GiGwi Heavy Punch Canvas Punching Bag Dog Toy with Rope Handle

The GiGwi Heavy Punch Canvas Punching Bag is the smaller of GiGwi's two punchbag toys -- heavy-duty cotton canvas with a squeaker inside and a rope handle at the top. GiGwi aim it at small and medium dogs, and the handle means it works for tug as well as for solo shaking.

Key Features

• Heavy cotton canvas: Much tougher than plush, and it holds its shape under a thrashing.
• Squeaker inside: Keeps a dog working at it rather than losing interest.
• Rope handle: Hang it up or hold it for a tug game, with your hand well clear of the teeth.
• Small and medium dogs: GiGwi specify this size for smaller dogs; the boxing pear is the larger option.
• Shake-and-thrash toy: Built for the kind of play that destroys ordinary soft toys.

Heavy Punch: Which One

• Punching bag -- this one, smaller, with a rope handle, for small and medium dogs.
• Boxing pear (Large) -- bigger, with leatherette and a rubber core, for larger dogs.

How To Use The Handle

• Tug side to side rather than lifting the dog's feet off the ground.
• Hang it from something solid at your dog's chest height for a solo-play version.
• Put it away after the game if your dog chews rope -- swallowed fibres are a real blockage risk.

Good To Know

• This one is out of stock at the moment, so the page is here for reference while we wait on the next delivery.
• No toy is indestructible. Check it over before every session and bin it once it splits, frays or starts shedding pieces, because swallowed fragments cause blockages.
• The squeaker is a hard plastic insert. If your dog's goal is to dig it out rather than play with the toy, this is not the right toy for them.
• Canvas is tough, not indestructible. Replace it once the seams open.
• Brush and wipe clean rather than machine washing.
• Not a children's toy. Keep it with the pet's things.
