Toys For Dogs
If you have a dog, you know how important it is to have a nice selection of toys on hand for play time. Some think toys are for puppies only. Nay, Nay! Dogs of all ages enjoy a good chew toy. It used to be that the selection of toys for dogs was limited to the cheap paper thin rubber squeeze toys that would be destroyed as soon as you gave it to your dog! Thankfully, those days are long gone.
There are so many quality toys on the market today – either online or at your local pet store. From heavy duty indestructible dog toys, to quality dog chew toys to toys for large and small dogs alike, the perfect toy for your dog is a click or visit to your local pet store.
Humunga Tongue
Here’s a great little toy that sells for right around $10. Not only will this provide you and your dog with plenty of fun during play time, it’ll provide you with some great photo opportunities! This is a solid rubber ball with a tounge attached. Where it’s a fetch toy, your buddy will get plenty of exercise chasing it down. This toy is designed for dogs over 40 pounds as it’s a bit on the heavy side. It’s right around 9.5″ long and the ball is 2.25″ in diameter. The Humunga Tongue is currently available on sale at Amazon
Flappy Dog Toy Floatie
Here’s a fantastic toy for those dogs who love to be in the water! It was originally developed specifically for retrievers, but it works great with any dog who loves the water. It’s got a buoyant rubber core and is weighted for tossing, making it perfect for a game of fetch at the lake or pond. It’s wrapped in bright blue and orange nylon fabric, so it’s very easy to locate in the water. This particular model Flappy isn’t recommended for dogs that are aggressive chewers.
It comes in a variety of sizes so dogs of all sizes can play with it.
Rubber Talk To Me Treatball
Boy, is this a great toy! I’ve had one of these for over a year now and without question, it’s my Springer Spaniel’s favorite toy. It’s to the point where if I’m not filling that up when I sit down at the computer in the morning, I’m advised of my wayward ways very quickly.
We’ve got hardwood floors throughout the house, so we figured it would make a racket rolling around on the floor. Not so. Unlike many of the other treat balls, it is super quiet. Our dog can play with it for an hour and it doesn’t bother us at all. If you are gone from your home for long periods of time during the day, this treat ball keeps your dog company as you can record a message. The message will play when the ball is moved!
The 3.5″ ball dispenses treats while your dog rolls it around and listens to your message. While my dog derives pleasure from this every morning when I sit down at the computer, my hunch is that most dogs will enjoy this most when it’s keeping them company while their owners are away. The ball comes in small, medium and large. They are dishwasher safe, but be sure to remove the recording device before washing it… An easy working coin locking cap holds the recorder in place. Be sure to let the ball completely dry before filling with treats, or you’ll have a mess on your hands, not to mention a clogged ball.
