TPE dog toys are the latest buzz words for sustainable dog products, but what are these popular toys, and what makes them so much better than traditional dog toys?
In this article, we dive deep into TPE dog toys so that you feel comfortable about giving your dog one of the safest, most durable types of toys in the world.
What Is TPE?
Without getting too technical, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are commonly used to mold various objects, including dog toys, kitchen supplies, and other home goods. Through the use of high thermal temperatures, the thermoplastic material is poured and molded into custom designs and shapes using a special injection molding process.
