Suits these stages
Is the West Paw Tux Treat Chew right for your dog?
- Who it’s for
- Turning a chew into a job — the hollow centre takes food, so a heavy chewer works for the reward instead of just grinding.
- Who should skip it
- You have a very small dog. Owners report the large size being too big for little mouths.
The verdict
The same tough Zogoflex material as the Hurley, but hollow, and that changes what the toy does with a dog's afternoon. A solid chew is satisfying for as long as the dog feels like chewing; a stuffed one is satisfying until the food is gone, which is considerably longer and considerably more tiring. Stuff it, freeze it, and an adolescent who was going to redecorate your sofa has a project instead. West Paw guarantees it as tough and it floats. Owners describe it as surviving pit bulls with no wear and bouncing unpredictably, which adds a play dimension, with the usual mixed opinions on price and a note that the large runs big for small dogs. Between this and the Hurley, buy the Tux if your problem is boredom and the Hurley if your problem is teeth.
Drawbacks
- Large size is too big for small breeds, per owners
- Needs washing after every stuffed session
