Even the most durable dog toys on the market are prone to being ripped apart, which is why BarkShop created its line of 'Destroyers' toys.
The toys take the shape of tattooed bulging biceps, dumbbells, punching bags and strongmen that are made of ultra-strong materials that are held together with extra-strong stitching. Although these super-tough toys are built to take abuse, they are also designed to be safely torn to shreds.
BarkShop claims that is has identified four types of "Destruction Styles," including: the Thrasher, the Squeaker-Seeker, the Shredder and the De-fluffer. Toys like the K9 K.O. Punching Bag and Mr. Chewniverse are designed to be pulled apart by dogs, and even include additional squeaker toys inside.
