About the Wishbone® Dog Toy
WHY THE WISHBONE®?
Did you know that not all dog rope toys are created equal? Some might potentially seriously harm your fur babies and even your human family members. Carcinogenic agents such as formaldehyde and phthalates are common in synthetic and non-Biobased dog toys.
Unlike most dog rope toys currently available on the market that are made overseas, the EarthCare Wishbone is:
✔️ 100% biodegradable.
✔️ Hypoallergenic by design.
✔️ Made in the USA with 100% biobased materials.
✔️ Free of toxic materials common in imported dog rope toys: artificial dyes and colorants, PVC, phthalates, chlorine, BPA, lead, chromium (dangerous in high levels), formaldehyde, cadmium, bromine, etc.
✔️ Free of misleading “cotton blends.”
✔️ Made only with 100% US sustainably grown cotton.
✔️ Proudly not an AMZ product.
What is the USDA Biobased Certification?
The Biobased certification is a certification by the USDA that verifies that a product is tested for plant-based materials contents. Non-plant-based materials in dog toys are potentially harmful to humans and our larger ecosystems. The EarthCare® Wishbone dog rope toy is certified to be made of 100% biobased materials.
✔️ Biobased dog toys reduce your dog’s exposure to harmful toxic substances and materials and are derived from plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials.
✔️ These products are a safe alternative to conventional petroleum derived products including a diverse range of pet toys that are toxic to your fur babies.
✔️ Biobased products reduce our nation's reliance on petroleum, increases the use of renewable agricultural resources, and contributes to reducing adverse environmental and health impacts.
✔️ The USDA Biobased certification is the most trusted reputable third-party certification that provides assurance of biobased contents.
Neither a Dog Chew Toy Nor an Indestructible One
✔️ This Wishbone dog rope toy is not recommended for heavy chewers.
✔️ This toy will fray.
✔️ Just like with any other dog toy, playtime should always be supervised.
✔️ Never let your dog play with the bio-rope dog rope toys without supervision.
✔️ Take it away if you see your dog pulling out and eating the strands.
✔️ If they swallow these strands, while made from 100% natural cotton fibers, this can lead to a dangerous digestive obstruction.

5 Things to Avoid When Buying Dog Toys
Many dog toys are constructed with toxic raw materials including: plastic, nylon, synthetic rubber, polyester, synthetics hidden in “cotton blends”, “proprietary” and synthetic blends, amongst others.
1. To make polyester toys “safer,” they're coated with toxic flame-retardant chemicals brominated flame retardants (BFR’s), which are toxic to humans, animals, and the environment.
2. Dog plush toys made overseas regularly contain highly toxic chemicals and will not have warnings or disclosures on the product’s label.
3. Dog toys that claim indestructability, higher durability, or design for aggressive chewers will nearly always contain synthetics.
4. Avoid toys that fail to state or hide raw materials. For example, “proprietary” materials.
5. No animal digestive system is fit for processing synthetics. Reduce your dog’s exposure to harm by favoring natural fibers to anything synthetic.
The Wishbone Dog Toy: Naturally Hypoallergenic by Design
The Cleanest Dog Toys – Certifiably Better
✔️ Did you know that unlike polyester and other synthetic fibers, cotton is naturally hypoallergenic? The Wishbone™ is constructed using only cotton certified as containing 100% biobased materials.
✔️ The cotton used in the Wishbone is grown right here in the US in the great state of North Carolina without chemical fertilizers, defoliants, pesticides, or herbicides, and from untreated, non-genetically modified seeds.
