Cactus-Shaped TPR Dog Chew Toy with Optional Rope

This chew toy is shaped like a little cactus, with raised nubs all over and an open center ringed with zigzag ridges. The nubs and ridges give a dog plenty of texture to work on. It is molded from TPR, a firm but flexible rubber-like material.

It measures about 5.1 inches (130 mm) long and 3.2 inches (81 mm) across, and weighs about 6.9 to 7.8 oz (196-220 g). Choose green, yellow or lake blue, and decide whether you want the cactus on its own or with a rope threaded through one end, which gives you something to tug as well as chew.

Pick a size that suits your dog's mouth, since a toy this size is better for medium dogs than for tiny ones. Supervise chewing, and take the toy away if pieces start to break off. A dog that likes to gnaw can wear down even firm rubber, and the rope on the rope version can fray, so check both before each use. Wash with warm soapy water, rinse and let it dry.
