Are you looking for a robust and environmentally friendly tug toy for your dog? The Eco Tug tug ball is just the thing for you. Made from 100% natural hemp rope, this toy offers joint tugging fun. This natural product is ideal for dog owners who value quality and sustainability. Whether for small or large dogs - in four different sizes, there is something to suit every dog.
- Different sizes for every dog: The Eco Tug tug ball is available in four different sizes so that you can find the right toy regardless of your dog's size. This variety means that both small and large dogs can find the perfect play partner in this toy.
- 100% natural hemp for safety & environment: This toy is made from pure natural hemp rope, a robust, safe and environmentally friendly material. Hemp is naturally biodegradable and free from harmful chemicals, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious dog owners. Our tugging ball differs from other products because it is made entirely of hemp and not just a hemp cover with a cotton filling. This makes the toy more stable and resistant overall.
- Hand-woven for durability: Each Eco Tug Zerr ball is made by hand and carefully braided.
- Handle for optimum control: The hand strap integrated into the toy is also made of hemp and provides a firm and secure grip. Even if your dog pulls hard while playing, this loop allows you to hold the toy securely.
Game start:
Start the game by holding the tug toy by the built-in hand strap and allowing your dog to grab the other end of the dummy.
Clear rules:
Set clear rules for tug-of-war. Your dog should only bite and pull when given permission and should let go of the toy when you say so.
Supervision and control:
Always stay in control of the game. Your dog can win just as much as you can, but the game should not lead to too high a level of excitement. Stop the game immediately if your dog becomes too excited.
Appropriate game intensity:
Make sure that the game doesn't become too intense. The tug-of-war game should remain fun and not degenerate into a test of strength.
Fetch games:
You can also use the tug toy for fetch games by throwing it with the wrist strap and asking your dog to bring it back.
Regular breaks:
Give your dog regular breaks during play to avoid overexertion.
Positive reinforcement:
Reward your dog for good behavior during play to encourage a positive experience. Play, interaction, and tug-of-war can be appropriate rewards.
Security aspect:
Although the Eco Tug is sturdy, supervise your dog while playing to ensure the safety and longevity of the toy.
Respect your dog’s boundaries:
Stop playing if your dog shows signs of fatigue or disinterest.
To ensure the longevity and quality of your Vitomalia tug toys, proper care and storage is essential. Here are simple steps to keep your Eco Tug Edition 100% natural hemp rope products in top condition:
→ Avoid moisture: Although hemp rope is sturdy and durable, the tug toy is not a water toy.
→ Dry storage: Store your Eco Tug tug toy in a dry environment. Avoid storing the toy outdoors, especially in damp or wet conditions.
Manual cleaning: Hemp rope is not suitable for washing machines. To preserve the durability of the toy, avoid bleaching, ironing or dry cleaning. To clean the toy, simply rinse it with clean water. This will effectively remove dirt and saliva.
→ Natural drying: If the Eco Tug tug toy does get wet, let it air dry. Avoid direct heat sources or drying in the sun, as this can damage the material.
→ Check for damage: Please note that our tug dummy is made of 100% hemp rope, a natural material that will wear out over time and with use. Check the toy regularly for signs of wear. If there is visible damage, you should replace the toy to ensure your and your dog's safety.
