Just Say NO to regular wooden sticks and YES to Safestix for your dogs! This stick is bendy and twisty, and real fun to throw.  This stick will not hurt your dog like sharp, splintery wood sticks can and no splinters stuck in teeth.

The dog people who make Safestix really love dogs. One of their Jack Russell Terriers, inspired this creation, when he ended up injured and at the vets after playing with wooden sticks. Razzel and his owner enjoy playing fetch until a wooden stick punctured his mouth. And after that puncture, they made it their mission to create a safe alternative for dogs who play with wooden sticks.

Working with leading vets, who have seen many similar injuries from sticks in their practices, helped lead them to create Safestix. You can throw them further than regular sticks, they float in water and they're nice and soft on dogs' mouths. So the next time you go to the park, don't grab a dirty, splintery, sharp old stick -- grab the safe alternative to those, and choose- Safestix instead.

The SafeStix are a totally unique type of dog toy, and there’s nothing like them anywhere. A large amount of time and research went into getting the stix 'just right', that’s why they are now becoming so popular with dog owners everywhere.
