What size dogs is the Small Tux designed for?

The Small 4" Tux is designed for dogs up to approximately 35 lbs. It's a great fit for small breeds like French Bulldogs, Shih Tzus, Cavaliers, and Dachshunds, as well as puppies of larger breeds who aren't yet ready for the Large size. If your dog is right on the border, size up to the Large.

What's the best way to fill a Small Tux?

Peanut butter (xylitol-free), cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, wet dog food, or a mix of small kibble and broth all work well. For the longest enrichment session, stuff it and freeze overnight — a frozen Small Tux can keep a small dog occupied for 20–45 minutes. Dawg Butter is a great dog-safe peanut butter alternative that fits perfectly.

Can the Small Tux connect to the Toppl?

Yes — West Paw designed the Tux and Toppl to connect together, creating a more complex two-piece puzzle toy. The Small Tux connects to the Small Toppl. Combined, they create a longer, more challenging enrichment toy that's harder for dogs to empty quickly.

Is the Small Tux durable enough for a small dog who chews aggressively?

Zogoflex is one of the toughest rubber compounds available for pet toys, and the Small Tux holds up well for most small breed chewers. West Paw backs it with a one-time replacement guarantee if your dog damages it. For very small dogs who are extreme chewers, supervise the first few sessions to assess how they interact with it.

Yes — the hollow Zogoflex construction makes the Tux buoyant. Once your dog has emptied the fill, it works as a fetch toy in the pool, lake, or beach. The bright Mint color also makes it easy to spot in the water.
