Beco Natural Rubber Hoop and Rope Dog Toy for Tug, Fetch and Playtime

This toy is extremely durable and makes for a great game of tug-of-war with a puppy. My Keeshond pup loves this toy and we still play with it now and he's 5 months old.The ring is a nice squidgy rubbery material that my pup likes to hold when we play tuggy - it sort of stretches almost, it's not rigid rubber - but his favourite is the rope part. He doesn't chew the rubber bit, which is a bit of a shame as it's supposed to be nice and natural. He does however like chewing the rope knots and also trying to dismantle the ends (he pulls off the frayed bits of rope, for this reason I wouldn't recommend this toy be left unsupervised with a dog). He has managed to undo one of the knots but I just tied it back up again.All in all I have no quarms with it, although I was initially a bit concerned that the ring had one side which was thinner so I thought it might break easily, but it has withstood lots of very intense tuggy games so I'm giving it top marks for now.

Our German Shepherd loves these toys, and normally they're great toys for visitors to engage with a tug of war with her. We do have to periodically purchase a new one as she does like to chew on the rope, and over time it therefore gets damaged. When it gets too bad we cut the rope off before it fully breaks away and keep the hoops. They seem very resistant to damage and don't even look marked, so we use them for games of fetch, etc.I normally purchase this product elsewhere and switched to Amazon for the latest purchase. The item we received has a noticeably shorter rope (I compared it with two old ones that we're about to remove the rope from). Sadly this really reduces the usefulness of this toy for us. A longer rope means the rather strong German Shepherd jaw is further away from visitors hands and she's less likely to accidently nip someone when excitedly playing.Most toys don't stand up indefinitely to a German Shepherd's jaw, and this type of rope isn't indestructible. I feel it's good value for money and would probably work very well for medium sized dogs. If the shortened rope is a product revision as opposed to a one off production error, I'd have reservations about it's usefulness for larger dogs.

great for playing tug of war with our Pomski HOWEVER do not leave this alone with your dog as it doesn't bode well as a general chew toy we had this a few months them made that mistake and he chewed through the ring. if used for human and dog interaction/play time it is great and great value NOT if you let them play with the toy at their own leisure

The smell (vanilla) is very powerful and lasts for ages. Very good for training our dog to "find" . The product is strong and well made.

Best hard-wearing chew toy for any dog with a strong jaw. I have bought lots of "durable" "tough" chew toys for my dog and she normally breaks off bits after 5mns of chewing them. This one is great and actually does last without breaking. It’s her favourite toy of all time. I take off the rope first though because it goes to shreds straight away.
