Natural Dog Toys
Dogs love to play with toys, and we love to play with them! We are accustomed to seeing so many types of toys that it can be hard to select what the best ones are for them. Now, we have options that are not only fun for you and your dog but are also more natural in construction and more eco-friendly.
Jute toys:
Jute is a natural material that offers great texture in the toys. It can be woven into knotted rope toys or shaped as legs or arms and added to a plush toy. Jute is also the material used for working dog toys because it is an easy material for a dog to grab well and hold onto.
Rubber toys:
Toys made of natural rubber provide a greener option while also giving your dog a pliable and sturdy toy option. They can be shaped into anything and can be infused with an aroma like vanilla. They may or may not have a squeaker, but they are all long lasting, hard to destroy toys.
Recycled product toys:
There are toys that incorporate a recyclable product like the water bottle covered toys. These are usually plush animal covers that fully conceal a plastic water bottle. It provides your dog with a fun toy while giving a water bottle another purpose.
There are other toys that use recycled products to create the toy. Often the materials come from recycled plastic water bottles that have been used to create all sorts of repurposed materials like strings and fabrics. Some toys also use recycled plastic bottles for the stuffing in a plush toy!
Rubber can also be a recycled toy option. Some toy companies use reground materials (otherwise discarded rubber materials from creating other products) to create all new items like chew bones and balls.
