Product Information
Full details
The GIGWI I'm Hero TPR Armor Plush Dog Toy - Rabbit is designed for dog owners seeking a durable and engaging toy for their pets, especially those with strong chewing habits. Its key benefit is the combination of a plush exterior with a reinforcing TPR armor, extending playtime and reducing the need for frequent replacements. A potential caveat is that while reinforced, extremely aggressive chewers may eventually damage the toy. This toy features a reinforced plush body, a hidden squeaker for added excitement, and is sized for fetching and chewing.

FAQs
Is this toy suitable for puppies?
This toy is designed for durability, but supervision is recommended for puppies to ensure they do not chew off and ingest small parts. It's best suited for puppies who have moved past the most destructive teething phases.
How durable is the TPR armor?
The TPR armor significantly enhances durability compared to standard plush toys by protecting weak points. However, it is not indestructible and may eventually be compromised by extremely aggressive or persistent chewers.
Can this toy be machine washed?
No, this toy is not machine washable. Cleaning should be done by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Excessive moisture can damage the internal squeaker.
What are the dimensions of the toy?
The toy measures approximately 23 cm in length and 18.5 cm in width.
Does the squeaker have a battery?
No, the squeaker is a simple air-activated mechanism and does not require batteries.
What should I do if my dog swallows a piece of the toy?
If your dog swallows any part of the toy, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Is this toy safe for dogs that like to tear stuffing out of toys?
While the TPR armor helps prevent immediate tearing, dogs intent on ripping out stuffing may eventually expose the interior. We recommend supervising play for such dogs.
Troubleshooting
Squeaker stopped working
The squeaker may have become dislodged or damaged. Check for visible damage to the toy. If the squeaker is intact but not functioning, it may need to be removed if it becomes a choking hazard.
Toy is showing signs of significant damage
If the TPR armor is torn or the plush is ripped exposing internal stuffing or the squeaker, discontinue use immediately to prevent your dog from ingesting harmful materials.
Dog is ignoring the toy
Try reintroducing the toy during active play sessions like fetch, or use treats to encourage interaction. Ensure the squeaker is still functional, as this is a key engagement feature.
