Mammoth Flossy Chews 3 Knot Tug with Tennis Ball, Medium 20 in
A durable, low cost rope tug for small to medium dogs that still needs supervised play.
We bought LaRoo Dog Rope Toys, Interactive Durable Cotton Chew Toy for Small/Medium Dogs (19" Brick/Building Block). It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a cotton blend rope tug of almost the same length for small to medium dogs, from a long running rope toy maker with independent test coverage.
The short version
- Owners of small to medium dogs who play tug and fetch
- Dogs that tear up plush toys with squeakers
- Anyone wanting a cheap, durable everyday rope
- Your dog swallows what it chews off, since rope fibers are a risk
- You want a specific color
- You need a toy your dog can be left alone with
What owners like
- Holds together through long tug and fetch sessions better than cheaper ropes
- Strong pullers struggled to unravel it in testing
- Low price for a toy that lasts weeks of hard play
Common complaints
- Colors are random, so the one that arrives may not be the one pictured
- Very determined chewers can still shred it
- Fibers fuzz over time and the rope must be replaced once it frays

What it does
A 20 inch knotted cotton blend rope tug with a tennis ball, sized for small to medium dogs; reviewed here in place of the LaRoo 19 inch building block rope toy.
- Knots at each end give two hands, or two dogs, something to grip
- Tennis ball adds a fetch toy to the rope
- Thick braided rope made for tug, toss and chewing
- No squeaker or stuffing to pull out
- Same design comes in five lengths to match dog size
A solid pick for owners who want a plain rope for tug and fetch that holds up better than most cheap ropes. A rope toy review site that compared dozens of ropes rated Mammoth's 3 knot design the best overall. The trade-offs are random colors, and like any rope it needs supervision and should be thrown out once it frays.
