Dog Toys Organic

The Internet is receiving a lot of searches for "dog toys organic". If you've ever wondered what qualifies a dog toy as being organic, as well as where you can find organic toys for your pet, read on.

Reports of lead in dog toys abound. Canine mouth cancer is also on the rise. Are the two connected? Some dog professionals are beginning to believe so. In an effort to protect their dogs from toxic dangers, many dog lovers are turning to organic dog toys as a natural alternative to more traditional offerings.

By and large, organic products are manufactured from raw materials that have been grown or developed without the use of chemicals or pesticides. If you've decided it's in your own pet's best interest to only play with organic dog toys, your next step is to weed through the toys on the market to find the ones advertised as organic. That said, how do you really know if they are actually organic? You have to depend on the manufacturer's label for the most part, but here are some additional guidelines to help you make your selections.

Avoid:

• Toys containing polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Toys that use chemical dyes that may contain heavy metals

Do look for

• Toys made from unbleached fabrics
• Toys made from organically-grown cotton or hemp
• Toys colored using natural botanical dyes

It should be noted that no toy should be assumed organic unless it is certified so on the label. Terms like "all natural", eco-friendly" and "recycled" are often used on a variety of quality dog toys, but they are not the same as being organic.

A search of the Internet quickly reveals that sources for dog toys organic are mainly limited to one manufacturer, and that is SimplyFido™. This company appears to be on the cutting edge of organic toys and accessories for dogs. They construct their toys made from organically-grown fibers. The fabric for each toy is triple washed in purified water, and the toys are dyed using 0nly natural botanicals. This means they are free from the carcinogens contained in many chemical dyes. This dye process also results in each toy's unique appearance, according to how well the dye takes to the fabric in each batch.

SimplyFido™ collections include:

• Plush toys: Choose from six, ten-inch assorted stuffed animal figures including Lolly the Lamb and Oscar the Monkey.
• Squeaker rings: These are similar to the plush collection except that each animal's body contains a squeaker and has a hole in the center. The arms are also stretchable, so your dog can enjoy a good game of tug-o-war.
• Petite toys: This set is a six-inch version of the plush animal collection.
• Hemp toys: This collection is made from hemp. Hemp fibers are very strong, yet they are also quite soft. Dogs typically can't resist chewing hemp because it has a naturally sweet flavor.
• Bones: Plush or cotton canvass, petite or regular size, each of these stuffed bones contains a squeaker to amuse your pet.
• Blankets: Made from organic cotton knit fabric, these blankets come equipped with a head from one of the plush figure collection.

Although not toys, SimplyFido™ also offers organic T-shirts in sizes extra small through medium.
