Soak Water Dog Toys: TPR Sizes, MOQ

Soak Water Dog Toys: TPR Sizes, MOQ

Buyers searching soak water dog toys wholesale usually want a summer chew that can take water, not another solid nylon bone. In the Classic Chew line the open-stock set is four TPR pieces: Soak Water Bone (SKU MN-1215), Soak Water Ball (MN-1216), Soak Water Ring (MN-1214), and the fruit-shaped Water Fill Toy (MN-1213). All four list material TPR, pet type dogs, and catalog MOQ 120. None of them carries a certification, a fill-volume number, or a freeze-time claim in the database. Those stay off the hangtag until a quote says otherwise.

If you already sell the green PA bones, do not drop these into the same peg. A previous assortment note on nylon bones called this out on purpose: the soak water bone shares a bone silhouette with the coated PA chew and almost nothing else. One is a solid nylon-family chew. These are TPR, lighter, and sold as water-play shapes.

Four SKUs, not one "water toy"

Treat "soak water" as a shelf family, then write the line sheet from the records. Three of the four are a single blue unit. The fourth is a three-shape fruit set with three stock colors.

| SKU | Name | Material | Color on file | Size on file | Weight on file | MOQ |

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| MN-1215 | Soak Water Bone | TPR | Blue | 16×7.8×3.9 cm | 90 g | 120 |

| MN-1216 | Soak Water Ball | TPR | Blue | 6.5 cm | 59 g | 120 |

| MN-1214 | Soak Water Ring | TPR | Blue | 0.8×10.8×2.4 cm | 60 g | 120 |

| MN-1213 | Water Fill Toy | TPR | Yellow, red, green | Watermelon 10×9 cm; pineapple 7.5×12 cm; lemon 13.5×7 cm | about 55 g / 98.5 g / 63 g | 120 |

The bone is the hero if the account already understands a bone peg. It is blue TPR, one size, about 90 g. It is not the Coated Bone Chew (PA with a PU coating, green, MOQ 120) and not the Real Bone Chew (PA plus TPR, orange). If a buyer says "the blue version of the nylon bone," stop and show the material line. Mixing those cartons is how a summer endcap gets a 200 g PA chew with freeze instructions printed on a tag that does not belong there.

The ball is the smallest footprint: 6.5 cm, about 59 g, blue. It faces well in a bin. It does not give you a size ladder. There is no S/M/L on this record.

The ring is the awkward one to fixture. Catalog size is 0.8×10.8×2.4 cm and weight is 60 g. That first number is thin. Measure the pre-production sample before you lock a blister card. A hangtag drawn from the photo will lie about how the ring sits in a peg hook.

The water fill toy is the only multi-shape, multi-color piece. Stock colors are yellow, red, and green, mapped in the catalog to three fruit silhouettes: watermelon, pineapple, and lemon. The weight string in the database is messy (:55g :98.5g :63 g). Read those as about 55 g, 98.5 g, and 63 g in the same order as the size list, then weigh the PPS. Do not let a punctuation glitch become the master-carton math. Only the yellow swatch has a color image on file. Red and green still exist as color names. Confirm both on the sample, not from a missing file.

Pet type on all four is dogs. Do not put a water-fill lemon into a cat planogram because the shape photographs small.

Who should open with which shape

A pet specialty that wants one summer peg should open on the soak water bone, then add the ball only if the fixture has a bin. The ring is a second-facing item. It is easy to lose on a hook, and the size string needs a human to check it.

Marketplace brands that shoot one hero and call it a "3-pack of water toys" will get returns. These are four SKUs. Fruit shapes are a different SKU from the blue bone, ball, and ring. A listing that shows a pineapple and ships a blue bone is a size-and-color mismatch, not a bundle.

Distributors who already carry Classic Chew rope can park this family in warm-weather weeks and leave it out of the January reset. It does not replace a TPR chew stick and it does not replace a puppy rope. If the account's promise is gentle teething, lead with Puppy Rope Knot (TPR and cotton, 9.8×7.8×4.3 cm, about 29 g, MOQ 120). A 90 g water bone is a different hand-feel, and the catalog does not call it a teether.

Skip any line that needs a "freeze for 2 hours" or "holds 80 ml" badge. The database has no fill volume, no wall thickness, no freezer instruction, and no leak test. If a retailer wants that sentence on the backer card, it has to come from a test you order, written on the RFQ, not copied from this page.

Power-chewer language has the same problem. There is no Shore hardness and no chew-hour rating on these records. TPR can be a soft summer toy or a toy that fails in a week. The sample tells you which. The blog does not.

Specs to lock before the PO

Write the PO from the table, then mark gaps as "confirm on quote."

Color is not a free option. Bone, ball, and ring are blue only. A second color on those three is a development question, not a checkbox. The water fill toy already has three stock colors. Do not promise a blue lemon unless the quote adds it. Stock color on the first order keeps you on the catalog MOQ of 120 per SKU.

Shapes inside MN-1213 are not interchangeable sizes of one toy. Watermelon, pineapple, and lemon have different centimeter strings and different weights. If you only want the pineapple, say so. Assuming the factory will ship "assorted fruit" inside one 120 is how the warehouse receives a color split you cannot fixture.

MOQ 120 is per SKU in the catalog, not a blended 120 across the bone, ball, ring, and fruit set. Four SKUs can mean four minimums. A mixed-shape split inside the water fill toy has to be confirmed on the quote. Do not assume 40 yellow / 40 red / 40 green is accepted just because the total says 120.

Fields the catalog does not have, and that you should not invent on a sell sheet:

  • Fill volume, plug or valve type, and whether the toy is meant to be soaked, frozen, or both
  • Unit price, inner-pack count, carton cube, barcode
  • Wall thickness and Shore hardness
  • Any certification (the certification field on all four records is empty)

CPSIA, EN71, or REACH language belongs on a test plan you book, not as a badge because the material says TPR.

The ring size especially needs a tape on the sample. A 0.8 cm dimension next to a 10.8 cm dimension can be thickness versus outer width, or it can be a data-entry artifact. I would not print either number on a hangtag until the PPS matches one of them.

Weight tolerance matters more here than on a solid bone, because buyers will compare a "full" toy with an empty one and call the difference a defect. Agree the empty weight from the table, and agree how you will weigh a filled sample if the program actually includes filling. The catalog weights read as dry unit weights. Nothing on file says otherwise.

How this family sits in Classic Chew

Classic Chew is the durable series: molded chews, rope, nylon bones, and these water shapes. The Classic Chew collection is the right parent link on a line sheet. Studio Warmth plush does not belong in the same shipper. A water-fill lemon in a plush assortment reads as a mistake, not a theme.

A short first bay, if the fixture is one hook and one bin:

  • Soak water bone on the hook, blue, the single size on file.
  • Soak water ball in the bin.
  • Water fill toy only if you can face at least the pineapple and the lemon as separate shapes, or you have agreed an assortment in writing.
  • Leave the ring until someone has measured it.

A firmer everyday chew next to this bay should be a different SKU, not a recolor of the water bone. Key Chew Long (TPR, 21×2.5×2.5 cm, about 33 g, MOQ 120) is the sort of neighbor that stays on the shelf after summer. Do not merge it into the soak-water carton because both lines say TPR.

Nylon bones stay on their own planogram. The coated bone, the fiber bone, and the real bone are PA-family chews with their own size ladders. Staff training should say "blue TPR, water program" out loud. If the only words on the shelf are "bone," the picker will grab MN-1202.

Sampling, private label, and what not to change

Sample the hand-feel against a PA bone on the same desk. The soak water bone should feel like TPR, not like a coated nylon. If a sample arrives hard and glossy like the green coated bone, stop the PO. Color photos hide that swap, and a blue PA chew with a water-toy hangtag is a claim you cannot defend.

A sensible first sample set is one bone, one ball, one ring, and one of each fruit shape in the color you intend to list. That is more units than a single nylon-bone sample, because the fruit set is three geometries. You do not need a full MOQ to see whether the pineapple stands up in a photo.

Open stock can ship in the catalog colors with your hangtag and carton mark. That path is private label pet toys: packaging, barcode, and warning copy you supply, product geometry you do not redraw. If the brand wants a new animal shape, a molded logo, or a valve that is not on the current piece, that is tooling. Talk to ODM pet toy manufacturing before you promise a unique water toy for next summer's catalog.

Things that routinely blow this program:

  • Printing freeze times or milliliter claims with no test on the lot.
  • Listing one parent ASIN for bone, ball, ring, and fruit.
  • Calling the blue bone a nylon bone because the silhouette matches.
  • Promising a puppy teething claim on a 90 g TPR bone.
  • Changing a color on the blue trio after the price is locked. A new color is a new sample.
  • Using the messy weight string as carton math without a scale on the PPS.

Incoming check on bulk is plain: SKU, color against the signed swatch, centimeter size against the PPS, empty weight within an agreed tolerance, and no split seam or sharp gate mark on the parting line. If the toy is supposed to hold water, fill the same three units you weighed empty and look for leaks before you release the lot. Photo them. You do not need a new QC department. You need the same pieces you approved.

Packaging stays plain until legal copy is ready. Inner bag, hangtag, and master carton dimensions are quote fields. If you sell on a marketplace, the pack-out photo has to match the unit in the carton. A pineapple on the listing and a blue ring in the box is a return.

What to ask on the RFQ

Send this, not a mood board of dogs in a pool:

1. SKU list with centimeter size and color, copied from the table, not nicknames like "water bone."

2. Quantity per SKU, and whether fruit shapes or colors may combine toward MOQ.

3. Whether the order is empty dry units only, or you need a filling note on the warning card. If you need the second, say who writes and pays for the test.

4. Packaging: stock polybag versus custom hangtag, and who owns the dieline.

5. Destination market, and whether you will book CPSIA, EN71, or REACH on this lot. Say who pays the lab. Do not assume TPR means a certificate is already on file.

6. A pre-production sample of every shape you will list, weighed empty, signed before bulk.

7. Ship window. These units are light, but four SKUs at 120 each still need a carton plan.

The full pet toy catalog is where the rest of Classic Chew sits if the account also needs a rope or a solid TPR chew after the water set is chosen.

FAQ

Are soak water dog toys the same as nylon bones?

No. MN-1214, MN-1215, MN-1216, and MN-1213 are TPR. The coated bone in the same series is PA with a PU coating. Same bay, different material, different claim. Do not print nylon, rawhide, or edible on this set.

Can I order one mixed carton of all four shapes under MOQ 120?

Catalog MOQ is 120 on each SKU. A mix across bone, ball, ring, and the fruit toy is four minimums unless the quote says otherwise. A color or shape split inside the water fill toy also has to be confirmed. Do not assume 40/40/40.

Does the catalog say these can be frozen?

It does not. There is no freezer instruction, fill volume, or leak-test result on the product records. If your packaging needs that sentence, put the test on the RFQ.

Which SKU should a first wholesale order take?

If you stock one, take the soak water bone (16×7.8×3.9 cm, about 90 g, blue). Add the ball if you have a bin. Add the water fill toy only when you can fixture more than one fruit shape. Leave the ring until the sample has been measured.

If you want a quote on the bone, ball, ring, and fruit set together, send the SKU list and quantities through contact. We will confirm MOQ splits, packaging, and which tests your market actually needs before anyone adds a freeze line to the hangtag.
