i found the ultimate rope dog toy!

though he is small, my dog is mighty. i had to replace his regular nylabone with a nylabone for tough chewers, for instance. i found these rope toys and they have lasted and lasted, despite being his ultimo-favorites for chewing, fetching, flinging, etc, etc. also they are very adorable.

voila!

Those look great - adorable, too. Do you know why they recommend elephant, giraffe, monkey, or lobster for the more aggressive/fetch-inclined dogs? Are the toys heavy at all? I assume the bodies are stuffed?

I don't know why they recommend those, but I got the giraffe and the crab in a store where those recommendations weren't posted and my fetch-loving dog, who has quite a set of teeth, loves them, and they've lasted long. (I don't remember where the store was, unfortunately).

I don't think they're stuffed, I think they're solid twisted rope. They're pretty hard and heavy. Really good chew toys. And I noticed on the website if you have a puppy you can soak them in water and freeze them during teething.
