Dog Toys, Held to a Kid Standard
Why we built Baroo, and why safety comes first
Here’s a fun fact that isn’t very fun:
In Canada, the toy on your kid’s nursery shelf had to pass dozens of safety tests before it got there. The squeaky duck your dog is currently dismantling? It didn’t have to pass any.
There’s no Canadian regulation made specifically for dog toys. No required testing for the materials. No specific limits on what goes inside that squeaker. We learned that, and we couldn’t unlearn it.
So we built Baroo.
Every Baroo toy is designed and tested against the safety standards Canada uses for children’s toys. Same materials checks. Same choke-hazard thinking. Same “would we let a baby gum on this?” instinct.
It’s a weirdly high bar for a dog brand. We think it should be the normal one.
Tested before they’re trusted
Before a Baroo toy reaches your dog, it goes through the jaws of our testing machines. But tough isn’t enough. Our toys are also sent to independent labs to test their materials and confirm they meet the same safety standards Canada uses for children’s toys. Strong enough for your dog, safe enough for a toddler.
Made to Be Played With
Bright, vibrant colours that are easy to spot in the grass or snow. Grooves, ridges and textures dogs love to sink their teeth into. Every detail is designed to spark curiosity and keep them engaged, play after play.

Dog People First
Baroo is designed in Canada by a Canadian team of dog lovers. We build for the way dogs actually live here: snow, salt, mud and all. And every toy we make goes through one final test: would our own dogs love it?
