The Little Petface Rope Ball with TPR Handle Dog Toy is designed for interactive games with your puppy or small dog. Perfect for chewing, carrying, and teaching the game of fetch or playing a game of tug-of-war. The rope and rubber textures are not only great for play but may also help to soothe teething discomfort in puppies. As they gnaw and chew on the handle and rope, it may help to clean their teeth, reducing plaque build-up and promoting healthy gums.
