Upcycled Bike Waste Makes a Happy Dog!

I love seeing my Aunt T. COVID meant over a year without our usual holiday weekends, but vaccines mean we now get to visit! 

Meeko loves seeing Aunt T almost as much as I do, as she gets plenty of massages and treats when T is around. This past weekend was no exception. T shows up with a gift in hand, which led me to discover a new company! 

Cycle Dogs is a Portland, OR based company, which originally started by upcycling old bicycle tubes into dog collars. They have since expanded their efforts into beds, toys and more, each using post-consumer materials. 


"Cycle Dog has reclaimed hundreds of thousands of discarded inner tube rubber targeted for landfills."


So if you aren't into making your own toys, or just want to support a local business, check out Cycle Dog. I love that they proclaim to help you and your furbaby "lower your carbon pawprint". Not in Portland? You can also find their products at Mud Bay.

Meeko's pretty sold on it too. What do you think? Are these toys just as fun as their traditional counterparts?


And at $8-20 each, these toys are competitive with other quality pet toys.
