| All About Dog Toys Yes, they really do keep dogs happy |
If you own a dog, chances are you've purchased a dog toy or two (dozen) over the years. But, what
exactly are you paying for anyway? Would a dog be just as happy playing with a piece of
cardboard or a gift box? Well, it's true that everyday household items may hold your dog's attention
for a while here and there but true dog toys were made with a dog's brain in mind.
If you're a seasoned dog toy buyer, you may have noticed that some "dog toys" aren't really dog
toys at all. They're really just re-packaged baby toys and stuffed animals. And, instead of keeping
the wants and desire of dogs at the forefront, these toy manufacturers are marketing solely to dog
owners - hoping they'll find the dog toys "cute" enough to buy.
So, how can you tell if a dog toy has you in mind rather than your dog?
First, take a good look at the so-called dog toy. If it's shaped like a cup of coffee or has the picture
of a nostalgic candy on it, well then it's marketing towards your needs, not your dog's. We can
guarantee your dog's not the least bit interested in the fact that a stuffed toy is shaped like a
lollipop or lipstick or a pocketbook - yes really!
But, don't worry, choosing dog toys that your dog will love is easy. Just think like your dog. Dogs
like to chew, dogs like noises, dogs like to fetch, dogs like to chase things, dogs like to tug, etc.
Dog toys should be fun to play with, not look cute.
Did you know that there's even a whole line of interactive dog toys that let you have fun right
alongside your dog? Yep, these dog toys are designed for both owner and dog to play together.
For instance, Fishing poles that let you reel in your dog for a tugging game or a bubble blower that
you control to blow bacon bubbles to your dog, tennis ball throwers and more.
Now that you're in the know about dog toys, you can bet you'll see your dog playing with his dog
toys more often and for longer periods of time!
