Safe Toys!
Did you know that the U.S. has zero safety regulations for the materials in dog toys? Our furry friends put plastic-laden and chemical leaching toys in their mouths every day. Even worse, when boredom strikes and our pooches have moved onto the next fun and fresh toy, the old ones get tossed in a landfill where they will never biodegrade, but continue to leach chemicals into our land, streams, and oceans. Argh. Thank goodness for www.HonestPetCompany.com, a company committed to making eco-friendly pet products consisting of natural and sustainable hemp fabrics, organic wool, and catnip. Their toys are durable, earth friendly, and made of safe materials. We’re proud to give them a 5-Paw Review! All products are made in the U.S. Josie loves them, and we think your dogs will too!
