Chewie ball – Eco-friendly training toy dogs love

The Chewie ball is a durable, dog-approved toy designed for play, training and rewarding — while also being a sustainable and responsible choice. Handmade in Finland from recycled and upcycled materials, the Chewie ball combines ecological values, premium craftsmanship and irresistible textures that dogs naturally love.

Perfect for tug play and rewarding, the Chewie ball is a favourite among active dogs and handlers who want a toy that feels good — both in use and in values.

Eco-friendly & sustainable materials

The Chewie ball is handcrafted in Finland using genuine leather scraps recovered from a local furniture factory. This gives new life to high-quality leather that would otherwise go to waste, making it a responsible and ecological choice.
