There’s no doubt that when it comes to relaxing time, animals are just as keen as kids to get stuck in to some serious toy playing. Whilst chasing balls can be great fun, sometimes your favourite moggie or pooch deserves a selection of other pet toys to challenge and stimulate their senses. Most dogs love anything that involves chewing or tugging, and if you add in a bit of variety with some squeaking or talking soft toys, they’ll be kept happy for hours.
Most traditional and online pet shops offer their customers a selection of toys for cats and dogs, and some businesses even focus completely on selling pet playthings. Hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and other popular small pets all profit from the extra stimulus offered by pet toys. A dog will benefit from items like a rag rope with lots of different bits to chew and hang on to. You could even try a special floating toy that encourages your dog to indulge in some river or sea swimming.
Kong is one of the foremost manufacturers of pet toys for dogs. Their chewing, squeaking and tugging toys are some of the most popular on the market, and are sold at a wide range of prices. Naturally it’s important to select the right toy for each size and ability of an individual animal, and most retailers can offer guidance if required.
