I intend to lead a long, long life in doggie-years. In pursuit of canine longevity I try not to ingest anything that could contribute to my early demise. Since I spend an inordinate portion of my day chewing and licking both appropriate (toys), and – I admit – inappropriate (the occasional throw pillow) stuff, I’m very careful about what my toys are made of.

I don’t want to be ingesting harmful pesticides, herbicides, dyes and chemicals. That’s why simple, eco-friendly toys like those pictured above have tremendous appeal. They’re made of chemical-free certified organic cotton, without dyes or additives. Handmade in Vermont.

Note: not for super-destructive hounds.
