Most pet owners are well aware of the devices out on the market that assit in playing the old game of fetch with your dog.  It allows you to throw the ball much farther without tiring out your arm, in addition to keeping your hands off the lovely “slimmed” ball presented back to you.  Well now there is an extremely Eco-friendly option available.

Planet Dog has introduced the Wood Chuck ball tossing toy.  Engineered from sustainable bamboo and reused cork scraps, it is the total “green” toss toy.  Bamboo is a highly renewable resource making it one of the more Earth friendly material options today.  Bamboo can grow up to 24 inches in one day.

A sleek take on other ball-tossing devices, Wood Chuck® bamboo core offers strength and maximum chuck-ability with an ergonomic cork handle for comfort and grip-ability throw, after throw, after throw. Wood Chuck’s® 4-pronged claw coupled with the pliant nature of the Orbee-Tuff® products make it a cinch to grab and throw.  It can also accommodate most unpressurized tennis balls with a diameter of 2.5″.

Purchase your Wood Chuck from The Recycled Retriever today and get ready for the ultimate Eco-friendly ball tossing experience!

If you have a yard I’m sure that it is one of your dog’s favorite places. They spend a lot of time in the grass sniffing the perimeter, chasing balls and doing their business. The yard needs to be a safe place! Use natural lawn care products and avoid items that have harmful pesticides or herbicides.

In the winter use a safe ice remover. Dogs may accidentally ingest the product that you are using. Do a little research and select a product that will not cause a health issues.

I know it will take some research time, but it will be worth it in the long run. Your dog will love you for it!
