Squeak, rattle and bounce in one object, dressed up as a whisky bottle. Inside the chunky bottle body sits a tennis ball, sealed in, so the toy rattles when it is shaken and squeaks when it is squeezed. The bottle shape gives a dog something long to grab and carry, which is easier for most mouths to manage than a plain round ball.

It is a light toy, so it throws well and a dog can shake it about without effort, and the noise is really the point. The squeak rewards the catch and the rattle keeps a dog interested in a toy that is lying still, which is usually the moment a quiet toy gets abandoned. It works for fetch in the garden, a shake-and-toss game indoors, or simply as something to take to bed.

• Bottle-shaped body with a tennis ball sealed inside
• Squeaks when squeezed and rattles when shaken
• Long shape is easy for a dog to pick up and carry
• Light enough to throw a decent distance
• Single design, with no size or colour options

What we cannot tell you. Squeaky toys are also a supervised item, since plenty of dogs work purely to get the squeaker out.

Who it's for: Noise-motivated dogs who lose interest in a silent ball, and owners after a cheap fetch toy for the garden.
