Product Information
Full details
The TRIXIE Bungee Dummy is an ideal interactive toy for active dogs and their owners who enjoy high-energy tug-of-war games. Designed to protect both your dog's neck and your own shoulders from sudden jolts, this toy features a specialized shock-absorbing mechanism that makes play sessions safer and more enjoyable. While it is built for durability with high-quality fabric and plush polyester, it is primarily intended for supervised play rather than as a solitary chew toy for aggressive chewers.

FAQs
Is this toy safe for puppies?
Yes, but always monitor puppies during play to ensure they do not attempt to swallow pieces of the fabric or plush material.
Can the bungee be detached?
No, the shock absorber is an integrated part of the toy's design and cannot be removed.
Is this toy machine washable?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the bungee mechanism and the plush exterior.
Can I use this for water play?
While the materials are durable, it will absorb water and become heavy, which may reduce the efficacy of the bungee. It is best used in dry conditions.
What should I do if my dog starts chewing it?
If your dog begins to chew rather than tug, calmly take the toy away and offer a designated chew toy instead to discourage the habit.
Troubleshooting
The bungee feels less elastic over time
Ensure the toy is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the internal elastic materials.
The outer fabric is fraying
If fraying occurs, trim loose threads carefully with scissors to prevent the dog from ingesting fabric strips.
The toy is holding onto odors
Hand wash with a pet-safe detergent and rinse thoroughly to remove saliva or dirt residue, then allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; the toy is ready to use straight out of the packaging. To maintain the life of the bungee cord, avoid pulling it to its maximum extension limit repeatedly, as this can degrade the elasticity over time. Compatibility is high for medium to large breeds that enjoy interactive play. Care instructions include keeping the toy dry after use to prevent moisture buildup in the plush material. If it becomes muddy, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry completely before the next use to ensure the bungee mechanism remains functional and the fabric stays free of mildew.
