Hartz DuraPlay Bacon-scented Chew Toy, Medium/Large, bacon scent

This dog chew toy measures 19.7 x 18.8 x 3.7 cm (7.8 x 7.4 x 1.5 in) and weighs 59 g (2.1 oz), in a boomerang shape with three ends. The outside is natural latex and the inside holds foam filling, so the body gives softly under a dog's mouth. A bacon scent runs through it, a squeaker sits inside, and it floats in water.

Which dogs this boomerang toy suits and what to check first

The manufacturer describes the toy as suitable for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs and teething puppies. It comes in one size, listed for small to large dogs, so the check before buying is the dog's size against the 19.7 x 18.8 x 3.7 cm body rather than a choice between sizes.

Colour is picked at random when the toy ships, so a buyer cannot ask for pink, orange or green. The manufacturer also asks that a pet be supervised during playtime.

Which colours does the toy come in?

The toy comes in pink, orange and green. The colour of the toy in the box is selected at random when it ships, so the buyer does not choose one of the three.

What size is the chew toy and how does it squeak?

How big is the boomerang?

The toy is 19.7 cm long, 18.8 cm wide and 3.7 cm high (7.8 x 7.4 x 1.5 in). It weighs 59 g (2.1 oz).

Does the squeaker work from any angle?

The squeaker sounds wherever the toy is squeezed, according to the manufacturer. The boomerang has three ends, and ridges sit on each of them.

Will it float if it lands in water?

The toy floats in water. It is also light enough to toss indoors and outdoors, and the manufacturer lists outdoor use among its recommended uses.

What is the toy made of?

Natural latex covers the outside and foam fills the inside. The soft, flexible body can be used as a soft chew toy.

Ridges, scent and the soft body

Each of the boomerang's three ends carries ridges, which the manufacturer says massage gums while a dog chews. Because the ends point in different directions, a dog meets a ridged surface from more than one angle.

The bacon scent is built into the toy, and the squeaker adds a sound to play. The natural latex outside feels soft and flexible to the touch, with the foam filling giving the body its shape. The 59 g weight keeps the toy light to toss, and it stays afloat in water.
