Ancol Extreme Tough Baton Dog Toy – Heavy Duty Outdoor Chew & Tug Toy

Ancol Tough Baton – 42cm

The Tough Baton is a 42cm throwing and tugging toy from Ancol's Playtime Tough range, shaped so it is easy to grip at either end and easy for a dog to carry across the middle. It floats, which makes it one of the few fetch toys that still works at the lake, the river or the beach rather than sinking on the first throw.

The length is the point: it gives you and the dog a clear end each for tug, and it keeps teeth away from fingers. It is built for big, boisterous dogs who wreck ordinary fetch toys, though no toy is indestructible and this one is no exception.

Performance & Benefits

• 42cm long, giving a comfortable hold for both dog and handler during tug.
• Floats on water, so it suits retrieving at the beach, lake or pool.
• Long enough to throw a good distance, and easy for a dog to spot and pick up.
• Doubles as a fetch toy and a tug toy, so one toy covers two games.
• Built for the heavier end of everyday play rather than delicate mouths.
• Supplied in widely recyclable, plastic-free packaging.

Suitable For

• Strong, energetic dogs who retrieve, tug and swim.
• Water work — sea, lake, river and paddling pool.
• Two-way play with a handler rather than being left down all day.
• Burning off energy on a short walk when the weather cuts it short.
• Too large for toy breeds and young puppies, and too big for solo chewing — the Ancol Playtime Chase Tough Rubber Ball is the better size for a small dog.

How to Use

• Throw for retrieve on land or into water, or hold one end for tug.
• Put it away between sessions so it stays a game rather than a chew.
• Wash with warm soapy water after use and let it dry fully.
