Choose The Best Toys For
Your Dogs
|
Playing with toys is not only
for little kids but also pets of different kind. Dogs
have their own sets of toys to enjoy during their
playing time.
Dogs benefit from these toys, health and training
wise. There are dog toys that can strengthen their
teeth
or build their intelligence especially if they also
attend a series of training classes with the experts.
Like man, dogs are very sociable. Interaction with
their companion or a sibling dog is very important
in avoiding behavioral problems in the future.

When buying toys, you may want to match them with your
dog's needs, demands and even personality. Is your dog the
type that enjoys chasing and retrieving games, or chewing,
sitting and sprawling? You may want to try experimenting
first to find out which toys make your dogs the happiest.
Before going on a toy hunt, take a look at this list of
toys that may help you identify the right kind of toy for
your dog.
CHEW TOYS.
These are perfect for the dog that likes to chew a lot.
Instead of your dog
chewing your furniture, why not buy these TOUGH little
babies for them. These types of dog toy are usually made
of nylon or latex rubber. The "King Kong Toys" are among
the popular brands of chew toys.
You can experiment by stuffing these toys with peanut butter
or cheese spread, freeze them and give them to your dog
for hours of licking and chewing fun.
Doggie "potato chips" is also a favorite. These "edible
chips" can last to a minimum of an hour to a couple of days.
They are available in different shapes like pig ears, snouts,
cow knuckles, femurs, hooves and bully sticks. Others are
bone-shaped made from a variety of vegetables such as carrots.
Another good toy for your dog's chewing pleasure is the
rawhide. These are non- consumable, mummified skin-like
toy that you have to throw away when they get soggy, and
give your dog a new one. Some rawhides are basted with a
variety of flavorings. Be sure to get the "USA rawhide"
with a little flag sticker on the label because these do
not contain preservative flavorings that are harmful for
your dogs.
SQUEAKY TOYS.
For these toys, choose the rubber over the stuffed toys
for durability and to avoid synthetic materials. These little
noisemakers are good for training your dog's hunting skills.
RETRIEVING TOYS.
These are perfect for the chase-and-retrieve types of dogs.
Dogs enjoy these toys because they get to play with you.
Frisbees and balls made specifically for this activity,
are the best to be used. Your dog will get a good workout
and so is your arm.
TUG TOYS.
These toys are best for dogs that like to grab hold and
never let go. Available in rope-like designs.
BRAIN TEASERS.
Best for dogs that is left alone a lot. "Biscuit balls"
and "food cubes" are great examples. These toys require
the dog to solve types of puzzle
in order to get a treat.
Toys are a fun way to enjoy with your dog in a sunny day
at the park. But be sure to apply proper safety measures
especially when playing with balls, sticks and stones. You
do not want to harm them in any way. Even as harmless as
playing can cause indestructible damage to your dog.
