Bedrock Rubber Chew
Bedrock Rubber Chew
A moulded natural rubber chew with a hollow centre for treats, in three sizes.
Almost everything else we sell comes off when the dog rests. This is the thing you hand the dog once it does. It is one solid piece of rubber with a ribbed surface, open lattice channels through the body and a hole at each end — pack the middle with kibble, paste or peanut butter and the dog has to work the food out through the gaps instead of swallowing it in four seconds.
The ribs are the point of the shape. A smooth ball gets crushed once and dropped; a ribbed one gets worked along the back teeth, which is where a dog that wants to chew is trying to get to. It is heavy for its size, it doesn't squeak or rattle, and there is no fabric or stuffing in it to come out.
We are not going to call it indestructible
Our supplier does, in its own product title. Nothing survives a determined dog with enough hours — that is the same thing we say in why dogs chew their gear, and chew damage is excluded from the warranty on every product we sell, this one included. What a good chew buys you is that the dog chews this instead of your lead.
Treat it like a chew, not like equipment. Watch how hard your dog goes at it before you leave them alone with it, and retire it when the ribs wear round, when a piece can be pulled off, or when it has worn small enough to fit whole inside the dog's mouth.
Material
The supplier states 100% natural rubber, moulded in one piece, with no glue and no paint. That matches what the photographs show — a single moulding, no seams, nothing bonded on. We do not hold a lab certificate or a food-contact test report for it, so you will not find "non-toxic" or "food grade" written on this page. It is the supplier's claim, reported as theirs, and that is as far as we can honestly take it.
Size chart
Size a chew by the dog's mouth, not by its enthusiasm. The toy has to be too big to fit entirely inside the mouth — that is the whole safety question with any chew.
| Size | Toy size | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| S | 4.3 × 2.1" (110 × 55 mm) | Puppies and small dogs, up to 20 lb |
| M | 6.3 × 3.2" (160 × 81 mm) | Medium dogs, 20–60 lb |
| L | 7.1 × 3.6" (181 × 92 mm) | Large dogs, 60 lb and up |
One honest gap, since you can see it in the photos yourself. Our supplier gives two different dog-weight bands for the large size — "over 60 lb" on its size chart, "30–65 lb" on another of its own images. The measurements agree across both, so the numbers above are the size chart's, and we have left its other figure where it is rather than quietly delete it. Go by the toy's size against your dog's mouth rather than by the pound figure, and between two sizes take the larger.

This or the Gauntlet Training Tug?
Two different jobs, not two tiers. The Gauntlet Training Tug is training equipment — it comes out, it pays the dog for work, and it goes away; a jute tug left on the floor is shredded in a week and stops being worth anything to the dog. The Bedrock is the one that stays down. It is what the dog has when you are not playing with it, and it is the answer to a dog that chews gear out of boredom.
Covered for one year
Defects in materials and workmanship are covered for a year from delivery — we replace or refund, and we pay the shipping. A chew that turns up split, mismoulded or with a hole in the wrong place is a defect and we will deal with it. Chewing, digging, normal wear and misuse aren't covered, because no gear survives a dog that's decided to eat it — and on a chew toy, wear from chewing is the product doing its job, not a fault.
Shipping and returns
Free shipping on U.S. orders $70+. If something isn't right, email us within 30 days and we'll make it right. If it arrives damaged, defective or wrong, send us a photo and we'll replace it or refund you in full.
