Your Pet’s Favorite Toys
Do you know what toys she loves to play with? What are the best cat or dog toys? What toys are safe for your pet?
Pet Toy Mistakes To Avoid
Toys that are the wrong size for your pet. Remind yourself that your dog wants to play with her toys. Small toys for big dogs can hazardous if they slip into the back of her mouth and block her breathing.
Be smart and stay safe: Buy the right size toy for the size of your dog.
Limited toy selection for your pet. Your pet will get bored playing with the same toys all the time. Here’s where your toy buying strategy kicks in. Think about a collage of different toys to rotate for your pet.
He may get bored playing with the same toys – squeaky toys, balls, plush toys. Find interesting toys like a bouncing ball with a different shape
Be smart: Buy fun pet toys – play toy rotation can keep your dog interested and keep his play time fun.
Not enough dual-purpose pet toys. Dual purpose toys are great for mental exercise for your pet. Food puzzles, activity mats or hide and slide toys. Dual-purpose activities can keep your dog curious and engaged in playtime.
Be smart: Buy dual-purpose toys to keep your dog mentally and physically active.
Few toys that your dog loves to play with. You should know what makes your dog happy. Don’t spend your money on toys she won’t play with.
Dogs have their unique preferences when it comes to people and toys. If she likes squeaky toys, put more of them under the Christmas tree.
Be smart: Buy enough toys to keep her happy all year!
This year, be smart about your pet toy shopping. Think about some fun toys that improve your pet’s quality of life.
