One of the best parts of this job is that we get to test and review a lot of products. Jenifer usually does all the kid stuff, but we both have fuzzy family members, and honestly, a lot of the toys offered by West Paw Design are kid-safe grade too!

West Paw Deisgn, is creating durable products for pets from environmentally sustainable manufacturing materials and processes.

I’ve gotten cool pet products before, but as soon as I opened these, I saw that one was for Woody (the golden retriever boy), and one was for Spooky (cool black cat). It took them all of 30 seconds to get into action . . .

I’m sure there is catnip in this one!

Woody was equally enamored with his and grabbed it AND Spooky’s toy and within 2 minutes had the squeaker out of his and most of the stuffing pulled out. He likes to pull it all apart and sleep with it – almost like a nest. He will carry around the shell for months (if it doesn’t get too nasty, in which case we eliminate it when he isn’t looking – I know cruel, but hey, he has others, believe me!).

West Paw Designs is extremely eco-conscious and works hard to find sustainable and safe materials to work with. They describe their eco-friendly practices well on their website.
