Durable + Fun Design + Smells Good Too
I chose this flex-force dog tug toy from Pupstages for my two Pitbulls. They like to wrestle and this seemed like a good option that would keep them from wrestling throat to throat. This sounds scary, but they never bring blood or even have slobber on their neck when they’re playing.
I was extremely pleased with the quality of this dog boy and also the scent was bright and fun. I asked my husband to smell it before I told him what it was, he said it smelled fruity. The blueberry apple scent is pleasant and might keep it long-term from smelling like dog slobber.
The materials used to make this feels very durable and it stretches easily. It’s also a fun way to play with each dog one on one or sometimes play with both of them while I pull on the other end.
Even though my dogs are aggressive chewers, I don’t have any concerns about the durability of this toy. It will not be something that I leave for them to chew on when we are not playing since it was not designed for that purpose. If they accidentally get a hold of it, I don’t think it will be an issue short term if they chew on it. For the sake of comparison, I had a dog pull toy that I would have said was similar to this one.
When this pull toy from Pupstages arrived, I realized there was a difference compared to a similar toy we have had a couple years. Our previous toy’s design - connected the two loops without any angle - that toy lays flat on the counter. This toy connects the two looped areas at a 90° angle to each other. I like this design. This new angle feels different when tugging for me and the dogs. I can hold the old toy and the new toy and offer to play…at least now, they are choosing this one.
I hope my details, thoughts and photos help someone.
