Little White Dog

There are special rope toys for older pups made with textured material added to the rope to secretly help take care of plaque build-up as they gnaw away on the toy. They think they’re just playing, but you know they’re also cleaning their teeth.

There are various types, sizes, and functions of rope toys available in pet stores and online. It’s not always easy to find the perfect match for your special friend. So, what are the best rope toys?

Although there are tons of materials used to make fun tug toys for dogs, we suggest searching out rope toys made with t-shirt material. The t-shirt fabric is tummy safe – which means that it’s easier on the digestive track in the event it’s accidentally ingested. It’s easier to pass than nylon or other fibrous materials used in rope toys. Don’t know where to start searching for tummy safe rope toys? Don’t worry, all of the work has been done for you! We’ve gathered 11 of the best t-shirt rope toys to make sure your pup is healthy and happy during playtime!
