Flat, wide toys suit dogs who like to lie down and work at something with their paws as much as their mouth, and the Ocean Turtle is exactly that shape: broad and low, with limbs to grab hold of. It is the least tug-shaped thing in the Tuffy range and the most sit-and-chew, which makes it a good fit for a dog who settles with a toy rather than tearing round the garden with one.

It is built the way every Tuffy is, with bonded fabric layers, several rows of stitching, and webbing sewn over the seams so the join between panels is reinforced rather than left exposed. That construction adds bulk, which is why these toys float, and it survives a wash. Machine washable, air dry: the bonding does not like a tumble dryer, and the toy lasts a good deal longer if you skip it.

Worth saying plainly. No plush toy is safe with a dedicated destroyer left alone. Tuffy toys buy you months where an ordinary one buys days, but supervise the early sessions with a new dog, and bin it once the inner layers start to show through rather than waiting for the stuffing to come out.

Who it's for: Heavy chewers who prefer a flat toy to work at lying down, and owners who want one that washes rather than one that gets thrown away.
