Why PHA? Material Safety Guide
Your pet's safety is our top priority. Here's why PHA materials are the safer choice for your furry friends compared to traditional plastics.
The Hidden Dangers of Traditional Plastics
Toxic Chemical Leaching
-
BPA (Bisphenol A) - Can disrupt hormones and affect reproductive health - Phthalates - Linked to liver and kidney damage in pets
- Heavy Metals - Lead and cadmium can accumulate in pet tissues
-
Synthetic Microplastics - Tiny particles found in 99% of dog testicles and most other living things on early
Why PHA Products Are Safer
✓ Completely Non-Toxic
PHA materials contain no BPA, phthalates, or other harmful synthetic chemicals that can leach into your pet's system or the environment.
✓ Biodegradable Materials
PHA materials are designed for supervised play and break down naturally in composting environments, not during normal use.
✓ No Sharp Fragments
PHA is considered a fairly "soft" material, even by most plastic standards, and should not splinter into any sharp fragments during normal use/play.
Making the Switch
Transitioning to PHA-based pet products is simple and beneficial for your pet's long-term health. Start by replacing the most frequently used items like toys and feeding accessories.
Important Safety Guidelines
- Always supervise pets during play
- Inspect toys regularly for wear and damage
- Remove and dispose of worn toys properly
- Not intended for consumption - contact veterinarian if large pieces are ingested
