With so many dog toys for pet parents to choose from today, it’s important for pet parents to consider certain factors when buying a dog toy. This includes the age of your dog, size of the dog, whether you’re using the toy for outdoor or indoor play, and play style.
It’s with this in mind that we here at Chopper & Otis have reviewed the top 50 best eco-friendly toys ever made. This means that all our products are 100% non-toxic and recyclable! Have fun!
Pet parents become very concerned when their little buddies get sick. Watery eyes, diarrhea, lack of appetite, itching and lethargy can all indicate that something is wrong. If a trip to the vet doesn’t shed light on the cause, it’s time to be a doggy detective.
You have to break out the notebook and investigate. Allergies and toxins can mess with your pup’s health. We have three areas for you to search for health clues.
Earth Day is coming up at April 22nd, and we love doing our part to help preserve natural resources and improve the world we love.
Earth Day is the birthday of the modern environmental movement. This holiday was first celebrated in 1970, raising awareness and concern for living things and the environment. Connection between pollution and public health was expressed in the news and by citizen groups. The goal of Earth Day is a healthy, sustainable environment, and taking any actions we can to help bring that about.
Dogs enjoy smelling things, even gross things. (Based on how much we enjoy baths, you’d think that we love smelling ourselves.) But, we don’t necessarily like playing with stinky toys.
It’s easy to think of our toys as durable like blue jeans, assuming they can have the same cleaning schedule. (We know that people wear a t-shirt once but wear jeans ten times before washing them.) The truth is that our toys go into our mouths, unlike your jeans. They need to be washed regularly.
Don’t worry. We have tips for toy cleaning.
Our goal is to make the world a better place while providing eco-friendly fun for our furry friends. Every brand we carry is thoroughly examined to ensure they align with our values. We bark about each one because they meet our criteria.
We love a company who works to help the environment. Our passion for picking up pollution and making nature more enjoyable is an important part of who we are at Chopper & Otis.
We take pride in the lines we represent. We sniff out toys that are non-toxic, toys that meet our approval process. Know that we care about your best friend as much as you do.
Not only are we driven to represent brands whose ideologies about the environment fit our own, we are also delighted that these toys aren’t bad for your buddy.
Plastic and chemical toy allergies do not always start when a dog is a puppy, they can actually strike at any age. Extreme allergic reactions from dog toys may reveal in swollen muzzles and/or eyes, sudden gasping and breathing trouble, and rapid-onset diarrhea or vomiting. Additional symptoms may include: excessive paw-licking, scratching and butt-scooting, hair loss, either an all-over thinning or bald spots, coughing, sneezing, or asthma, vomiting, and swelling of the feet, face, or joints.
