Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the actual dimensions for the monkey shape (14.5 cm + 6 cm) — what does the '+6 cm' refer to?

  14.5 cm is the body length and +6 cm likely refers to the tail, hanging legs, or an appendage. So the full toy including all extending parts is approximately 20.5 cm. The elephant at 28×7 cm is the largest in the set. Choose size based on your dog's muzzle length — the toy body should be too large to swallow fully.

• Is the duck shape at 12×8 cm appropriate for a small Chihuahua or is it too big?

  At 12×8 cm, the duck is a small linen toy suitable for Chihuahuas, Yorkies, and other toy breeds. It is sized to be carried and chewed rather than used as a fetch ball. For a Chihuahua, this is the right scale. The monkey (14.5 cm) and elephant (28 cm) are better suited for small-medium to medium breeds respectively.

• Does linen have a natural scent that dogs are attracted to?

  Linen is made from flax fibers and has a mild, natural earthy scent. Some dogs are drawn to natural fiber smells; others are indifferent. The toy becomes more appealing to most dogs once it carries the dog's own scent after a few play sessions. Soaking in low-sodium broth before first introduction helps with dogs that are not immediately interested.

• Can this be used as a retrieve toy for a sporting breed like a Spaniel?

  Yes — the various animal shapes (monkey, duck, lion, elephant) are appropriate retrieve toy sizes for Spaniels. The lion (16×7 cm) and elephant (28×7 cm) provide a comfortable muzzle-grip for medium-sized dogs during retrieve games. Linen construction is soft enough not to cause mouth soreness during repeated retrieves.

• Does the lion shape at 16×7 cm have any attached parts (mane, tail) that could be chewed off?

  Plush/linen character toys often have attached decorative elements (tails, ears, manes) that are sewn on. These represent the highest ingestion risk — inspect before each play session. If mane or tail stitching shows any loosening, remove the toy and repair or discard. Swallowed fabric appendages are a GI obstruction risk.

• How does linen hold up compared to cotton rope toys for dogs that chew rather than carry?

  Linen is denser and more tightly woven than standard cotton, making it more durable under sustained chewing. A cotton rope toy for a moderate chewer may last 2–3 weeks; linen under the same conditions typically lasts 4–8 weeks. The denser weave also means fewer loose fibers in the early stages of use.
