FAQs
Is this toy suitable for all dog breeds?
While durable, the 49cm length is better suited for medium to large breeds. Small dogs may find it difficult to carry comfortably.
Can I use this for tug-of-war?
Yes, the integrated strap and robust construction are designed to handle the forces involved in tug-of-war games.
Is the material safe for my dog to chew?
The baton is made from tough materials designed for play; however, no toy is completely indestructible. Supervision is recommended during play.
Will the color fade if I use it in the ocean?
It is highly resistant to elements, though rinsing it with fresh water after saltwater exposure will help maintain the color and condition for longer.
What should I do if my dog damages the baton?
If you notice deep tears or missing chunks, discard the toy immediately to avoid the risk of your dog ingesting the material.
Troubleshooting
Baton is not floating as expected
Ensure that the internal core is not damaged by deep punctures that may have allowed water to enter the material.
Strap appears frayed
While the strap is durable, heavy use can cause wear. Inspect frequently and discontinue use if the strap becomes thin or detached to prevent the dog from swallowing loose fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required; the baton is ready for immediate use upon removal from packaging. For best care, rinse the baton with fresh water after use in saltwater or mud to prevent grit accumulation and preserve the material's texture. Periodically inspect the strap and the baton body for signs of deep puncture wounds or fraying. If the toy becomes severely damaged, it should be replaced immediately to prevent ingestion of small pieces. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the vibrancy of the colors.
