Why we chose it

A licensed design is a straightforward way to stand out on a shelf full of plain rope and plush toys, and this range covers a choice of fruit-themed designs rather than just one. It's as much a gift-shelf item as a practical toy pick.

Full description

A licensed children's book character on a dog toy is really just a colour and pattern choice with a story attached, but it's a genuinely different look to the usual plain rope or plush.

These are Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar tugs for dogs, bringing the book's vibrant colours and patterns onto a toy designed for dogs, across a choice of designs including an apple.

Who it's for: owners who want a distinctive, licensed-design toy rather than a plain one, particularly fans of the book itself.
