Best Rope & Tug Toys

The Mammoth Flossy Chews rope is the rope tug toy every other brand is compared against, and it's been that way for years. The 100% cotton fibers genuinely work as dental floss during chewing, and the three-knot design gives both you and your dog solid grip during tug sessions. Replace it when the fibers start coming loose — ingested cotton rope fibers are a vet bill waiting to happen.

KONG took their indestructible reputation and applied it to the tug toy category with the Tugga Wubba, and it shows. The reinforced nylon shell over a squeaker ball creates a toy that's satisfying to tug, shake, and chase, while the four dangling tails give your dog multiple grab points. It's noticeably tougher than any plush tug toy on the market.

The Jolly Pets Tug-n-Toss is the Swiss army knife of dog toys — grab the handle for tug-of-war, throw it for fetch, or let your dog bat it around solo. The thick polyethylene walls don't puncture or deflate like rubber balls, and the vanilla scent is a surprisingly effective way to get picky dogs interested. It's not the best at any single thing, but it does three things well in one durable package.
