GoughNuts Dog Toys

Zarabull & Co. is proud to be the Exclusive Canadian Distributor of this safe/ durable toy brand!

The GoughNuts Original rings & sticks contain a patent pending visual indicator system which promote safe play. By implementing the visual indicator (red inner color) dog owners can clearly see if the GoughNuts’ integrity has been compromised. They followed the basic known concept of “Green means GO and Red means STOP!” when coming up with the idea. Although over time they have expanded their exterior color selections the concept stayed the same. If you should see the red inner layer /core of the toy you should remove it from your dog and contact us for a replacement as we would no longer consider it ideal for play or safe for use as a chew toy. In order for the “GoughNuts’ Safety Indicator” to be functional the chew toy itself needs to have really durable characteristics - the manufacturers 30+ years of engineering & rubber technology experience has resulted in a nearly indestructible product!

Please note in order to be safe for play/chewing no toy is created dense enough to be indestructible as that would require the rubber formula to be too hard and could result in damage to your dogs teeth/jaw - even the densest GoughNuts product will pass the "rule of thumb" test most veterinarians reference

For Puppies: GoughNuts Lite rings are designed for the comfort of your dog. This line is for teething, interactive play and as an introduction level to the more dense GoughNuts product line. A swirl of a secondary color was added on the Lite line to indicate that the red safety indicator core does not existing inside and this toy is not designed for destructive / power chewers. These Lite rings have a narrower diameter which allows for easier carry function and play and also appeals to the smaller breed dogs.

For the active dog: There are several interactive toy options available; work to eat options, disc, ball, water stick (hollow core) & tugs in two sizes. While they are all designed with safety in mind we wanted to highlight the GoughNuts ball. It has a special design to it which makes it stand out from others – it has a multi-axis grove system that may help your dog breathe in an emergency situation of throat blockage. Spherical objects or balls can be a safety hazard for the reason of throat blockage. The groove system does allow some air flow space around the ball itself. It bounces, floats and is sure to be a hit with your pup, but because of this groove system the ball is considered to contain weak points therefore is on the interactive list not the power chewer list... oh and don't forget about the GoughNuts mats when its time to relax! These are great for the dog and  dog parent, vet clinic, store front, daycare, kennel and everything in between
