Dog toys- What I like to keep em busy
July 20, 2010
Keeping dogs busy is a good way to keep them out of trouble!
I live by the “walk your dog daily” mantra, so after your long walk in the am,
you can prepare a toy for your dogs time alone.
There are common toys like Kongs, http://www.kongcompany.com/, that you can fill with anything that your dog can tolerate. You can freeze or put the filled kong in the fridge to solidify the mixture.
I like:
-banana yogurt mix
-peanut butter yougurt
-wet dog food
I opt for soft items for my dogs kong so there is no choking risk like there may be
if the kong is filled with hard kibble or treats.
There are kong treat balls(and other brand) that make your dog work for treats or kibbles as well
I also like marrow bones right from the butcher. Remember to always feed them raw. Never give your dog a cooked bone.
The ones sold at the pet supply stores are smoked and are not my favorite as they break too.
Nylabones are great too. I didnt think platic would be fun for dogs until my boxer ate my remote control. Then I realized
dogs like hard plastic.
I recommend bully sticks instead of rawhides. Bully sticks are all natural and highly digestible. Rawhides are not.
