What It Means When Dog Toys Are Made with FDA-Compliant Materials

1. What Are FDA-Compliant Materials?

These materials meet the FDA's standards for safety in food contact applications. That means they’re:

  • Free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates

  • Non-toxic and clean

  • Commonly used in food containers, baby products, and medical-grade tools

So if it’s safe enough to come into contact with your food or your skin, it’s a smarter choice for your dog’s mouth too.


2. Why This Matters for Dog Toys

Dogs chew with power and intensity—and lower-quality plastics can break down or leach harmful compounds over time. FDA-compliant materials:

  • Don’t release harmful chemicals

  • Are more stable and consistent

  • Feel better in your dog’s mouth (flexible, not brittle)


3. What We Use at RAINWTR

We use a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) blend made from FDA-compliant base materials—engineered to be tough, flexible, and safe for everyday chewing.

It’s not the cheap stuff—and you can tell.


🐾 Safe Materials. Smarter Toys.

Not all dog toys are created equal. At RAINWTR, we make ours from materials that meet higher standards—because we know your dog isn’t just a dog. They’re family.
