NEPTUNE CITY, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2026 / Nylabone⁠, an iconic brand in the Central Garden & Pet Company⁠ portfolio, has been named a 2026 Industry Icon in Consumer Products by The 2026 List⁠, presented by Industry & Influence⁠. The recognition highlights the brand's long-standing focus on helping dogs satisfy their natural urge to chew through product innovation, practical design, and solutions that encourage positive chewing habits.

Since 1955, Nylabone has been at the forefront of chew innovation, creating solutions that support healthy chewing for dogs at every stage of life. The brand starts with a behavior dogs naturally want to express, then develops chew toys that give it an appropriate outlet and help prevent destructive chewing, with options matched to different ages, sizes, and chewing strengths.

"As a veterinarian, I recommend providing dogs with appropriate chew toys to satisfy their natural urge to chew. Nylabone offers a variety of chew toys, including new Nylabone chew toys made with real meats for adult dogs and puppies, giving them an engaging and flavorful way to satisfy their natural chewing instinct," said Dr. Ruthanne MacPete, DVM, Nylabone Veterinary Partner.

Nylabone's latest innovation is its collection of chew toys made with real chicken, bison, venison, bacon, and beef⁠. Available in shapes including the Original Bone, Textured Ring, Femur Bone, and Comfort-Hold Wishbone, the U.S.-made collection combines flavor, durable materials, and textured designs that encourage engagement and help clean teeth as dogs chew.

Nylabone also helps pet parents choose the right chew. Packaging includes a chew meter and size recommendations, and usage instructions encourage matching products to a dog's age, weight, and chewing strength, supervising use, and replacing toys as they wear.

The 2026 List recognizes 100 Industry Icons across ten categories, highlighting companies, creators, and leaders for innovation, leadership, and industry impact. Nylabone's recognition connects its 70-year history with its continued evolution of a familiar consumer-product category.
