Finding Safe And Durable Dog Toys
from: Kyle BesserThe pet supply industry offers a large selection of dog toys in all price ranges. Most dog toys range in price from $3 to $30. The price of the toy does not always reflect the quality of the toy.
A pet owner generally searches for a safe and durable toy that will appeal to the dog. Before purchasing a toy, the dog owner should examine each toy for defects that could affect the safety and durability of the toy.
The following are some of the most popular types of dog toys:
*Hard rubber toys for chewing or interactive play such as fetch.
*Vinyl toys, which often have squeakers, for chewing or interactive play such as fetch.
*Hard chew toys as a safe alternative to rawhide or bones for strong chewers.
*Rope toys for fetch, chewing and tugging.
*Balls for fetch.
*Interactive toys with treat dispensers, puzzle boxes with plush toys inside
*Plush toys and stuffed animals made of fleece, plush or some other cloth
*Rawhide chews for dental health
*Rawhide bones for dental health
The dog should always be supervised with a toy, especially if the dog is a strong chewer. Many dog toys have inner parts, such as stuffing and squeakers, that are choking hazards. Larger dogs can also easily tear apart tennis balls and rawhide and should not be left unattended with these. Only a few types of sturdy toys are safe for unsupervised play, hard rubber toys and hard chew toys.
Dog toys don't have to be expensive. You can find top brand dog toys for less money during sales. Periodically call the local pet stores and ask about toy sales. When you go shopping in department stores or grocery stores, walk by the dog supplies to check for toy on sale.
You can find cheap dog toys and discounted top brand name dog toys online. You can sign up for their newsletters and receive sale announcements in your email. Alpha Dog Toys, Dog.com, Drs. Foster and Smith, Petco, Petsmart and Todaysdog are a few pet retailers you can find online that offer reasonable prices and frequent sales on dog toys. Many of these retailers offer free shipping.
