Gifts that Give Back: Planet Dog



      Planet Dog is a company that makes toys and other useful items for dogs. Including the Glow for Good Ball 100% of the proceeds from the sale go to the Planet Dog Foundation - which supports services dogs (search and rescue dogs, therapy dogs, bomb sniffing dogs etc.) It's like an infinite chain of helping-ness. You give a dog a ball, buying that ball helps service dogs, and service dogs help other people. The Pay It Forward kid would be proud. Even if you don't need a dog toy, but maybe want to get a leash, or travel doggie bowls - a potion of what you spend will go to the Planet Dog Foundation. You also have the option to directly donate a dollar (or five, or however much you like) when you checkout from their online store.

     I can personally vouch for the toughness of these dog toys. One Christmas, all three of my step-siblings had recently adopted puppies - so I decided to give everyone dog related things for Christmas. Two of the dogs were apparently big dog toy chewers, they'd shred those doggy newspapers in an hour. I got them both the light bulb toy (which is only a 3 out of 5 on the chew-o-meter, mind you,)  Both step-siblings were convinced the toys would be torn up by New Years. It's been 2 years, and both light bulbs are still fully intact.

Planet Dog also has a great selection of items that are made in the USA and/or Eco-friendly.

Ideal for:
Your dog
Anyone with a new dog
Anyone who's crazy about their dog
