Dog games

For your dog, toys are more than just small entertainment. They prevent them from being bored and running amok in your house, like destroying furniture or digging up your garden. Providing your dog with appropriate toys and chews keeps them happy, occupied, stimulated, and healthy.

Dog toys come in a wide variety, but the safest and healthiest options are often non-toxic, safe, and promote mental and physical stimulation as well as social connection and exercise. See why dog toys are so beneficial for your four-legged buddy in this article.

Dog toys' advantages

Exercise: In order to maintain their physical and mental health, dogs need to exercise regularly. Exercise can be enjoyable for both you and your dog when you provide them toys like balls that can be thrown and caught.

Intellectual stimulation: Without mental stimulation, dogs can turn destructive and unruly. All dogs require physical activity as well as mental stimulation.

Playtime is a great method to strengthen your bond with your pet. Interactive activities like tug-of-war are wonderful ways to spend quality time with your dog(s). Toys can also help your dogs bond with one another.

Dental health: Keeping your dog's teeth clean while they play with toys can keep them stimulated and healthy. Dental hygiene is very vital to a dog's health.

How can dog toys be cleaned?

Hard toys

Start by using a brush to remove any dried-on dirt and debris from hard objects. After that, give your dog's toys a thorough wash in warm, soapy water. The toys can also be sanitized using bleach diluted with water. Before letting your dog play with its toys, make sure they are completely dry.

Rope and plush toys

Bacteria and mould can quickly grow in soft toys. If you have a dishwasher, clean them by brushing off any dry dirt before sanitizing them. After putting the toys in the top rack, use a hot cycle on the machine to clean them thoroughly with hot water and high water pressure. Use the hot cycle on your washing machine to clean them if you don't have a dishwasher. After that, let the plush toys air dry.
