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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWe are not going to call it indestructible\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur supplier does, in its own product title. \u003cstrong\u003eNothing survives a determined dog with enough hours\u003c\/strong\u003e — that is the same thing we say in \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/guides\/why-dogs-chew-their-gear-and-how-to-stop-it\"\u003ewhy dogs chew their gear\u003c\/a\u003e, 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 \u003cem\u003ethis\u003c\/em\u003e instead of your lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003cstrong\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the supplier's claim, reported as theirs, and that is as far as we can honestly take it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize chart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize a chew by the dog's mouth, not by its enthusiasm.

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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural rubber, moulded in one piece — no glue, no paint (supplier's statement; we hold no lab certificate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHollow centre with a filling hole at each end for kibble, paste or peanut butter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen lattice channels through the body so food comes out slowly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbed surface across the whole body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sizes from 4.3\" to 7.1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrange with a green top — the only colourway our supplier makes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo published dishwasher rating, so wash it by hand in warm soapy water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThis or the Gauntlet Training Tug?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo different jobs, not two tiers.

A chew that turns up split, mismoulded or with a hole in the wrong place is a defect and we will deal with it.
