FAQs
Is this toy safe for puppies?
Yes, it is made of non-toxic materials, but you should supervise puppies to ensure they are not ingesting large chunks of the rope.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand-wash the toy to preserve the integrity of the weave, though some users choose a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag.
How do I know if the toy is too worn out?
If you notice the knots are coming undone or large sections of the rope are detaching, it is time to replace the toy.
Will this help with my dog's bad breath?
By cleaning plaque and tartar off the teeth, it can reduce oral bacteria which often contributes to bad breath.
Is it safe for a dog that is an aggressive chewer?
This toy is durable, but aggressive chewers can destroy any rope toy quickly. Supervise use and remove if you see the dog successfully tearing off pieces.
Troubleshooting
The rope is fraying excessively
Use sharp scissors to carefully trim any loose, long threads to prevent your dog from swallowing them.
The toy smells after outdoor use
Hand-wash the rope with a pet-safe detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely in the sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this toy; simply remove the packaging and it is ready for immediate use. While compatible with most dog breeds, size selection should be based on your dog's mouth size to ensure they can carry the toy comfortably. To maintain the hygiene of the toy, periodically inspect it for loose or frayed strands and trim them with scissors if necessary. The rope can be hand-washed with mild, pet-safe soap and lukewarm water to remove trapped dirt or saliva. Always air-dry the toy completely before returning it to your dog to prevent mold or mildew growth.
