Is your dog a tough chewer? Think about how many toys they may have destroyed in their chewing career. It’s a lot, right? Sustainability has been a growing demand in the pet food industry, but is still a new concept when it comes to dog toys. Nationwide West Paw is a favorite among dogs and their owners when it comes to designing toys that feature recycled, sustainable material.
West Paw features recycled material in their classic Zogoflex line of toys. In fact, the Zogoflex material can be recycled infinitely, so if you’ve ever recycled an old toy, there’s a chance that your dog could play with it again in the future. Repurposing doesn’t stop with their line of plush toys that feature IntelliLoft stuffing and fabric. Made of recycled plastic bottles, IntelliLoft fiber toys keeps d-o-g-s busy while keeping plastic out of landfills.
For over twenty years, Bozeman has been home to West Paw’s headquarters. All of their beds, toys, and accessories are manufactured and recycled in their state-of-the-art, environmentally conscious facility. West Paw even uses recycled banana boxes to store finished toys and materials in their warehouse in an effort to reduce reliance on plastic totes. It’s easy to see why we’ve selected West Paw as the leader in the sustainable toy movement.
Eco Friendly Bonus Points: Buying a West Paw toy means no shipping and a reduced carbon footprint because you’re truly shopping local.
