Material and Construction

The X-Brace™ Birch Bunny is constructed with a soft plush exterior and a proprietary poly cotton X-Brace™ skeleton that runs through the body of the toy, providing structural reinforcement during tug play. The interior is lined with HuggleHounds' exclusive Tuffut Technology® 2-layer lining, which adds resistance against tearing and seam separation. Minimal stuffing is used in the head to reduce mess while maintaining shape. Crinkle paper and a squeaker are integrated to engage multiple senses simultaneously. This is a moderate-duty interactive dog toy suited for dogs that play actively but are not extreme power chewers.

Texture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance

The exterior plush is soft and flexible, making it comfortable for larger dogs to carry, mouth, and snuggle. At approximately 18" tall x 13" wide x 4" deep, this toy is well-suited for medium to large breeds that require a proportionally sized toy for safe and satisfying play. Engagement duration will vary based on the individual dog's play drive and chew intensity. Dogs with moderate play styles will typically experience extended engagement, while high-energy or power-chewing dogs may require closer supervision and more frequent inspection.

Play Style and Functional Use

Tug Toy: The X-Brace™ skeleton and Tuffut Technology® lining provide the structural integrity needed for back-and-forth tug sessions. The elongated bunny body offers a natural grip point for both dog and handler during interactive play.

Plush Toy: With its soft exterior and minimal stuffing, the Birch Bunny doubles as a comfort companion for dogs that enjoy carrying or snuggling with plush toys during rest periods. Moderate supervision is recommended during unsupervised use.

Safety, Usage, and Care Guidance

• Moderate supervision is recommended, particularly during initial use and tug sessions
• Inspect the toy regularly for signs of wear, torn seams, or exposed stuffing; replace if damaged
• Select appropriate toy size based on your dog’s size and bite strength
• Not recommended as an unsupervised chew toy for aggressive chewers
• Store in a clean, dry location when not in use

Cleaning and Maintenance

Machine wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high-heat drying methods that may damage the plush exterior or internal materials. Inspect seams and squeaker integrity after each wash cycle.
