About Us
Mission statement We help dog guardians choose fewer, better toys that fit their dog’s playstyle, jaw strength, size, and energy—without wrecking the living room or the budget. Our Playstyle Index turns vague durability claims into clear, comparable metrics for safety, enrichment, and cleanability.
Our brand story For Power Chewers began after one too many “indestructible” toys failed a strong-jawed foster in under five minutes. We saw two problems: marketers speaking in superlatives and families left guessing. So we built the Playstyle Index—a standardized way to score chew resistance, puzzle difficulty, noise, mess, material transparency, size safety, and supervision level—then pressure-tested it across multi-dog homes, apartments, and shelter playgroups. The result is an enrichment-first, safety-forward guide that respects your dog’s biology and your home’s realities.
Today, our reviews combine measured data (time-to-failure benchmarks, decibel readings, dishwasher outcomes) with real-world use across puppies, adults, seniors, small and giant breeds, and multi-dog dynamics. We show what breaks first, how to size safely, when to retire a toy, and which options deliver the longest, calm-inducing engagement.
