Lucky Dog Shovel Tug Toy

The Lucky Dog Shovel Tug is a shovel shaped tug toy for dogs who pull hard and do not need a squeaker to stay interested. American Dog built it for power tuggers and aggressive players of all sizes, which makes it a two person job in the sense that you are holding one end. It is one of the cheaper toys in the range and one of the more serious ones in construction.

The head measures 6 inches by 6 inches and the toy runs 15 inches from end to end including the handle. It is made from 1680 by 1680 nylon ballistic in silver and black, with a dual fold handle for you to grip, and it is crunchy and squeakerless rather than noisy, which makes it easier to live with indoors. American Dog states that supervised play is always recommended, because no dog toy is indestructible.

American Dog has been making dog gear in Colorado since 2014, and the company says every product is made in the USA. Handmade in the USA by American Dog, our Denver partner brand, and shipped from Denver, usually within five to seven business days. Not made by Sniff and Shift. The ballistic toys are layered and stitched rather than molded, which is why they hold a shape like this one.
