It gives the toy a slightly matt finish and a textured body that gives a dog's teeth something to work against instead of skating off smooth rubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it worth having over a plain rubber chew is the way it gives. Ancol describe the material as firm yet flexible, so teeth sink in without easily puncturing it — a more satisfying chew than solid rubber and less prone to being torn open than a hollow toy. At 11 x 5cm it is a small toy, and Ancol point it at smaller dogs and puppies rather than powerful adult chewers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural rubber blended with recycled coffee grounds, so spent grounds are diverted from waste into the toy itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextured surface across the body, which holds a dog's interest and encourages natural chewing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirm yet flexible — teeth sink in without easily puncturing or tearing the rubber.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe irregular hippo shape means it does not roll away in a predictable straight line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall and light at 11 x 5cm, so it throws indoors as happily as out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied in widely recyclable, plastic-free packaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller dogs and puppies, which is who Ancol size this one for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs that chew steadily rather than destructively.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnrichment and interactive play, indoors or in the garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners choosing recycled-content toys where they can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot the toy for a determined power chewer or a large breed — the Ancol Tough Super Barbell Plate or the Ancol Tough Baton are the sturdier, larger choices we stock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive it as a supervised chew, or throw it short distances for a chase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash with warm soapy water as required and allow to dry fully before giving it back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the surface and edges after each session and retire the toy once it starts to split.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotate it with other toys rather than leaving it down permanently — it stays interesting for longer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 x 5cm.
