REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Crinkits Dog Toy

Crinkits Dog Toy

Where to Find: Zigoo Pets

Water bottle dog toys have been a hit with the Lapdogs for years now and I'm always on the look out for new - and different - ones.  Our foster pups have all seemed to love them as well.  In fact, I've yet to come across a dog who doesn't love that very distinct crinkle sound that comes from crunching on an empty water bottle.  I'm not sure if it's all about the sound or if they love the crunchy texture just as much... except when it comes to Teutul.  With the third child, I know it's all about annoying his humans with the constant crunch-crinkle-crunch sound while they're trying to watch TV!


Crinkits were designed out of necessity by Zigoo founder Zach Day.  His dog's favorite toy - a water bottle - needed more durability.  After several prototypes were tested, the final result was a rubber-like toy that provides a protective barrier around an empty water bottle, made from an innovative material.  Crinkits are made of ZIGLFEX, which is 100% non-toxic, natural and recyclable.  ZIGFLEX is FDA approved, highly durable, contains NO BPA's or Phthalates, and it floats!  That's right... Crinkits can double as a water toy!  The special material also easily rinses clean, so after a long day at the beach, you can bring Crinkits home, rinse it off and not worry about getting sand and grime all over the house!

Lola & Tut love Crinkits

Crinkits are, of course, meant to hold an empty water bottle, however it can be a tad bit of a challenge to get the bottle inside.  The packaging suggests using soap and water for help with inserting a 16oz bottle, however the website suggests using a smaller (8 or 12oz) bottle.  I assume this is just part of the minor tweaks the company is still working on with the release of a new toy.  It's all good though!  After a few minutes of frustration, I simply enlisted the Lapdog Daddy who promptly got the bottle stuffed inside.  Crinkits can also be stuffed with treats for additional interactive playtime. 




Foster Booth took Crinkits to the races

On top of all that, Crinkits are Made in the USA... in Springvale, Maine to be exact!  That gets a double thumbs up from this doggy Mama.  Not only is the fun toy made in the USA, but it's a New England product to boot!  We are all about supporting the little guy and local companies when we can. 

The Lapdogs are sure your pooch will love Crinkits just as much as they do.  Grab one for them now or start your woofy holiday shopping early!  You can use the Amazon link at the top of this review for easy ordering.  We also have one pink Crinkits to give away to a lucky winner!
