Bergamot & Emrys loved how floppy it was. Emrys really
wanted to play I-smack-you-in-the-face-tug
with it but understandably as the designated smackee
Bergamot is not a big fan of that game. As a fetch toy B&E
really liked how easy it is to grab. It is fun to run with
because of the floppiness. Mostly, the Beasts found it deep-down
satisfying to hold it with their paws and gnaw on it. They
hunkered down and concentrated on precisely chewing the knots
and trying to untie them. They tried all different bite styles:
the Front Chiclet Teeth Mouse Gnaw, the Side-Tooth Crusher
Chew, the Canine Loop De-Knotter. They all seemed satisfying.
A dog that likes to have a security-toy may really get into
it with the UKO. All in all the UKO is a fun fetch and chew
toy. This toy rates high on flopability. It is easy to hold
& chew. The toy is nice & soft for indoor play. It
does not have a squeaker so it is also quiet.

Beast Review:

Both Beasts like to fetch it and like to run with it flopping
out of their mouths. After a good game of tug its perfect
to curl up with & chew & gnaw & gnaw...

"I highly recommend the Chiclet
Teeth Mouse Gnaw on this toy!"

"Why won't anyone play I-smack-you-in-the-face-tug
with me?"

Durability:

|
The UKO is a fabric toy. It can be shredded & torn by
dogs with a high shred-drive - but they will find it satisfying.
The UKO is designed for dogs that are gentler on their toys
or dogs that like a soft toy. It may last longer than a plush
toy because there is no squeaker to drive them to kill it.
|
Lifespan:
|
The Beasts still have their UKO but much like Chuck
Norris views the world - they could destroy it if they
wanted to.
|
Cost vs. Durability:
  
|
Match this toy up with your dog's play style and this is
a nicely priced toy that is created & sold with the intention
of providing safe, fun toys for dogs and to benefit rescue
efforts.
|
Safety:
  
|
This is a soft fabric toy. It has no squeakers or hard parts.
If pieces are torn off they could be ingested. We would rate
this toy as safe as a rope toy. As with any dog toy its use
should be monitored and should be removed if it begins to
show chew damage.

A great toy that is not intended for bold shredders.
