The impossible made possible :)

We always bought this kinds of ropes for our dogs and they always stayed tighten up.
I always thought it was impossible to loosen up until Rufus proved me wrong..

It is amazing what they do

[Anny Mendoza]

It is!
And Rufus is a toy killer!!
Toys don't last in this house..

Be careful with rope toys... They can be dangerous.

[Anny Mendoza]

Really? how so?

Zyekies has a couple stuffed animals with rope legs and he destroys the legs the way Rufus destroyed his rope toys.

CouversMom: Please post how they can be dangerous.

Oh my.
I didn't know that

The rope toys can cause intestinal blockages. We had one member here whose dog had to have surgery after eating a bunch of the rope toy.

thanks for posting this, no more rope toys for Zyekies...he has plenty of other toys. Things like this really scare me, I just assumed they were safe, why do pet stores sell toys that could be so harmful?

Dogs tearing apart rope toys is similar to ingesting long pieces of dental floss or nylons, very dangerous.
