About Us
Vibram K9 is a trademarked brand of Vibram S.p.A., and sold and manufactured by the Quabaug Corporation, the exclusive North American manufacturing licensee for Vibram, the world leader in high performance rubber soles. For more than 70 years, the famous yellow octagon that identifies the Vibram brands; Vibram Soling, Vibram Five Fingers, Vibram Disc Golf, Vibram Hoof Pads, and now Vibram K9, has been synonymous with quality, performance, safety, innovation and design.
Quality: all of our Vibram K9 rubber toys are made at our plant in North Brookfield, MA from a pet friendly, non-toxic, natural rubber based formula. Every batch of rubber is tested to insure our rigid quality standards in our SATRA approved lab before it is sent on to the production line. This guarantees that our customers, your dogs, receive the best toys on the market.
Performance: our products are "tested where it matters," in the laboratories and especially in the field. We send our toys out to independent labs to be tested against the most stringent consumer protection laws, and we test everything; the rubber, the rope, even the hangtags. Field testing is also a priority, we even went so far as to send our toys to the Kansas City Zoo to have our toys tested by their pack of African Wild Dogs where they held up extremely well, much to the delight of the African Wild Dogs' handlers. Read all about it here. All of our products are guaranteed for customer satisfaction.
Safety: we take safety seriously. In fact Vibram was founded by Vitale Bramani in 1937 to make a safer hiking boot sole after he witnessed a tragic alpine climbing accident. Our pet friendly, non-toxic, rubber formula is designed for durability yet is soft enough for your dog to enjoy, and is continuously tested to insure our high quality standards.
Innovation and Design: our toys are designed with fun and performance in mind for your dogs. For example, our Vibram K9 balls are designed to bounce erratically to entertain, are hollow to allow treats to be put inside and the raised lug design is to massage and exercise your dogs gums. Not bad for one toy!! Our new innovative Acorn toy, yes it is shaped like an acorn, can be used as a throw toy or pop the lid open and put in treats for an interactive toy that will keep your dog deliriously entertained.
Vibram K9 and the 300 associates that work for the Quabaug Corporation at our Massachusetts plant are not only concerned about the quality of our products, but we are equally concerned about our community and its environment. Through our Quaboing division we regrind our scrap rubber into pellets to be used for playground and landscaping fill and Vibram K9's signature cause is the Puppies Behind Bars' Dog Tags program; www.puppiesbehindbars.com. Over the past year, with the help of our retail partners, we have helped to generate over $65,000 to the Dog Tags program through our Chewy Shoe dog toy program where $2.00 from the sale of every Chewy Show toy is given to the Dog Tags program.
