What kind of toys should I get for my dog?
Different dogs need different toys. What is important is that your dog has toys and that you play with your dog and his toys. Many dogs, especially younger dogs, need durable toys such as those made from hard rubber. Latex toys are the next most durable, followed by vinyl, and finally fabric. It’s best to supervise your dogs when they are with their toys until you are confident that they will not destroy and ingest them. This could cause a serious, expensive and potentially life-threatening problem. Never use “non-toys” as a toy. These “non-toys” are your hands, old shoes, old gloves, etc. This will only confuse your dog. Some of the best toys are the ones that make your dog think. Buster Cubes, food-stuffed Kongs, and Tricky Treat Balls, Stuff-a-Balls, and other toys that can be stuffed with food will give your dog hours of enjoyment.
