Best Toys For Dogs – 2010

When it comes time to choose the best toys for dogs, the top critics available for making those choices are the ones with four legs. Who knows better what toys they’ll like than the dogs themselves? That’s why choosing toys for your pets that they’ll actually play with, instead of taking out their exuberance on your favorite pair of shoes or the leather sofa, is very important.

There are a variety of toys available that dogs definitely enjoy. From rope toys to stuffed “companions”, dogs enjoy a wide variety of entertainment. However there are a couple of types that seem to be far more popular than any other. These are the ones where the pet actually gets a reward for playing with the toy because it dispenses food and has the virtue of being one of the toughest dog toys.

While having toys that dispense food aren’t exactly new, there are some that have taken that to the next level. Not only can these toys dispense dry food, which is where most of these have their limitation, but some actually have the ability to either dispense peanut butter and other types of ‘sticky’ foods, or has a place where these can be put so the dog will have a challenge getting to it. These types of toys actually get played with even when empty because the dog remembers the food being in it.

That way, even if there isn’t food in the toy, the dog is very well entertained. And when it comes to feeding time, instead of the same old boring dish full of food, having these toys loaded up with food not only encourages the dog to play with a dog toy, but also encourages them to eat “responsibly”. By only feeding the dog as much food as is in the toy, you are actually preventing the dog from overeating with a “filled bowl”.

So, not only are you protecting your expensive furnishings and footwear, but you’re also protecting your dog’s health. That’s another reason these are the absolute best toys you can get for your dog.
