How Adorable (and Safe) Is This Pufferfish?!

Unlike the cute but potentially deadly creature this toy represents, the Tough & Tumble Treat Dispenser Pufferfish from BRIGHTKINS proves perfectly safe. Interactive, fun and mentally stimulating, its durable rubber withstands rough play and bounces, and the puzzle-like design keeps dogs engaged as they work to release treats or kibble. In small (orange) and large (blue).

Dentist Recommended

How challenging can it be to brush a dog’s teeth? Even a dentist and dental hygienist for humans had trouble! So they invented the Chewmate Treatbrush from ALLNAT INNOVATIONS. The bone-shaped natural rubber toy brushes and cleans dog teeth, gums and tongue as they chew, helping to prevent dental disease. Floss slots and rubber bristles get the job done, with the ability to insert a dental chew, bully stick or other treat to encourage chewing. In extra-small/small and medium/large. POP, training and incentives available.

FEATURED VIDEO

NASC Media Spotlight

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
