Pet Toys

Has your dog chewed up your slippers? Has your cat scratched up your couch? Your pets aren't misbehaving! They're just doing what's natural, so give them the pet toys they need so they can do what nature tells them to do -- without destroying your home!

Busy dogs need dog toys, and the bigger the dog is, the tougher the dog toys need to be. Some vets recommend separating interactive pet toys from solo-play pet toys. Leave out solo-play dog toys like chew toys when you are not at home, and remember to have some pet toys in his kennel. Get out interactive dog toys like retrieving toys or tug-of-war ropes when you are there. Remember to replace your dog's pet toys when they have been chewed up -- before they start falling apart -- to avoid choking hazards.

Pet toys for cats can range from little toy mice to large cat towers. Having a few small cat toys around when you are not home can keep your cat from getting bored when you're not there. When you get home, use dangling cat toys to play with your cat and to give her some exercise. Catnip-filled pet toys give kitty a little extra zing at playtime, and many are refillable when the catnip wears out. If kitty is trying to scratch your furniture, the best pet toy is a catnip-treated scratching post placed near the spot she wants to scratch; this will encourage her to scratch the post instead.
