Puppy Rope Toys (Learn the Ropes)

• As social animals, puppies require interactive play between you (the owner) and them. This allows for physical and mental development, while increasing the bond between you and your pooch.
  
• Rope toys have gained popularity over time as a standard part of a dog’s toy box, and for good reason. These ropes allow for many innate movements and actions that come naturally to dogs during play - tugging and pulling, gripping something hard with their teeth, vigorous head shaking while growling, chasing, catching, etc. - all while being safe for your dog.
  
• Good dog rope toys are constructed to be durable and tough, yet non-damaging to a dog during rough or intense play. We all know how immersed into play a dog can get - if they were holding on to something too hard or sharp, it’s likely they’ll end up at the vets for a mouth or tooth injury.
  
• Learn the Ropes by Pet Impact is a collection of pure cotton rope toys, made to be strong yet safe and soft for your pooch to play with. These toys are specifically for puppies and can provide for some exciting play times between you and your pooch (they are not designed to be left with an unsupervised dog as they are play things, meant for interactive activity).

Each box consists of 6 toys:

1. Tug-of-War
2. The Chaser
3. Brain Power
4. UFO
5. Chew Bone
6. Fetch!

All toys are made of recycled cotton, with Brain Power also having a rubber treat ball included.

The toys are manufactured by a partner factory in China.

1. As with most toys, play time with these ropes should be supervised.
2. These toys are designed to be “play-toys”, meaning they are for engaged, interactive activity between you and your pooch. This offers a brilliant way for you to bond with your dog, and encourages a range of physical and mental activity for them (and you too!).
3. Like us, our dogs can get bored of toys they see or play with too often. Consider introducing each of these rope toys one at a time, rotating their use over the week, and keeping them away when play time is over.
   This keeps each toy a novelty and increases the enjoyment when they are actually played with!
4. Our dogs have a natural inclination to destroy things they chew on. Considering how dogs can chew on just about anything, creating a truly indestructible toy for our dogs will likely cause a degree of dental damage. To prolong the lifespan of these rope toys, use them as recommended in points 2 and 3 above rather than letting your pooch spend hours chewing them apart!

How are you and your puppy helping our planet?

Each rope toy is made with 100% pre-consumer recycled cotton, such as off cuts and waste fabric that never made it to consumer use. Thus by using this 'waste' fabric, we're reducing waste going into landfill and reducing demand on valuable resources, such as land and water to grow new cotton. Since cotton is a natural material, you have peace of mind that no zero-microplastics are shed, into our environment or into your pup while playing!

Zero plastic packaging and packaged in FSC certified recyclable cardboard.

What can we do to improve?

The rubber ball included is not made of recycled rubber, which we are hoping to change.

These toys are currently manufactured in China, where the waste fabric is sourced to be recycled. Ideally, we would want to make these closer to home to reduce our carbon impact from shipping.
