Seven Toys Fido Secretly Wants

by Bryant, Carol

If your dog is anything like mine, he or she takes joy in shredding the package a toy came wrapped in or the box that once housed it.

If you, however, are anything like me, you like to shop for your dog and perhaps the dogs of family and friends, especially with the holidays upon us. You like those toys to be fun and holiday-themed or at least something unique, fun, and memorable. I bought my dog a squeaky toy Thanksgiving dinner set last year, so I am totally into this gift giving thing.

Here are some toys worth checking out that I like to call “ooooh, where’d you get this” types:

JW Pet iSqueak Rubber Bowling Pin Dog Chew Toy is a long-lasting toy fashioned of thick walled heavy duty rubber. Got a bowler in your family? Let Fido knock ‘em over with this cute toy.

Hyper Flippy Flopper Flying Disk is part of Hyper Pet’s special ‘pink’ line of products that support The National Breast Cancer Foundation where 10% of the proceeds are donated. Love this for insatiable appetites to play while giving back.

VIP Products Tuffy’s Lizzy the Lizard Dog Chew Toy is a high quality, super tough, interactive dog toy. I’ve got a friend whose dog has chewed every toy she ever received. Guess what she will be getting in her doggy stocking this Christmas?

How smart is your dog? Find out with The MultiPet Barn Puzzle Dog Toy. My pooch has a similar toy that is a tree stump filled with stuffed baby squirrels. Well, this one engages the farm dog with its cow theme. Too cute and not udderly overpriced at all. *grin*

The Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball is a challenging ball that will entertain pets for hours. Insert dry food or treats into the Omega Paw Tricky Treat ball and as a pet plays, treats are dispensed. Good for small dogs or cats I like this for indoor play when it rains or is snowy outside. Paw-fect for holiday gift giving.

Made of press board wood, this round shaped puzzle has several areas to hide treats. Use your dog’s favorite snack to put into the SPOT Seek-A-Treat Flip ‘N Flap Dog IQ Puzzle’s 2 roller wheels open flaps and 3 holes with sliding disks. Fun for gift giving and indoor wintertime blues prevention.

Fulfill your dog’s inner sensi with the adorable Kurgo OriGummi! This somewhat wacky chew toy has a secret compartment for endless hours of hidden treat entertainment. In my research for this article, I nearly screamed with glee upon finding this. My dog is a master of the Kong toys and will play for hours on end. This just moved to the top of his holiday wish list.

These are seven of many goodies you can check out at Pet360Shop for the holidays.

What’s on your dog’s wish list?
