The donated Strong Chew stuffable cone toys can be filled with tasty spreads and treats, helping to keep dogs mentally engaged and promoting non-destructive chewing habits.\n\n\n“Shelter dogs need daily enrichment, and this season of giving is the perfect opportunity to provide them a fun and fulfilling activity,” said Glen S.

This entertaining treat toy can even be frozen for the ultimate chewing challenge.\n\n\nNylabone maintains long-standing partnerships with these organizations and supports hundreds of additional local and national charities through the Nylabone Cares program. Committed to helping dogs find and stay in their forever homes, Nylabone Cares educates pet parents on why dogs chew and donates high-quality chew toys that promote healthy chewing habits.\n\n\nThese contributions from Nylabone support Central Garden & Pet’s Impact strategy, which is dedicated to driving sustainability...
