Combine a dog’s natural drive to chew with a problem-solving challenge and you have the most revolutionary boredom buster of all time – Seamsters! We’ve designed a rubber toy in which dogs are actually interested! Long, thin strips of rawhide are threaded through deep, reinforced slotted holes in the rubber shells. The dried and hardened rawhide becomes a tough seam that challenges a dog to “destroy” it.

Constructive chewing is IN, destructive chewing is OUT

Dogs of all ages need to chew. If not given the proper outlet, destructive chewing can result. Seamsters provide a longer-lasting, challenging outlet for a dog’s natural chewing drive. Both wild and domestic dogs spend hours chewing to keep their jaws strong and their teeth clean.

Non-toxic, natural rubber and knot-free rawhide

Made of vanilla-scented, natural, non-toxic rubber and stitched with thin, knot-free strips of rawhide, these puzzles will provide hours of distraction. The rawhide strips are digestion-friendly – no need to worry about rawhide knots or large awkward-shaped pieces that might choke a dog. The entire package is irradiated for an extra dose of safety. Consumers wet the rawhide for just a few minutes. After rethreading the toy, they let it dry and harden – then the fun begins again!
We offer several shapes and sizes, some even have the added bonus of a hollow treat chamber for twice the reward.

It’s easy… Fill. Stitch. Destroy. Repeat!

• Restitchable, repeatable fun
• Seamsters stand up to the toughest chewers
• Bonus – they clean teeth and strengthen gums

Here’s why Mouthfuls rocks…

Atmosphere – Cozy neighborhood vibe… irresistible front window display, inviting atmosphere of abundance, great lighting, displays of varying heights arranged to draw customers through the store, just enough “departmentalization” to make products easy to find

Employees – Deb and the team are accessible, authentic, and enthusiastic – they really know their customers and care about their dogs.

Displays – Toys are set up in a casual “play-with-me” fashion via bins along the wall, leashes are organized and visible. There’s an inviting bakery case, and even a treat bar… and always something to play with on the checkout counter!

Assortment – Toys, travel gear, beds, food, and specialty treats – something for everyone — and the K-9’s love the abundance of Kyjen.

Sales Savvy – In tune with modern times, Mouthfuls has an attractive shoppable website that tells their story, as well as a Facebook page, and a blog. These folks are wise enough, however, to cover all of the bases – they recognize the importance of community involvement and in-store events, such as photos with Santa.

In short, Mouthfuls fosters a spirit of neighborhood camaraderie that keeps us coming back again and again. One of the rare specialty retailers that’s doing everything right!
