The plush head, tail, arms, and legs are threaded directly through the latex body, securing them structurally rather than relying solely on stitching. The latex body is hand-painted with materials that meet child safety standard EN71. Durability is rated moderate duty — more resilient than standard plush toys, but not intended for aggressive chewers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe toy presents two distinct textures: the firm, flexible feel of the Ruff-Tex® latex body and the soft plush of the limbs and head. Total height is approximately 7.5\" including plush parts; the latex body measures approximately 4.75\" tall x 3.75\" wide x 2\" deep. Sized for small dogs and puppies. Engagement duration will vary — the bounce and squeak features tend to sustain play sessions longer than static plush toys.

The plush limbs provide additional grip points for carry and shake play. All play sessions should be supervised, particularly during initial introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety, Usage, and Care Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupervise play sessions, especially with dogs that chew aggressively on latex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect regularly for tears in the latex body or loosening of plush parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove and replace if the latex body is punctured or plush parts become detached\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure toy size is appropriate — do not use with dogs that can fully engulf the toy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted with EN71-compliant materials — safe for supervised use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a clean, dry location when not in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCleaning and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the latex body clean with a damp cloth after use.
