Moochews are super durable tug toys made from recycled rubber milking tubes — you know, the ones they use on cow milking machines! The milking tubes are washed and sanitized, so they’re safe for pups and people alike, and the residual bovine smell, which is non-offensive to human noses, drives dogs nuts (in a good way).
Happy Ruff-mas! We rounded up 20 of our favorite toys for dogs of all sizes, chew-strengths, and activity levels. Give your dog something to really howl about this holiday season!
Neroko is a Finnish design studio that was born out of “a great love for dogs and a passion for sustainable Finnish design”, which is to say that Neroko and Dog Milk are two peas in a pod. Their modern pet line includes solid birch beds and “habitats”, stackable ceramic bowls and birch food containers, and even natural jute dog toys! (And how cute is that little dog sculpture?)
RESQ}pup leashes are made of marine grade rope that has been hand spliced and whipped just the way a sailor would. Everything is hand-done and made right here in the USA. Each leash has solid brass hardware as well as a hand-stamped leather tag. The colors are limited to try to keep with the marine palette.
Brooklyn’s Found My Animal is using style and good design to help homeless pets across the country. The company, which donates a portion of their profits to shelter pets, makes “accessories for adopted animals and their people.” It seems they’ve definitely put their collection together with me in mind, as they’ve got a shop full of pretty things I want to call my own.

Gray is one of those colors that instantly makes me think of winter. Mungo & Maud has a great collection of gray dog accessories including a leash, collar and knit sweater. There is something sophisticated about Mungo & Maud’s accessories that blur the lines between modern and traditional.
The Gourdo from Ruffwear is — well — shaped like a gourd. Although now that I see them all grouped together like this they kinda look like multicolored sperm. Anyway, it is made from natural latex rubber, a renewable and sustainable resource and the black one contains 30% reclaimed-rubber.
