Leaps and Bounds Braided Rope Review

Hello! The weather here has been beautiful lately, so Meadow and company have been spending a lot of time outdoors. I hope you're getting the chance to spend time outside with your furry family members!

One of Meadow's favorite outside games is tug. We've gone through lots of tugs. If left to her devices, Meadow likes to gnaw and shred tug toys, so she doesn't get to chew on or play with these rope tug toys without supervision. If allowed to chew on a rope tug like this, she will wreck it within a matter of minutes. Meadow is STRONG, so any tug toy for her has to be able to hold up to some serious pulling, shaking, and gnawing.

We found this Leaps and Bounds XL Braided Rope at PetCo, (approx. $14.99) and it looked sturdy enough to hold up to Meadow's vigorous tug playing. The tug itself is about 2 feet long - so plenty of room to hold on to the end without accidentally getting fingers or hands nipped during play. There are also three knots to help protect hands during a game of tug, and to give puppy something to hold onto. Meadow is strong enough to almost pull me out of a chair when she's tugging, and this rope is braided, and made to be strong. We've had this tug now for several weeks, and after lots of tug playtime, it has held up well. In fact, this tug rope came with us over Memorial Day weekend, and Meadow and her doggie cousin Kosta, who is slightly bigger than her, played tug together with this toy, and it held up wonderfully. The only wear it shows so far is a spot where Meadow chomped on the rope during play, and managed to actually cut through some of the threads. I definitely recommend this tug for strong dogs. It is sturdy and relatively economical. This is one of Meadow's favorite toys! I think the photos speak for themselves in terms of how much Meadow enjoys this Leaps and Bounds XL Braided Rope.
