Tough Toys for Ruff Playmates

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, July 07, 2012 (Press-News.org) Meet Fido's match, Bionic Pet Products. Made from specially engineered Bionic Rubber , these uber tough toys can withstand the vigorous play patterns of even the most active, determined of playmates - no matter their gnawing habits.

It's not just a coincidence that Bionic toys are made to last, it's science. Bionic Pet Products were created by founder Steve Luhrs, after his lab, Duke, easily destroyed toy after toy. Building on the family's engineering experience, Steve began to develop and design products built for strength and durability. The molecules of Bionic Rubber are cross-linked to create a flexible, bouncy and nearly puncture proof product. Best yet, Bionic Rubber is practical. It floats, is dishwasher safe and most dogs find it to be virtually indestructible.

"At Bionic , we firmly believe we are creating products unlike any other company on the pet scene. We are going to new lengths to test and continuously improve our products," comments Steve Luhrs, Founder of Bionic Pet Products. "We've even designed specific shapes with the purpose of meeting the needs of different breed's strength and bite."
