I am writing this article to highlight the pros and cons of the rope dog toy to help you decide if it is one of the best interactive dog toys for your pet.

The Main Attraction

I am not sure exactly what it is, but dogs seem to be very attracted to rope dog toys. I can give a rope dog toy to my dogs and watch them work at untying it for hours! Maybe it is the soft but rigid consistency that makes them love to sink their teeth into it. They can bite down on it as hard as they want but it is easy on their teeth and gums. Whatever the cause, dogs tend to "jump" for the chance to play with a rope dog toy.

One of the things that makes rope dog toys one of the best interactive dog toys available is that there are so many different types of rope dog toys available.

You can give your dog a rope dog toy to chew on, play tug of war with them or even play fetch.

A Word Of Caution

As with any toy, if your dog is able to bite pieces off and swallow them, they can cause a blockage that could be life threatening to your pet. Because rope dog toys tend to be made of a soft material, they are not the most durable of toys. Some dogs can figure out how to unravel a rope dog toy in very little time. Make sure to pick up all of the little pieces before your dog eats them. If the toy becomes tattered or ragged, it is best to throw it away and replace it with a new toy.

As far as interactive dog toys go, the rope dog toy can be one of the best. Dogs are naturally attracted to it and will spend hours playing with it. You can play tug or fetch with your dog or just let them chew on it. As far as durability goes, rope dog toys are not one of the most durable dog toys.
