While being kind to the earth, let your dog be entertained

We all like to pet our dogs, but the good news is that giving them toys is actually good for them. Depending on the toy you choose, you can help them exercise, maintain mental stimulation, or clean their teeth and gums. Of course, we all hope to make sustainable choices that are beneficial to the planet, but with so many toys to choose from, how do you choose toys with true ecological certification?

This is why we put together the best environmentally friendly dog ​​toys, including chew toys, drag toys, snack dispensers and chase toys. Many of these are made from recycled materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. All of these materials are either completely recyclable or biodegradable. So, when you play with your dog, you can also be sure that you have made a green choice.

This toy is made of natural rubber and rice fiber shell, which is non-toxic, so you can ensure that your dog will not come into contact with any chemicals when chewing well.

Its irregular shape also gives it unpredictable jumping ability, making the game time more interesting.

The ingenious design of this toy includes multiple holes, which means that the dog will enjoy hours of entertainment while trying to get the snacks inside.

Like all T-shirts, they can also be washed in a washing machine, which makes it easy to keep things from drooling.

Cannabis quickly absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and returns 70% of its nutrients to the soil as it decomposes, making it an excellent environmental choice for dog toys. Its earthy smell and interesting texture also make it very suitable for chewing.

If the fierce tug-of-war game sometimes makes your back sore, the extra-long handle on this pulley may be a good solution. Handmade from 100% unbleached three-strand cotton, it is also perfect for cleaning your dog's teeth and gums.

But their benefits don't stop there-they are also tasteless and will not fall off (unlike some other natural chews), and they are rich in minerals and nutrients that are good for your dog.

The creators of this chew box are filled with 100% sustainable wooden chews, and they understand that even the best chew toys cannot last long among passionate chewers.
