The SodaPup USA-K9 Stars & Stripes Durable Rubber Rope Toy is made for dogs who need something tougher than the average ball. Its near-solid natural rubber construction stands up to determined chewing, while the attached rope gives you a handle for throwing, tugging and carrying. It works as a reward toy for training sessions, a retrieving toy for the garden or park, and an interactive tug toy for games together.

The textured surface and hollow centre add another way to play: fill the cavity with kibble, treats or peanut butter, and your dog has to work to get the reward. For a longer-lasting challenge, freeze the filled toy for a few hours first. It is aimed at larger dogs and measures approximately 3" across, with a patriotic Stars and Stripes design stamped with USA-K9. As with any toy, it is durable rather than indestructible, so keep an eye on the rope in particular, as rope is not chew-proof.

Approximately 3"

1. For treat play, fill the cavity with kibble, treats or peanut butter, and freeze for a few hours for a longer-lasting challenge.
2. For tug games, hold the rope firmly and let your dog take hold of the ball.
3. For fetch, throw using the rope and let your dog retrieve in the garden, park or field.
4. For training, use the toy as a reward during positive-reinforcement sessions.
5. Supervise play at all times, and inspect the toy regularly, paying close attention to the rope.
6. Replace the toy if it becomes worn or damaged, or if your dog chews through the rope.

Materials

Made from a natural rubber compound that is FDA-compliant and non-toxic, and made in the USA.

Care

It measures approximately 3" x 3" x 3" and is dishwasher safe, so it is easy to clean after muddy walks or messy fillings.

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. Its ranges includes slow feeders, lick mats and interactive products that give dogs opportunities to explore, sniff and work for their food.
