Shop by how dogs play — not only by material
Overseas buyers search for tough chewers, enrichment, puzzles, and cooling play. WagNab maps catalog families to play styles so retail and private-label buyers can brief factories the same way shoppers search.
Five play styles for B2B merchandising
Use these lanes for planograms, Amazon backend keywords, and ODM briefs. Pair each SKU with a Chew Strength Rating (1–5) and expected engagement duration.
