Toys for dogs
It is important for puppies to learn to play. Above all, toys for young dogs should be safe, ensuring no pieces break off that could cause constipation. The Kong Puppy is made of sturdy rubber. Filling the toy with treats makes playing not only fun but also educational. When puppies are teething, they feel the need to chew on something. The Kong Puppy Teething Stick is specially designed for this period. The soft rubber cares for and cleans the changing teeth.
Not only do puppies want to bite on something, but adult dogs also want to chew. For these dogs, there are toys that respond to this chewing instinct, such as the Sumo Dental. To encourage play, use fillable toys that you can stuff with something tasty. Your dog’s play and movement will be rewarded as the treats roll out of the toy.
Toys for cats
Kittens are naturally playful. They enjoy chasing wads of paper and can amuse themselves for hours with a roll of toilet paper. As cats get older, they often lose this playfulness. In cats that do not like to go outside, boredom can become an issue. If you want to play a special game with your cat, you can use FroliCat’s products. Through play, boredom, obesity, and associated health problems can be prevented.
Toys for horses
If a horse is bored in the stable or pasture, it may develop bad habits such as chewing on the wood of the stable, weaving, or kicking. To prevent this, distract the horse with toys. For example, hang a lick in the stable. In the pasture, your horse can have fun with the Jolly Ball. A football can also provide you and your horse with hours of entertainment.
