Nerf Dog Translucent Exo Spike Rings – 5in, 3 Pack

Nerf Dog Translucent Exo Spike Rings – 5in, 3 Pack

A ring is the easiest shape for a dog to pick up. There is a hole in the middle, so teeth close on something rather than sliding off a curve, and that same hole is what makes it a decent tug toy — you take one side, the dog takes the other, and neither of you is anywhere near the other’s grip.

These are five inches across with moulded spikes around the outside, which give the teeth and gums something to press against. Three come in the pack, in green, blue and orange. In a multi-dog household that is the point: three rings means three dogs with one each rather than three dogs arguing over one.

Performance & Benefits

• Pack of three rings in green, blue and orange.
• 5 inch diameter with an open centre, which is easy for a dog to pick up and hold.
• Moulded spikes around the outer edge give teeth and gums something to work against.
• Open shape makes them natural tug toys for a person or a second dog.
• Translucent colouring stands out against grass and hard floors.
• Three in the pack, so a multi-dog household is not sharing one toy.

Suitable For

• Tug of war and interactive play.
• Households with more than one dog.
• Dogs who find a ball hard to pick up.
• Light chewing and gum stimulation between games.
• Not a thrower — a flat ring does not travel or bounce well, so for fetch the Nerf Dog Rubber Super Bounce Ball at 3.8in is a better buy.

How to Use

• Hold one edge and let the dog take the opposite side for tug; keep the pull horizontal rather than upwards.
• Roll them along the ground rather than throwing them through the air.
• Wash in warm water with a mild detergent and dry before putting away.
• With several dogs, hand out one each rather than leaving all three in a heap.

Care & Caution

• A 5 inch ring can be got over the lower jaw by a determined dog and jam behind the canines. Supervise play and do not leave rings down unattended.
• Replace a ring as soon as the spikes are chewed off or the ring splits — the pieces are a swallowing and blockage risk.
• Do not let two dogs tug the same ring without you holding it; ring tugs are a common cause of tooth and jaw injuries.
• Not a chew toy for a power chewer, and not a substitute for a rated chew.
