The Best
Dog Toys
Every
canine deserves to have dog toys. Just like people, all work and
no play make Rover a dull dog. And if dogs had their way they would
play all day. For our canine pals playtime ranks right up there with
mealtime.
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.
