Using this Tonka tug toy is a breeze. Simply grab one end and let your dog take the other, then start a fun game of tug - of - war. You can also toss it for your dog to fetch. When using it, make sure there's enough space to avoid any accidental knocks. Keep an eye on your dog to ensure it doesn't chew off small pieces. To maintain this toy, just wash it with mild soap and water after your dog has played with it. Let it dry completely before storing it. This toy is built to last, but if it shows signs of excessive wear, it's time to get a new one.
