Today’s feature photos (and product) showcase the Tuggo dog toy. We will share more details about the product in the days ahead, but I have to tell y’all my dachshund pack (especially my reds) really seem to enjoy their new toy. Proof is in the pictures. Playing tug-of-war (between a human and dachshund) can increase the risk of a back injury for our long-body hounds (and it’s something we do not recommend) because of the unevenness of it. However, when two more closely, evenly matched dachshunds play tug-of-war the risk is a lot less which… is why we like this new toy. We think it’s particularly great for households with multiple dachshunds. We all know dachshunds love to play. What do you think?!
