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

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

“What’s a Bottle Buddy?” A regular visitor to Kyjen.com might know the answer, but the casual shopper in Fort Collins, Colorado might not.  And that’s just what Arfy’s Mercantile for Dogs and Cats is counting on.  Hoping to pique the interest of shoppers walking by with that simple question, they placed it in on sign board out front (see larger photo here).  Nice job Arfy’s!

If you’ve seen any other creative ways retailers are redirect foot traffic inside, let us know and we’ll pass it on.

If you don’t live in Fort Collins and you want to know what a Bottle Buddy is, please check it in our store.

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.

Nine-year-old Steel refused to swim for the first 8 years of his life. That all changed when he started wearing an Outward Hound Lifejacket!  Steel belongs to Cody, one of our Sales Managers here at Kyjen. The lifejacket gave him the added confidence he needed to swim effortlessly. Now it’s hard to get him out of the water. His other dog, Louis, a Dachshund, now swims like never before as a result of wearing his Outward Hound lifejacket.

The lesson here is, many dogs who are afraid of water and/or cannot swim will take up swimming with the extra buoyancy and safety of a dog lifejacket.

PS. This video is also pretty funny: The big puppy, Judge, keeps nipping at Cody’s crotch the whole time he is talking. The Dachshund keeps swimming and moving his legs even after Cody picks him up out of the water.

Several Outward Hound products are mentioned in this segment from The Early Show on CBS. Check out Gracie, the mini-dachshund, hanging out in the Outward Hound Sling-Go during the entire segment. Thanks, Dr. Debbye Turner Bell! See the video here.

Check out this new slide show graphic on our home page. It explains the concept behind our Squeaker Mats perfectly: It’s like Bubble Wrap for Dogs! We have seen so many comments on Twitter and other places by people looking for a more durable, long-lasting toy, well the Squeaker Mats are the ticket.  If your dog kills one squeaker, they still have 15 to go!  The Squeaker Mats might drive you crazy, but we guarantee that your dog will love ‘em!
