I am so glad to have the replacement velcro pieces for the Springpole! My pittie loves the Springpole I bought a year and a half ago, and we use it every day. When the velcro wore out I was not looking forward to buying a whole new Springpole and was so happy to see on the Tug Mutt web site that instead I could order replacment velcro! Thank you, Tug Mutt for your sustainability ethic!
