Does anyone know a dog that doesn't chew? Have you ever returned home to find your new shoes with doggy damage or your favorite book ripped to shreds? How about a DVD with teeth marks in it? Dogs get bored and puppies need to teethe. Dogs, like babies, like to "taste" their world, so chewing is normal behavior. Providing your dog with plenty of toys will prevent your personal items from being destroyed.
But do any dog toys last longer than two minutes for a dog who chews aggressively? If they are made of Zogoflex, they do.
What is Zogoflex? This is an extremely tough material that is pliable, buoyant and designed to be recyclable. Virtually no waste is created in the manufacturing process of Zogoflex. Zogoflex material is made in the USA. It is non-toxic and FDA compliant. It's used to create dog toys that are durable and fun for your dog. These toys are guaranteed against doggy damage.
As an important note, Zogoflex and any of its components do not contain any known sources of lead, cadmium, mercury, latex, natural rubber, phthalates, hormones, Bisphenol A or asbestos. That's pretty significant, considering the news not long ago about dog toys on the market that were harmful to dogs.
Zogoflex is also dishwasher safe. If it gets dirty, it can be placed on the top rack of your dishwasher and will come out clean and looking like new.
The Zogoflex line of toys includes the following:
How is Zogoflex guaranteed?
If you have a dog that is able to damage a Zogoflex toy, then your dog must be an amazingly powerful chewer as the return rate is less than 1%. You can return the damaged toy for a one-time free replacement or a refund, your choice. The damaged toys are inspected for weaknesses and then recycled. Since there are 5 different styles in the Zogoflex product line, that means 5 free replacements if your dog damages one toy from each style. Due to the different shapes and sizes of the Zogoflex toys, some dogs may be able to damage one style of toy but may not be able to damage another style.
Finally -- a dog toy that stands up to bulldogs, Jack Russell terriers and any other aggressive chewers and is eco friendly too!
