Pet Toys

Toys are not a luxury for our pets but a necessity. Toys are designed to give your pet satisfaction and helps prevent boredom. Because a bored puppy means what can I chew on, and many times that toy is your $600 pair of shoes. Remember not to give your dog a dog toy that is too small where he doesn't need to chew it before ingesting, because a piece of that toy might end up choking him.

Activity Dog Toys: Many of these toys hold food or treats and some require your dog to experiment to understand how the treats are released. 'Kongs' are a good example- they are flexible rubber products that have a small hole through which they can be filled with different things (food, treats, etc.). These are particularly well suited for dogs when they are left alone or for dogs that are under-stimulated and have a low boredom threshold. Pet toys are sold where Pet Meds are sold.

Play Toys: These are generally toys that you use to play with your dog or for dogs to play with each other. Hearding dogs, gun dogs and hounds have a preference for hunt, chase and retrieving games. Toys that can be easily thrown or rolled work best for these games. Guarding and hunting dogs like possession games such as tug-o-war. Toys which can be held by two or more players are best suited for this. Terriers like kill games which are best simulated with soft toys that can be grabbed, shaken and thrown around. Squeaky toys are often a favorite. When you're shopping for your Pet Meds, pick up a pet toy for your friend.



Puppy Toys: Puppy teething occurs between the ages of 3-7 months, there are many products that specifically target the requirements of puppies which help ease the discomfort of teething. Generally the younger the puppy, the more pliable the chew toy needs to be.
