Help your dog avoid serious injury by swapping deadly sticks for a KONG Safestix.

He won’t know the difference!

 

The injuries sustained by dogs who love chewing and playing with sticks can be fatal. The Royal Veterinary College studied stick injures and found that vet bills can run into thousands of pounds, with some dogs even dying as a result of their favourite pastime. But now stick-loving hounds can chew and fetch without fear of injury thanks to the KONG Safestix.

When dog-owning inventor, Paul Blair, came up with the idea for a stick substitute toy, KONG stepped in to bring Safestix to market. KONG’s experience as the world market leader in innovative, interactive, dog toys has made Safestix a global success and it is already being sold in 11 countries worldwide.

Dogs are naturally drawn to sticks, they enjoy the texture of wood to chew on and they are a great shape for carrying and fetching – KONG Safestix is the latest toy in the KONG interactive range to satisfy these natural instincts. Made from safe, non-toxic, flexible rubber, Safestix successfully replicate all the things a dog loves about sticks and they are already converting even the most avid stick lover.

 

KONG Safestix are flexible and textured to promote mouthing and their bulbous ends make them easy to throw and are great for games of tug – they float too! Available in three bright colours making them easy to see on all surfaces.

Take a KONG Safestix down to the woods today and you’ll be surprised how real sticks are suddenly ignored.  Safestix are available in three sizes to suit all dogs and retail prices start at £9 for small size.  www.KONGcompany.com
