The "bungee" portion of this toy is made from soft-touch nylon covering a special shock cord. It is designed to act as a shock absorber between you and the dog-so that you'll be more comfortable while tugging and to provide exciting resistance to the dog without you actually having to pull hard on the toy. This keeps tugging fun for the dog, but makes tugging easier on your body! Bling's Bungee Ring Tug has two bite areas. The soft "stick" portion of the toy is made from heavy-duty nylon like our Dynamite Sticks (with the toys on our website), and is 9"L x 1.25"W. It is triple stitched to the bungee sections of the toy for extra strength. Opposite the stick is a faux fur, plush "bar" that is 9"L x 1.5"W. The nylon runs through the faux fur covering and is double stitched along the complete length of the fur area for toughness. You can use either the stick or the bar as your tugging handle and let the dog pull on the opposite bite area. Machine washable. Colors may vary.
