Some toys are made for one game, but the SodaPup Heart on a String Ultra Durable Rubber Rope Toy offers several ways to keep your dog engaged. Its distinctive red heart is made from durable, near-solid rubber and attached to a rope handle, making it suitable for interactive tug sessions, retrieving games and supervised chewing.

The rope gives you something to hold during play, while the heart-shaped rubber body provides a substantial toy for your dog to carry, chase and chew. The textured surface adds another element to explore, and you can spread a small amount of dog-safe soft food over the ridges to introduce a simple enrichment activity.

Designed with power chewers and active dogs in mind, the Heart on a String can also be used as a reward during training. Switch between games to add variety to your dog’s routine, choosing activities that suit their play style and energy level.

The large version is intended for dogs weighing approximately 15–30 kg. Always consider your dog’s mouth size and chewing habits when choosing a toy. Despite its durable construction, no toy is indestructible, so supervise play and check both the rubber and rope regularly for damage.

Approximately 7.6 cm in diameter and 5.7 cm thick

SodaPup takes plenty of inspiration from nature when designing its enrichment toys, and this honeybee-themed collection is a great example, honeycomb mats, honey stick chews, honey bear dispensers, and now the Honey Pot, all built around the same playful idea. Every piece is designed to make mealtime more engaging, giving dogs a proper mental workout alongside their usual bowl of food.
