Overcoming Challenges and Repositioning for a Brighter Future

“I am so excited to finally start revealing our hard work this year. The pandemic threw us a curveball and we are finally done playing this game."

— Lisa (~owner)

After several years of navigating the challenges brought on by shipping disruptions, price hikes, and production difficulties, we are excited to announce that Chelsy’s Toys has overcome these obstacles and is entering a new phase. We’ve taken the time to reassess, refocus, and realign our mission to offer more value to our customers than ever before.

The Past Few Years: What We’ve Faced Together

Like many small businesses, we faced hurdles during the pandemic and the global shipping crisis. Prices skyrocketed, making it hard to keep costs down without sacrificing the quality you’ve come to expect. We know how difficult it was for many of you, our loyal customers, to continue supporting us during that time, and we’re beyond grateful.

Now, we’re thrilled to say that we’ve finally made it through. Our pricing structure has been completely readjusted, allowing us to lower prices on our Tug Toys, Snuffle Balls, and Snuffle Bags. This means you’ll be able to enjoy our beloved products at more affordable prices—plus, we’re offering free shipping on all orders, always.

Chelsy’s Toys: Now Focused on Enrichment and Longevity

But this isn’t just about lowering prices. As we look toward the future, Chelsy’s Toys is repositioning itself as more than just a toy company—we’re becoming an enrichment brand with a focus on education and durability. We believe that tug toys and snuffle balls shouldn’t be disposable or consumable products. They should be tools for connection, play, and learning that can last a lifetime.

To support this vision, we are redeveloping our website to offer not only a variety of products but also training resources and tips to help you get the most out of our toys. Our mission is to provide dogs with toys that engage their bodies and minds, and we’re committed to helping you create an experience that strengthens your bond with your furry friends.
