Choose
The Best Toys
For Your Dogs
Playing with toys is not the monopoly
of 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.
