It will extend this far from the photo above. It is also good that the stretched part becomes whitish so that it looks like a realistic tongue.

The tongue is weaker than normal silicone, so if you stretch it too much, it may tear. There is enough room for stretching as shown in the picture.

I even tried to get him out from the side! This is how my dog looks like.

Currently only the tongue is made of silicone and the nose is made of resin. But the price is going to get higher and higher. 。。。。

※Tongues can be made of either old silicone or new real silicone.
