Sodapup
What's to love: Keep pets occupied during the holidays. Sodapup makes durable dog toys and treat dispensers in fun themes. How about a baked turkey-shaped treat dispenser or gingerbread cookie chew toy for the dog that likes to chew?
What does it do: Sodapup specializes in toys for dogs that are chewers. They are made in the United States out of a safe proprietary formula. The company says there are three compounds they use for the toys: "Original for super chewers, Puppy for the tender mouths of teething pups and Magnum ... for dogs that destroy everything!"
