It’s not often you find a dog toy that has been made right here in America.  Outsourcing from China has become so cheap that almost every tag I read says “made in China”. I worry about toys made in China because some have been found to contain high levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, and even arsenic.  All metals are highly toxic to humans and animals.  So, after researching American made toys to buy for the store, I’ve put together a list of my top 10 favorite dog toys made in the USA.

1. West Paw Zogoflex Toys- Hux, Hurley, Bumi, Huck, and Zisc.

These durable toys float, fly, and bounce. Environmentally friendly and great for big time chewers. Remy’s most favorite toy of all time is his blue Bumi.

2. West Paw Twist Tug Toy

This soft, durable tug toy is made from recycled plastic soda bottles.  West Paw toys are rigorously tested to ensure safety.

3. West Paw Tiny Turtle

These adorable toys are great for the little ones! They might be small, but they still have a strong squeaker.

4. West Paw Salsa Toys – Big and Small

These toys are incredibly soft and cuddly. This furry toy has long floppy legs and begs to be shaken and tugged!

5. Vibram 3″ and 4″ Balls

Made in the USA using clean rubber, these toys are tough and fun!

6. Vibram Sticks with Rope

Remy loves this toy! The rope makes it easy to throw in the back yard and it floats too!

7. Vibram Gator Squeaky Toy

Ok, maybe it’s because I’m a gator fan, but these toys are so cute and I love that they are made out of running shoe fabric.

8. Wigzi Lock N’ Play

These flexible and durable toys are guaranteed to last.  Thetoys are recyclable and even the packaging contains soy based ink!

9. Wigzi Stuff N’ Throw

These durable balls come in 3 sizes and you can stuff treats or dry kibble inside for more fun!

10. Jolly Pet 8″ Romb-n Play Ball

This huge ball and rope is great for large breed dogs and provides hours of fun.  It can be kicked, carried, tossed, and tugged and it even floats for pool fun!
