Hyper Gnaws dog toy = FAIL

Hyper Gnaws Green Collection...


I purchased the Hyper Gnaws Green stick for the dogs. It was out of the package and enjoyed for maybe 4 minutes, before being destroyed.
The fabric ripped, the tennis ball partially disintegrated into rubber pieces, and a broken splintered chopstick was holding the toy together.

* the label states that this toy is "great for all sized dogs",

but is probably best for dogs with no teeth.

* busted up tennis ball, chop stick and stuffing came out of the ripped out fabric.

* ripped fabric, chopstick from interior, and round black rubber pieces.

* the tennis ball that was destroyed in under 4 minutes.

* made in China.

Shopping for Dog Tags

Hattie Rex- love these! But we need to provide a bit more info, so this may not work.

BowWowzerZ- lots of cute & colorful pet tags!
Animal Outfitters Online- so pretty! Alice needs one of these.

Hot Dog Collars- these are pretty standard. They look nice and are durable.

Lucky Pet- similar to those available at the big box pet stores.

Happy Tags on etsy- fun, hip dog collars.

UPDATE: We ended up going with Hot Dog Collars.

They have superfast turnaround time, were able to list the amount of info we needed on the tag, personable employees, they even stuck in some extra freebies & coupons for us. Oh, and the prices are VERY reasonable. We were able to get 50% off Alice's tag, plus FREE shipping. Awesomeness!

Alice got the large pink crown tag. Excellent quality and heavier than I imagined. Nice surprise!

Roo aka Zeus aka brindle dog, go a White Sox tag. Mr S is a huge fan, and Roo has little white sox...

Happy Independence Day weekend!

Wow, this summer is flying by!

The doggies have been enjoying the nice weather... playing in the yard, going out on walks, meeting the neighbors.

Not enjoying the fireworks or the recent thunder/hail storms.

If your pet has anxiety from the loud noises, check out my blogpost from July 2008, "Dogs & Fireworks". It features some ways to cope with anxiety. But of course check with your Vet first.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!
