Ancol Tough Super Snake XL Dog Toy – Extra Long Squeaky Plush Tug Toy

Ancol Tough Super Snake – 95cm

Ninety-five centimetres of fabric snake with five squeakers set along its length, so wherever a dog grabs it something makes a noise. The length is the whole appeal: a dog can take it by the middle and have most of a metre of toy whipping about on either side, which is far more satisfying to shake than a compact plush, and much easier to pick up at a run.

It is made from a tough but soft fabric, so despite sitting in Ancol's Tough range it belongs with carrying, shaking, fetching and gentle tug rather than serious chewing. Ancol are clear that it is not indestructible, and a dog that sets out to dismantle soft toys will find the seams.

Performance & Benefits

• 95cm long, so there is plenty of toy to grab, shake and drag about.
• Five built-in squeakers spaced along the body, not a single one in the head.
• Tough but soft fabric — firm enough to shake hard, soft enough to sleep against.
• Covers fetch, tug, carrying and snuggling in one toy, which is unusual breadth.
• Suits dogs that specifically prefer oversized toys to small ones.
• Supplied in widely recyclable, plastic-free packaging.

Suitable For

• Medium and large dogs that like a big toy to shake and carry.
• Fetch, gentle tug and comfort from the same toy.
• Dogs motivated by squeakers.
• Indoor play, where a long soft toy does no damage to anything.
• Not for a determined chewer, despite the range name — the Ancol Tough Super Barbell Plate and the Ancol Tough Baton are the rubber toys we stock for those dogs.

How to Use

• Hold one end for tug and let your dog take the other, keeping the pull level.
• Throw it for a chase; the length makes it easy for a dog to scoop up at speed.
• Wash in warm soapy water and allow to dry fully before returning it to your dog.
• Inspect the seams and the squeaker positions after each session.

Care & Caution

• Not indestructible. Dogs should always be supervised during play.
• Check the toy regularly for signs of wear and remove it immediately if it is damaged or if parts become detached.
• Squeakers and loose stuffing can be swallowed and cause a blockage, so retire the snake as soon as the fabric splits rather than patching it.
• At 95cm it is long enough to tangle around legs. Do not leave it loose in a crate or with an unsupervised puppy.
