Ancol Playtime Natural Ropey Triangle Dog Toy Purple – Cotton Rope Tug & Chew Toy

Ancol Playtime Natural Ropey Triangle – Purple, 26cm

Purple is the darker of the two colours this toy is made in, and the sensible pick if it is going to live indoors and you would rather it did not shout across the room — the yellow is the one for finding again in long grass. Underneath the dye it is the same thing either way: 26cm of recycled cotton rope worked into a triangle with natural rubber sections set into the rope.

The rope is what does most of the work. Cotton strands slide between the teeth as a dog chews and pass along the gum line while they are there, which is why a rope toy is usually the better choice than moulded plastic for a dog that chews to settle. The rubber gives the frame enough weight and stiffness to hold its form; plain rope of this length goes limp and lands in a heap.

Performance & Benefits

• 26cm triangle, giving three grip points for tug.
• Naturally strong recycled cotton rope with durable natural rubber components.
• Holds its shape off the floor, so it is easy for a dog to lift.
• Rope strands help support healthy teeth and gums during chewing.
• Works for tugging, chewing and fetching alike.
• Supplied in recycled, widely recyclable packaging.

Suitable For

• Dogs of all breeds and sizes, on Ancol's own sizing.
• Dogs that enjoy tug and interactive games with a handler.
• Moderate chewers rather than committed destroyers.
• Dogs that struggle to pick a flat rope off the floor.
• Not enough rope for a very large, hard-tugging dog — the Ancol Playtime Jumbo Super Rope at 52cm or the Jumbo Rope at 130cm are the right scale there.

How to Use

• Take one corner and let the dog take another; pull side to side rather than upwards.
• Throw it for retrieve on grass — the triangle stops it rolling away.
• Trim loose strands as they appear and retire it once the rope unravels.
• Wash by hand and dry fully before storing.
