Erik is the pint-sized member of the Rowdies line-up, built with the same rough-and-tumble durability as its larger siblings in a size that suits smaller dogs or anyone after a toy that's easy to tote around. Reinforced fabric and tough paw panels stand up to determined tugging and carrying, while the soft plush body keeps things comfortable for downtime cuddles. At roughly 15cm x 15cm, it's a neat option for compact breeds or as a lighter, more portable Rowdie for any dog.

As with any soft toy, supervise play and check the size is right for your dog. Erik isn't designed to withstand aggressive chewing or be left with dogs unsupervised for long stretches, if you notice any damage, take the toy away and swap it for a fresh one.

Materials

Outer fabric is reinforced with a mesh backing for extra strength, with tough paw panels made from a durable, non-toxic material for added resilience. Filled with soft stuffing made from recycled plastic bottles.

Care

Fully machine washable and dryer safe, so it's easy to keep fresh between play sessions.

West Paw has been designing toys dogs genuinely love since 1996, working out of their own manufacturing facility in Bozeman, Montana, so every stage of the process stays in-house and under their control. They're a Certified B Corp, one of the first pet brands to earn that status, which means their approach to materials, workers and community has been independently held to a high bar. Sustainability runs through everything they make, from stuffing spun out of recycled plastic bottles to a take-back scheme that keeps old toys out of landfill.
