The Pawtential collection is a modular dog toy assortment that seamlessly combines durability, function, and aesthetics. This collection focuses on modularity, allowing dog owners to switch out different parts of the toy, so every playtime feels new and exciting for their pets. Our goal is to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated by offering a variety of interactions in one system and increase the playtime with dogs and owners.
Each toy in this collection has been created to engage a dog’s five senses and promote different types of play. Dogs can lift, push, chase, lick, and roll the various components, all of which offer unique textures, movements, smells, sounds to keep them entertained. The modular design allows owners to easily swap or combine parts, giving dogs a fresh play experience every time. This flexibility is perfect for high-energy dogs who get bored with traditional toys quickly.
Our team drew from insights gathered from hundreds of dog parents, veterinarians, and canine behavior specialists to address the most common pain points—poor toy durability, lack of mental stimulation, and underwhelming design choices of dog toys. The Pawtential collection focuses on making play more rewarding for dogs. For example, some parts are designed to roll unpredictably, making it fun for dogs to chase, while others may have grooves that encourage licking or chewing. We’ve made sure that the toys can withstand rough play, using durable materials that are built to last while remaining safe for dogs.
These toys aren’t just built for dogs—they’re also made with owners in mind. The collection is designed to be easy to assemble, clean, and store, with each piece fitting comfortably into daily life. The toys are visually appealing, blending into the home without looking like typical dog toys. Bright, dog-friendly colors are used for visibility, and even the scent is considered, with light fragrances that dogs enjoy.
Whether it’s pulling, pushing, chasing, or chewing, this collection keeps play fresh, stimulating dogs both physically and mentally while providing an easy-to-use system for their owners.
