Thrill:

The "eau de bovine" grabbed the Beasts interest
before I even opened the box! Emrys was doing pogo jumps on
her hind legs next to me and Bergamot was doing his stampy-foot
dance in anticipation.
Bergamot's brain went into his "this is too good"
mode. He took the double handled tug and layed down with his
chin resting on the tug. He only does this when I give him
a big recreational marrow bone to chew on - it is SO good
that he can't even chew it - he just lays with it and makes
sure Emrys the stealer does not take it.
Emrys went wild chewing and shaking the tugs. One by one she
collected them all - even the one Bergamot was holding. Great
fun was had by playing fetch and tug with all the different
styles: single handled, double handled pocket toy & fetch
tug.

These toys please all the senses! Smell, touch, sight, taste.
Chewy, Tuggy & Smelly! A really fun fetch and tug toy.
The beasties like to fetch and play tug with these.

"Now I can hit Bergamot in the face
from farther away!
C'mon Bergamot grab this end. Grab this end! C'mon!!"

Durability:
   
|
These are just as durable as the milker toys we reviewed.
The cords are a very durable nylon and many of the tugs are
reinforced with garden hose on the interior. Just like the
majority of dog toys, these are meant to be used interactively
and will last the longest if they are not left with your dogs
unsupervised. HelpingUdders.com recommends using these toys
as an interactive toy and we agree.

Cost vs. Durability:
   
|
These are well made and durable toys. We think they are very
reasonably priced for a toy that will last and bring this
much excitement to your Bostons. It is obvious that a lot
of ingenuity went into the creation of these toys. It is also
great to know that buying these toys for your Bostons to enjoy
will benefit Boston Terrier rescue.

Safety:
  
|
The Beasts have only damaged one out of 4 Udder Tugs. (Yes,
it was Emrys!) They are still playing with the remains of
the toy. What I like so much about the inflations/moo-moos/milkers/uddder
tugs is that as they succumb to Boston terrier abuse, you
can trim the damage off with scissors and keep the remainder.
Sometimes you get a new
toy out of it!
As always, keep an eye on your Boston Terrier with any toy.
It should be removed if it begins to show chew damage.
