Advise the best chew toys to your customers
Providing the right chew toy to dogs is crucial. A low-quality bone can be dangerous, with the risk of splintering and potential damage to the dog's intestines or other internal organs. Additionally, hard materials can contribute to dental problems. Therefore, it is essential to choose tested chew toys of high quality.
At Warmako, we understand the need for safe and durable chew toys for dogs. Our range offers a variety of options that not only last long but also promote the health and well-being of the dog.
Why is chewing important for dogs?
Most dogs love to chew, but did you know that chewing also has benefits for their health? Chewing releases endorphins, making dogs feel happy. Moreover, chewing on a bone can help with weight management and reduce hunger after meals.
How do you choose the right chew toy?
When choosing a chew toy, it is essential to consider the size and strength of the toy, as well as the dog's chewing needs and chewing strength.

Spot Bam-Bones
Spot Bam-Bones combine bamboo and nylon fibers for extra strong and durable chew toys, perfect for powerful chewers. Bam-Bones have a woody look, but without the drawbacks like splintering. Chewing creates small bristles that act as a toothbrush. These keep the dog's teeth clean and prevent tartar buildup. The toy does not remain smooth or undamaged.
If the dog manages to bite off small pieces, there is no choking hazard, as these pieces are as small as a grain of rice and pass smoothly through the stool. This makes Bam-Bones safer than, for example, rawhide bones. If large pieces break off immediately, then the chosen chew toy is too soft or too small for the dog.
For powerful chewers, we recommend Bam-Bones Plus Easy Grip. These chew toys are extra strong and have an ergonomic shape, making it easy for the dog to hold the bone between its front paws. The texture with raised knobs is pleasant for the dog to chew on.
West Paw Zogoflex
All West Paw Zogoflex toys are made from recycled plastic and offer long-lasting playtime. Choose from a range of options, including Zogoflex Hurley and Zogoflex Qwizl for normal to strong chewers. For extreme chewers, the West Paw Zogoflex Rumpus is the best choice.
In addition to chew toys, West Paw has great toys for interactive play and puzzles. Using the Quick Guide that is shown at the productpages, you can quickly and easily choose the right toy based on activity (play - puzzle - chew) and the dog's chewing strength (soft chewer - medium chewer - strong chewer).
All Zogoflex products come with the Love It Guarantee. If the Zogoflex toy proves unsuitable for the dog within six months of purchase, we will replace the toy with an alternative from West Paw. The right to replacement is limited to once per design, per household. Read more about the terms here.
Kong chew toys
The classic Kong in its recognizable red color has been a favorite of dogs worldwide for decades. Due to the special shape of the Kong, the dog toy bounces unpredictably, thus training the dog's concentration and coordination. The Kong can be filled with dog treats or spreadable goodies for extra playtime.
For the strongest chewers, the Kong Extreme is designed. This black Kong is recommended worldwide by veterinarians, trainers, and dog lovers. Kong Puppy is developed as a puppy's first toy, made of pure 100% latex which is slightly softer than the original Kong rubber. Kong Puppy is designed to meet the needs of the puppy's teeth and helps teach proper chewing behavior.
Beco Bone
Beco's natural rubber products are the sturdiest dog toys Beco makes. They can compete with the leading synthetic chew toys in the pet industry. Made from plant-based waste, Beco offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional chew toys. The Beco Treat Bone is the sturdiest toy in the entire Beco Rubber collection. Although less sturdy than some other options, it offers a safe and attractive choice for most dogs.
The Beco rubber toys comes with a 'Strength Guarantee'. This guarantee means that when a dog owner discovers that the Beco natural rubber toy is damaged beyond normal wear and tear from the dog's use, they can claim replacement or refund once from the retailer where they purchased the product. Contact us for the conditions.
Safe alternative to wooden sticks
For dogs who love chewing on sticks, we recommend the Petstages Dogwood Durable Stick, which mimics the sensation of chewing on wood without the risk of splinters. Additionally, the Bam-BonesPlus Branch and Bamboo Stick are also safe alternatives to a wooden stick.
When to replace?
Although synthetic chew bones like Bam-Bones, Dogwood, Deerhorn, and Nylabone are known for their durability, it is essential to regularly check for signs of wear and tear. If the chew toy shows cracks, tears, or sharp edges, it's time to replace the toy. By timely replacing worn chew toys, the dog's safety and enjoyment are ensured. Of course, we always recommend supervising the dog when using a chew toy.
Below is a handy schedule for when it's time to replace a chew toy.
