ABO Gear Jute Crinkler Dog Toy

The first one I gave her was a thrill for all of us. It was new and stimulating to her (she loves plastic bottles, and often rummages through the recycle bin!) It did not "slime up" the way many of her other toys do. It was tough enough with all those layers to last several weeks with almost constant play before she managed to get to the plastic. Unfortunately, she's a smarty and remembered how to get to the bottle, so the 2nd and 3rd one we bought her did not last as long. She did not want to fetch or play with it, but went straight for the weak spot and once the plastic is reach we have to take it away from her.

A new twist on the all-time favorite cheap dog toy, an empty plastic soda bottle.

My two 6 month old border collie puppies loved it, but they loved it to death in less than an hour. Once they discovered the cool crinkly noise it made, the pups were happy campers, but unfortunately the jute started to shred very quickly. Between the mess it was making and my fear that they would swallow the long shreds (nobody needs THAT much fiber!), I decided to prematurely "retire" the toy. We were all sad.

These even hold up against my neighbors dachshunds, who normally destroy everything.

I have neighbors who own mini dachshunds. They tear up all toys, but have not destroyed these yet.
