Making Dog Toys Sustainably

West Paw Design is an amazing company that designs, manufactures, sells, and ships their outstanding dog and cat toys and bedding all from under one roof – in Bozeman, Montana, USA



They strive to minimize waste in the manufacturing process (currently as low as 2.4%) by using efficient processes and re-using and recycling materials. Scrap materials are used to create new toys; Reclaimed and reused old boxes are utilized to store finished goods rather than plastic manufacturing totes (many reused boxes at our facility were even previously used to ship bananas before coming here - now that's a lot of reusing). They also incorporate recycled material in the shipping boxes.



Many raw materials used to produce the products also come from recycled or organic sources…recycled PET soda bottles, organic cotton and reclaimed cotton to name a few. The packaging is also made of PLA corn-based, petroleum-free plastic.



Buying Sustainable Dog Toys Locally

What better place to buy sustainable dog toys than at your local pet shop? This way you get to support the production of sustainable, ethically produced dog toys and support your local economy.



The Pet Basket in Alpharetta, GA carries West Paw Design toys (and many other brands) as well as a large selection of holistic and raw pet foods. I personally recommend Canidae dog food (also check out the Planet Dog toys). The employees at The Pet Basket will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.
