We feel fortunate and honored that many independent reviewers have so many positive things to say about our Plush Puppies line of Puzzle Toys.  These toys help Eliminate Boredom and Keep Dogs Occupied!

“Kyjen’s Puzzle Plush Dog Toys aim to challenge and entertain their canine users much the way developmental toys do for children” – Springwise.com

“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this toy!!!  It’s a great interactive toy for that intellectual pup who likes to problem solve.” — Pop Dog Blog

“There’s a general rule we pet owners all follow: If we’re gonna blow double-digit dollars on a pet toy, it better be pretty darn good. It better be a durable toy and it better hold a dog’s interest for more than a single day. One toy that fits those requirements like a glove is the Hide-A-Squirrel.” –  Avenue K9

“Hide a Squirrel toy great for keeping boredom at bay!  When it’s raining outside and your pets are going a bit stir crazy indoors what do you do to relieve the boredom?  Puzzle Toys!” — Bark Avenue Blog

Whether surfing in an Outward Hound Life Jacket, posing with a favorite Plush Puppies toy, or showing off in one of our holiday accessories, we are grateful that so many pet lovers have taken the time to post pictures of their pets using our products.

What can we say? After viewing all the photos, we’re convinced our customers have the cutest pets we’ve ever seen. Check out the great photography talents of their owners for yourself in our Flickr Fav photostream.

We’ve done our best to collect these photos into our Flickr Favorites so they can be viewed in one place. If we’ve missed yours, or you’ve uploaded some new ones, please tag your flickr photos with ‘kyjen’ and we’ll find it soon.

For information on tagging photos to Flickr see this tag help page. If you are new to Flickr, you can start with this “Newbie’s Guide.”

We feel flattered to have so many independent reviews of our Bottle Buddies online.  Dogs really do love this product and the noise it makes. It’s such a great way to reuse those plastic water bottles.  An often over-looked feature is the nylon liner we’ve added on the inside of the plush material.  This provides additional durability and also protects the dogs teeth and gums should the plastic bottle rip and become sharp during aggressive play.

“Your dog will go nuts for the crackling sound and he’ll play for hours, tossing, chewing and chasing!”–Dogs are Going Green Blog

“Kyjen’s Bottle Buddies are made to solve this problem because they completely cover the empty plastic water bottle and help to prevent your pet from getting hurt.”–Petazon Blog

“Ruben loves it and has not left it alone (nor has he shared it), he carries it all over crunching all the way. He is famous for his hilarious stiff legged coyote pounce that just cracks us up and enjoys landing on his buddy over and over (the more you laugh the more he’ll do it)”–Pampered Poodles 4U Blog

“We got our first order of Bottle Buddies last week and think that it’s a really great toy for larger breed dogs.)” [they even embedded the video of me in this one] –Pawhause Pet Boutique Blog

Kyjen’s Pet Booster Seat was mentioned in The National, a daily paper in Abu Dhabi (an Abu Dhabi Media Company).

Kyjen products have been sold through retailers in Europe and the UK for a while now. It’s nice to see our reach going to all corners of the world. Our recently launched online store is receiving orders from all over the globe, even Japan!

Here is a must watch video of an amazing dog, Simon, who takes out 74 balloons in a mere 57 seconds. That’s more than one balloon a second!

I hooked up with his owners recently and got Simon a few of our Plush Puppies Dog Toys.  Simon apparently loves them as much as people love watching him play! Check out these videos and more on their YouTube channel.

We feel honored that the trendspotters at Springwise discovered our rapidly growing line of Puzzle Plush Toys. In an article titled Brain-building Toys for Dogs, author Murtaza Ali Patel writes, “Kyjen’s Puzzle Plush Dog Toys aim to challenge and entertain their canine users much the way developmental toys do for children.”

If you haven’t checked out our Puzzle Plush line lately, you’ve missed out on some fantastic new products.

She also mentions our new line of Eco Hemp Friends and our innovative Bottle Buddies.

Sometimes an independent product review says it better than we can! We were pleasantly surprised to see our unique interactive dog toys caught the attention of an invention blogger at InventorSpot: Kyjen’s Interactive Toys Appeal To A Dog’s Hunting Instincts
