Material & Construction Details

1000D Nylon Exterior: This military-grade nylon fabric is exceptionally strong and tear-resistant, making it ideal for dogs who play enthusiastically. The tight weave prevents easy puncturing while maintaining flexibility for natural toy movement during play.

Minky Fleece Backing: The ultra-soft minky fleece provides a plush, comfortable surface that dogs love to nuzzle and carry. This gentle material is perfect for dogs who enjoy softer textures while still benefiting from the durable nylon exterior.

Crinkle Filling: The internal crinkle material creates an enticing rustling sound that captures dogs' attention and encourages interactive play. Unlike squeakers that can be annoying or easily destroyed, crinkle material is durable and provides consistent sensory feedback.

Why Choose Squeakerless Toys?

Many dog owners and their pets prefer squeakerless toys for several important reasons. Squeakers can be annoying to household members, especially during extended play sessions or early morning/late evening play. Some dogs become obsessed with destroying squeakers, which can pose choking hazards. Squeakerless toys like Pokey Pig provide engaging play without these concerns, using crinkle sounds instead to maintain interest and excitement.

Water Play Benefits

The floating capability of Pokey Pig opens up exciting play opportunities for water-loving dogs. Water retrieval games provide excellent low-impact exercise, especially beneficial for dogs with joint issues or those recovering from injuries. The bright pink color makes the toy easy to spot in water, and the durable construction withstands repeated wet and dry cycles without deteriorating.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

Cleaning: Spot clean with mild soap and water as needed. For deeper cleaning, hand wash gently in cool water with pet-safe detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.

Drying: Air dry completely before returning to your dog. The nylon exterior dries quickly, while the fleece backing may take longer. Ensure toy is fully dry to prevent mildew, especially after water play.

Storage: Store in a clean, dry location when not in use. Rotate with other toys to maintain novelty and interest.

Inspection: Regularly inspect for signs of wear, loose threads, or damage. Remove toy from play if significant damage occurs to prevent ingestion of materials.

Safety Guidelines

While Pokey Pig is designed for durability, no toy is indestructible. Always supervise your dog during play, especially when introducing a new toy. This toy is designed for interactive play and gentle to moderate chewing - it is not suitable for aggressive chewers or dogs who destroy toys quickly. Remove the toy if your dog begins tearing or ingesting materials. Keep toy clean and inspect regularly for safety.
