Each Sidekick is smooth on both sides. It measures about 4" at the widest part, 6" at the tallest part, 1/2" thick, and is the equivalent of 2 Grabbers in surface area. With 5 different extensions to chew on, it's the longest lasting shape for moderate to avid chewing.
The Sidekick is available in 3 color-coded toughness levels:
- Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).
- XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.
- XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid / pretty firm. No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers.
- Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.
Please note: the Sidekick is standing in the picture for visual purposes only - it does not "stand" well on its own otherwise, as the edges are very rounded for comfortable chewing.
Caution: This product is not a toy. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Recommended age 5 years upwards. Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. How long they last is typically equal to the amount and intensity of the chewing, as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress/anxiety levels, if other sensory strategies are in place, etc.). While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly. Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace if necessary if the item starts to show signs of wear and tear.
