Wrestling

Wrestling toys are made to be grabbed, kicked and fought with. For cats that means kicker toys held in the front paws and rabbit-kicked with the back legs, and for dogs it means tug toys built for two-way pulling. Both give an outlet for the rough play that otherwise lands on your hands. Pet Corner Dubai stocks around 27 from Petstages, Petmate and Petsafe.

What makes our wrestling toy range stand out

1. Kicker lengths sized for back-leg play

A kicker toy needs to be long enough for a cat to hold at the top and kick along its length. Petstages kickers are built to that proportion, which is why they get used properly.

2. Reinforced seams for real force

These toys take more punishment than any other category, so double stitching and bar-tacked stress points are the difference between weeks and months.

3. Redirects rough play away from hands

Giving an animal a legitimate target for grabbing and kicking is the practical fix for a cat or puppy that plays too hard with people.

4. Catnip and crinkle fillings

Scent and sound keep a cat committed to the toy through a long wrestling session rather than dropping it after a few kicks.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my cat kick toys with its back legs?

It is the natural killing bite and disembowelling motion cats use on prey they have caught. It is completely normal, and a cat doing it to a kicker toy is a cat not doing it to your forearm.

My cat attacks my hands and feet. How do I stop it?

Never use hands as a toy, even with a kitten, and keep a kicker toy within reach so you can redirect the moment it starts. If your cat grabs you, freeze rather than pulling away, since movement makes you more interesting prey. Then end the interaction and walk away.

Is tug of war bad for dogs?

No, played with rules. It builds impulse control when you start and end the game and your dog releases on cue. Avoid hard jerking with puppies whose adult teeth are still coming in, and keep the toy low rather than lifting the dog off the ground.

How do I know when to replace a wrestling toy?

Replace it when seams open, filling is exposed, or it has shrunk to something swallowable. These toys take the heaviest use in the house, so check them weekly rather than monthly.
