There's always the canvas bumpers.
I am the first one to say "ya gotta die of something" and have put many less than desirable substances in my body during the course of my life. I would just like to know when something is less than healthy and be able to make a choice from there
I really like the DT Systems Soft Mouth bumpers and they are 100% made in USA and non-toxic, as are N&B's as mentioned above.
How do you know they are nontoxic? I looked on their website, found nothing. Thanks!Quote:

Hey foks, we are talking about bumpers here, not toxic waste. The article says no one really knows for sure the danger, if there is one. For 30 years I have had canvas, soft rubber and probably 5 different types of plastic, nothing has ever gone wrong with any dog ! Including the dogs that shredded, ate and passed all the diffeent type of bumpers.
I thinks is is good to be informed about potential dnagers, but in this alarmist climate we seem to live in, use a little common sense here!
They probably use left over Red Dye #2 for color.
Every one who had a retriever that lived well into geriatrics after a lifetime of retrieving bumpers raise your hand.
