Dog Toys: Dog’s and Man’s Best Friend
My dogs, like millions of others, have toys stashed throughout. In fact Sarah has been known to drop her toys on my husband’s head in the middle of the night in hopes of getting him to play.
Like all good dog owners I am always on the lookout for new and exciting toys and games for my canine kids. Because let’s face it, just like human kids do, our canine kids can get bored with the same old toys.
Did you know that like human kids, canine kids need toys to keep them mentally stimulated and to keep them out of trouble?
A house with a shortage of dog toys is likely to have a dog that has behavior problems. Bored dogs, like bored kids, often get into trouble.
How To Choose The Best Dog Toys
Buy the right size toy for your furry friend. Although there are always exceptions- I’ve seen a Chihuahua that just loves his stuffed squirrel that’s bigger than him.
Make sure nothing can split or fall off. Dogs love to “grab and run” so make sure there are not pieces they can chew off that might hurt them.
Very hard rubber toys like kongs are very safe and are very durable. It’s obvious that Joe Markham, inventor of the Kong Toy, was a dog lover.
Even dogs need their comfort toys. Be sure to have a few soft toys around.
It takes two. Toys are not an excuse to ignore your lonely friend. Dogs are social and need you to play with them. Fetch, tug of war, chase the person, hide and seek – dogs can not live happily without playing with you.
