one big sound or varied sensory interest.

Is this suitable for beginner dogs?
Yes. The Butternut's side-opening pockets are more demanding than open-pocket snuffle toys, which means beginners will simply take a little longer to work through it. Start with treats in just two or three pockets for the first session, let your dog succeed, and fill the remaining pockets as their confidence grows.

Is the Butternut suitable for flat-faced breeds?
Yes — the side-opening pocket design makes the Butternut more accessible for flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds such as French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Shih Tzus than top-down deep pockets. Dogs access the treats from the side rather than needing to push into a deep vertical pocket.

Can the Butternut be washed?
Yes — machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, pet-safe detergent and air dry fully. Do not tumble dry.
