Have you heard of Zogoflex? It’s a dog toy material developed by WestPaw, and it’s changed my life. Virtually indestructible, and recyclable at the end of their very long lifecycle (in longevity terms, these are the tortoise of dog toys), Zogoflex toys are tough enough for my strong chewers, and that’s saying something. Stella is a master of destruction, and Argo loves to play, but they have yet to wear one of these toys out over years of use.
“We are an eco friendly gift shop committed to bringing you the healthiest, most eco friendly products for your family, pets and home.
My first pregnancy inspired me to green up my routine and I began searching for healthy products to use on myself and in my home. I struggled to find products in my area that met my standards, and wondered if others were having the same problem. So I decided to start Good Things Green Things to offer healthy products for everyone, conveniently located in one place.
We have a great selection of products that have natural and organic ingredients, are biodegradable or compostable, certified fair trade, handmade, sustainable, recyclable or made from recycled materials. Being a Minnesotan, we also have a great selection of products from Minnesota including, skin care, non toxic cleaning products, and our own line of GMO free soy candles. *All of our products are free of parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, petroleum and sulfates.”

Lily’s favorite toy is a grubby, glow-in-the-dark basketball that I found in a parking lot one day. We took it home and washed it, and Lily can’t get enough. She shoves it with her snout, chases it across the yard, and barks at it when it goes too fast. But we don’t let her play with it all the time; the ball lives on top of the fridge for special occasions.
Rufus is a big fan of extra large plush toys – he loves when they’re so big, he constantly trips over them while he’s running. Right now, that happens to be a huge stuffed bunny.
My cats love anything with catnip, especially if it’s shaped like a mouse!
Lily’s favorite toy… has to be a toss-up between the Kong (the one where you paw at it and food comes out) and anything you can throw/play tug-of-war with. She’s a HUGE fan of ropes, especially if there’s something squishy, squeaky, or bitey in the middle.
Emma’s favorite toy was a stuffed cow that my husband brought home to her. She carried it to bed (her crate in my bedroom) every night, slept with it, took it room to room. One day while we were gone to a medical appointment, she ripped it open. Came home to stuffing everywhere. We’ve looked all over, I’ve searched the ‘net, & we cannot find another of those stuffed cows.
Please go meet Josie, she’s a sweet girl!

My dog’s favorite toys are the plush toys especially if they have a squeaky in the middle!

Buddy is a master chewer and no toy lasts too long for him~ the only thing that’s made it is the kong stuffed with PEANUT BUTTER! All other toys are reduced to bits, lol.
I’d guess the favorite of both dogs has got to be their Kongs (though I don’t think of that as a “toy” so much as “10 minutes of quiet”) stuffed with kibble, oats and peanut butter, then frozen solid. Aside from that, Nylabones, tennis balls and those skineez – at least until they kill the squeakers!
Nothing with stuffing!

Jimmy is crazy about tennis balls. Kylie loves her stuffies but since Jimmy came we cant have any out since he swallows the stuffing. They both eat their meals out of Premier Busy Buddy Kibble Nibble or Tug-A-Jug.
