Beco Treat Bone Natural Rubber Enrichment Dog Toy, Pink

Beco Treat Bone Natural Rubber Dog Toy – Pink

The pink Treat Bone is the same thick natural rubber chew as the green, hollowed at both ends so it can be packed with food. Pink is the easier of the two to find again on grass or a dark floor, which is a small thing until you have hunted for a toy at dusk.

Beco publish the make-up as 54% natural rubber, 11% synthetic rubber, colouring and additives, and describe the rubber as soft and springy — gentle on a mouth in a way a hard nylon bone is not, while still standing up to a determined chewer.

Performance & Benefits

• Hollow at both ends, so it takes a filling from either side
• Thick springy natural rubber, which Beco aim at heavy chewers
• Gentle on teeth compared with a hard nylon bone
• Freezes well once filled, which stretches a session considerably
• Bone shape gives a dog something to hold between the paws

Suitable For

• Heavy chewers who go through softer toys
• Crate training and settling a dog in a new room
• Slowing down a meal by packing part of it into the ends
• Dogs that need occupying rather than exercising
• Not a fetch toy — the Beco Super Stick is the natural rubber toy for throwing

How to Use

• Pack both hollow ends with nut butter, soft food or a paste
• Freeze it filled if you want it to last through a quiet afternoon
• Wash in warm soapy water and dry before refilling
• Take what goes in off the day's food rather than adding to it
• Put it away between sessions so the dog does not tire of it

Care & Caution

• Size the toy to the dog — a bone that fits entirely in the mouth is the wrong one

• Retire it once a dog has chewed through either hollow end
• Speak to a vet immediately if any piece is swallowed
• Keep away from children
