PRODUCTS & BRAND

What does the furryfolks make?

the furryfolks creates nosework and enrichment toys, dog apparel, walk essentials, accessories, and selected goods for humans.

We do not begin with a label. We begin with an original idea. Every product from the furryfolks is thoughtfully planned, designed, tested, and refined with real-life use in mind. From treat-hiding pockets and layered toy structures to apparel graphics, materials, fit, and functional details, every design has its own purpose and personality.

Our goal is to make everyday life with pets more joyful through products that bring together play, function, comfort, and original design.

What is a nosework toy?

A nosework toy is not simply a difficult puzzle that a dog must solve as quickly as possible. It is an interactive toy designed to let dogs use their sense of smell to explore, locate treats, and enjoy the process of discovering hidden rewards.

Treat pockets, folds, layered structures, fabric textures, and removable components create different ways to search. What matters is not how quickly a dog finds every treat, but the joyful process of sniffing, investigating, and working out how to reach it.

Nosework play may help provide:

  • Mental stimulation through scent-based exploration
  • A focused activity that helps reduce boredom
  • A way to encourage slower treat eating
  • An opportunity to practice natural sniffing and searching behaviors
  • Interactive play that engages both the nose and body

Begin with an easy setup that matches your dog’s experience and personality. As your dog becomes familiar with the activity, place treats deeper inside the toy or combine multiple treat-hiding features to gradually expand the game.

How do I choose the right nosework toy for my dog?

Dogs who are new to nosework may do best with a simple structure where treats remain visible or easy to reach. As they gain experience, you can introduce toys with multiple layers, smaller treat pockets, or removable components for a more involved search.

Consider your dog’s size, play habits, and nosework experience, and review the product structure, suggested challenge levels, and play instructions shown on each product page.

Can my dog play with the toy without supervision?

No. the furryfolks plush nosework and enrichment toys are designed for supervised, interactive play. They are not intended to be used as unattended chew toys.

Inspect the toy before and after play. Stop using it immediately if you find torn fabric, weakened seams, exposed filling, or loose or damaged components.

Please read our Toy Safety Guide for complete safety information.

How should I clean a toy?

Materials and construction vary by design, so always follow the Care Instructions shown on the individual product page.

Remove all remaining treats before washing. Allow the toy and all of its components to dry completely before the next play session.

SIZING & APPAREL

How do I choose a clothing size for my dog?

Measure your dog while they are standing naturally on all four legs. Measure the chest around its widest part, just behind the front legs.

The starting and ending points for back length can vary according to the design and intended fit. Some styles use the full length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, while others end before the base of the tail. Always follow the instructions and size chart for the specific product you are purchasing.

Visit our Size Guide for complete measuring instructions and fit information by product category.

Are the size-chart numbers body measurements?

the furryfolks apparel size charts use flat-lay garment measurements. This means the garment is laid flat when it is measured.

Fabric stretch and garment construction vary by style, so do not directly compare measurements from different product charts. Always use the chart that belongs to the specific product you are purchasing.

What should I do if my dog is between sizes?

Unless the individual product page states otherwise, we recommend sizing down when your dog is between sizes.

Compare both chest and back length, and consider the material, stretch, and intended fit of the selected style. If you need help, email info@thefurryfolks.com with your dog’s chest, neck, and back-length measurements, along with their breed and weight.

Do all apparel styles fit the same way?

No. Sweaters, tees, onesies, and jackets can fit differently depending on their material, stretch, construction, and design.

Products with the same size name may still have different garment measurements and silhouettes. Always review the individual size chart before ordering.
