Two different noises do considerably more than one. A squeak is a sharp, sudden reward that pays off a bite, while a crinkle is a quieter, continuous sound that rewards carrying, shaking and kneading. A toy carrying both keeps a dog interested for longer than either would on its own, because there is always a second thing to try when the first one stops being novel.

The duck shape is soft fabric throughout, with the squeaker set inside the body and the crinkle material worked into the flatter panels, so different parts of the toy behave differently in the mouth. Soft plush is gentle on a teething puppy's gums, and light enough to be thrown about indoors without knocking anything off a shelf. It also flops when it lands rather than rolling away, which is what makes a dog pounce on it a second time.

• Soft plush duck with an internal squeaker
• Crinkle material for a second, quieter sound
• Gentle on teething puppies and on older mouths
• Light enough for indoor fetch, tug and carrying about
• Suited to small, medium and large dogs
• Three colours: yellow, green and rose red

On durability, honestly. This is a plush toy. A determined dog will find the squeaker within an afternoon, and no fabric toy survives a committed shredder, so if yours dissects soft toys then buy rubber instead. Plush is for dogs who carry, cuddle and mouth rather than destroy, and even then the squeaker and any stuffing become a swallowing risk once the seams open. Check it over regularly and retire it as soon as it splits.

Who it's for: Gentle-mouthed dogs, puppies and habitual carriers, rather than power chewers.
