Chewing is often thought of as negative dog behavior—especially when it relates to your pooch chewing on your shoes or furniture. However, there are many benefits to chewing for dogs that you may not be aware of. The key to keep your possessions safe, but also allow your dog to reap all the benefits of chewing is to redirect that behavior to chew toys for dogs. Despite common associations made with dogs and bones, bones can be dangerous for dogs. They can harm your dog’s mouth as well as cause broken teeth, choking, digestion issues, and blockages. Cooked bones are especially unsafe! We recommend durable, non-consumable chew toys to safely satisfy your pup’s instinct to chew. SodaPup's chew toys are made for the most aggressive chewers. Our rubber and nylon durable dog toys are designed with power chewer dogs in mind. Chewing can help clean your pup’s teeth and gums. The act of chewing helps smooth the teeth and scrapes away at tartar. It also promotes saliva that cleanses your dog’s mouth and freshens breath. Just like yoga or meditation may be calming for humans, chewing can be a Zen activity for dogs. When nervous, dogs tend to chew in an effort to ease those feelings. If your fur baby gets stressed at the sound of fireworks and storms or suffers from separation stress, try giving them a chew toy during those times to help keep them calm and happy. Chewing is also a great way to provide mental stimulation, since it’s a really exciting activity for dogs that require a lot of their focus. A chew toy is a must for puppies! Chewing can help ease the pain that puppies experience while they are teething. If your pup’s gums seem extra tender, then you can try putting a chew toy in the freezer before giving it to your pup for an added soothing effect. Chewing also promotes teeth growth so your puppy can develop healthy and strong adult teeth. We have rubber toys, specifically formulated for puppies made from our proprietary Puppy Rubber compound that’s only available in pink color. It’s an exceptionally soft material that’s gentle on sore gums, while providing durability for developing jaws. Note: not all pink color toys are made for puppies. In fact, most pink toys just happen to be pink in color, but aren’t specially designed for puppies. All Sodapup toys are made in USA from the safest proprietary materials that are non-toxic, pet-safe, food-safe, and top rack dishwasher safe. Our products provide tremendous value because they’re built to last. We have a wide selection of chew toys with tons of fun shapes, designs, colors, and sizes for you to choose from for your fur babies; after all, variety is the spice of life for your dogs as well as yourself! It is important to make sure you are choosing an appropriate and safe chew toy for your dog. Be aware of your dog’s chewing habits, strength, and what size of toy works best for them. Keep an eye out for signs that the toy may be dangerous or need replacing. Always take your time choosing a suitable chew toy for your pets—you mustn't rush and buy impulsively. Scrutinize the toy's quality, safety, and appropriateness against your dog's age and size. Here are some guidelines in finding the perfect chew toy for your fur baby: Durability: Durability is perhaps the most important consideration. Many dog toy companies use cheap fillers in their materials which reduces the material's tear strength. To the naked eye, the material seems durable, but when put to the test with your dog, these materials don't hold up. At SodaPup, we use premium materials that are very durable. Our proprietary natural rubber materials have very high tear strength to resist destruction. Dog-Safe Materials: Safety is extremely important, especially when you’re dealing with products that go into your dog’s mouth. All SodaPup toys are made from our proprietary non-toxic materials that are food-safe, dog-safe, BPA- and phthalate-free, and Prop 65 compliant. They’re also top rack dishwasher safe. Correct Sizing: A toy's durability has largely to do with the quality of the material and the size of the toy. If a toy is too small for your dog so that he can get it in his back teeth, then no matter the material, your dog will destroy it. So, it’s critical to buy the right size toy. When in doubt about the correct size, buy the larger size. SodaPup’s nylon chew toys are uniquely designed to be one size fits all: thin enough for puppies, yet large enough for big, powerful chewers. Durability We specialize in innovative toys for power chewers. SodaPup natural rubber toys are made with a proprietary power chewer compound called PuppyPrene. Our rubber toys come in three compounds: Original for most power chewers, Puppy (only available in pink) for the tender mouths of teething pups, and Magnum, our signature black formula for dogs that destroy everything! Note: not all pink toys are made for puppies. SodaPup nylon toys are made from our proprietary PETstrong material. Our nylon toys are super durable and designed to be one size-fits-all: thin enough for the smallest chewers yet large enough for bigger dogs. While nearly all of our toys are made from nylon or natural rubber, we do have a few toys that are made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), which is a form of synthetic rubber. Safety Safety is our top concern and that’s why we have developed the safest non-toxic pet toy materials on the market that are also Food-Safe, BPA- and phthalate-free. Our toys are also dishwasher safe (top rack), making clean-up simple. Furthermore, our proprietary nylon and natural rubber materials have high tear strength to resist destruction. Made in USA We understand that we live in a global economy, but we also believe that if our products can be made at home, then we should produce them here. Manufacturing overseas exploits cheap labor, lowers standards for the planet, and compromises quality control. As a veteran-owned business we believe in keeping jobs in America. We believe it results in higher quality products that are produced responsibly. Not all dogs, and not all dog parents are alike. At SodaPup, we've created unique collections to appeal to different audiences. Our brands include USA-K9 (inspired by military objects and built to withstand the demanding use of professional K9 handlers in law enforcement and the military), Industrial Dog (inspired by American tradesmen and women), Spotnik (inspired by dogs in space), MuttsKickButt (inspired by iconic American objects) and, of course, SodaPup (inspired by our favorite iconic American junk food). We've also launched a healthy dog treat brand called Dogtastic. Like our toys, our dog treats are made in the USA and made from only human-grade ingredients. Most of our treats are gluten-free, sugar-free, soy-free and salt-free. Your dogs will love them, and they work beautifully inside our wide array of treat dispensers and treat puzzles for dogs. At SodaPup we believe that our choices define us. We’re not just a company driven by the bottom line. We’re committed to doing business in ways that are good for people and the planet, not to mention your dog. All our products are manufactured in the USA where we can ensure the integrity of our materials, our process and ultimately our quality. Our toys are built to last so that your hard-earned dollars go farther, even if you have a four-legged toy destroyer in your life!
