Frequently Asked Questions

PureMade is manufactured in Europe using a patented process focused on safety and sustainability.

PureMade is splinter-resistant and designed to flake, reducing the risk of injuries inside the mouth or if ingested. The small flakes typically resemble oatmeal or rice. If your animals break it into large shards or chunks, please contact us for a recommendation!

Yes, it’s durable and designed for all kinds of chewers, balancing strength and stiffness with different density options to suit your species. If your animals are quickly destroying the devices, contact us for a recommendation, as you likely need a higher-density option.

Traditional synthetic plastic and petroleum-based animal enrichment contains potentially harmful ingredients, including carcinogens and even pesticides. These add unnecessary variables to your research and create health hazards for your animals. Plus, traditional chew toys are prone to creating sharp fragments as they wear down, which can injure your animals. Splinter-resistant, all-natural PureMade is the safer alternative.

PureMade is engineered from two simple base components: vegetable oil and PEFC-certified sustainable cellulose. PEFC certification means a wood or paper product comes from forests that are managed in accordance with strict environmental, social and economic standards. Put simply, the ingredients grow in fields, and the enrichment devices biodegrade, leaving no microplastics behind. The material is fully traceable. Plus, PureMade is CO₂-neutral!

PureMade is engineered from two simple base components, helping reduce confounding variables that contribute to the research reproducibility crisis. The base components are cellulose and vegetable oil. Some devices may have additional components, such as blue food-grade dye or natural flavoring.
