Behold Dogzilla

The dawn of chew toys now has a new name.

About The Client

Client wanted to explore a brand new product line in the chew toy category. Exclusively design for heavy chewers, with canines meeting their match with this tough dog toy! The Dogzilla concept features a revolutionary new process that infuses protein into rubber which makes for a very attractive dog toy. These tough rubber toys will exercise your pup’s jaw muscles and the shapes will allow dogs to hold onto them while playing and chewing. Classified as a tough toy for those aggressive chewers.
