ucho Dog Toys for Aggressive Chewers, Dog Toy for Dogs, Interactive Chew Toys for Training and Cleaning Teeth (Champagne, Roses)

A dog can fetch this ucho chew stick on the golf course, where ucho lists it for training a dog to fetch balls. The body is TPE shaped into a rose, with a raised section a dog works on with its mouth, and the toy suits large, medium and small dogs.

What the light pink champagne roses version is

Light pink is the colour of this version, and the rose theme carries through the flower shape of the main body. The format is a chew stick rather than a ball or a ring, and the raised section gives the mouth a defined spot to work on.

No fragrance is added, since the scent is listed as unscented. The maker also lists the toy as portable, and at 141 g (5 oz) it stays light enough to carry.

How the toy is used

The pack includes plastic components alongside the TPE toy itself.

Checks before you buy

A buyer should look at the strength of their dog's chewing first. The toy is aimed at aggressive chewers, but ucho excludes very aggressive dogs from that description, so a dog that destroys other toys quickly falls outside the stated range.

The second check is the size of the toy in the mouth. At 1.3 x 1.3 x 1.3 cm (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 in) it is a compact piece, and the maker lists it for small, medium and large dogs alike. The third check is expectation: ucho states that no toy is indestructible, so this chew stick is not presented as one that cannot be damaged.
