WinTour Shark Chew Toy, for aggressive chewers, with squeaker

This dog chew toy measures 20 x 6.5 x 6 cm (7.9 x 2.6 x 2.4 in) and weighs 270 g (9.5 oz), and the manufacturer lists it for dogs weighing 20-80 lbs. Its two ends are food-grade nylon and the middle section is natural rubber, with a squeaker inside that sounds when the toy is squeezed or chewed. The shark shape and the bacon flavour are part of the design.

Does this chew toy suit your dog?

The size limit is the first check: the manufacturer gives this toy for dogs that weigh between 20 and 80 lbs. A dog outside that range falls outside the stated suitability, and the 270 g (9.5 oz) weight and 20 cm length tell you how much toy the dog carries in its mouth.

Chewing is the recommended use, so the toy is meant to be given for that rather than as a fetch or tug item. The rubber middle is 30% thicker than other toys, and the nylon ends are a different material from that middle, so a dog that chews one part meets a firmer surface than at the other.

Two ways to put food on the toy

The textured surface is there for a thin layer of toothpaste, and peanut butter can be spread on the toy to attract chewing. Both are applications the manufacturer describes, and each adds a food layer to a toy that is otherwise chewed as it is. The subtle bacon flavour sits on the toy alongside these options.

The built-in squeaker makes sounds when the toy is squeezed or chewed, so the sound follows the dog's mouth rather than a separate action. The manufacturer lists indoor or outdoor use, which covers playing with it in the house or outside.

Shark shape, nylon ends and a rubber middle

• The shark-shaped design gives the toy a head and tail at either end, both moulded in food-grade nylon, with the natural rubber middle between them.
• A squeaker is built in and sounds when the toy is squeezed or chewed, so the noise comes from the dog's own chewing.
• The rubber part is 30% thicker than other toys, which puts more material in the section the dog grips in the middle.
• The subtle bacon flavour is part of the toy as supplied.
• The textured surface holds a thin layer of toothpaste, and peanut butter can be spread on the toy to attract chewing.
• The manufacturer lists indoor or outdoor use for the toy.
