<\/td>\nHere’s an easy cotton chew toy for your little fuzzy friends. Made in the round with the ears made as you go and stuffed with fabric scraps (or polyfil), this toy is sure to please.<\/p>\n

Recommended for small puppies and dogs. My two year old Shih Poo had the bottom open by the time I finished taking pictures. Fortunately, it will be easy to fix and I was expecting it. We’ve bought toys for him that were supposed to be extra tough and he can chew off a leg in about half an hour or less.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
