Large Dog Toys
Shopping For Large Dog Toys
Large dog toys are a must, especially if they don’t have other canines to play with. They’ve got a lot of energy just collecting inside them, ready to burst out in a bout of misbehavior if you don’t cuff it at the wrist. Big dogs need to play and if you don’t have the time to play with them, you should get them a whole bunch of toys.
Large dog toys need to be tougher and stronger than normal dog toys. These dogs are bigger and stronger than their lapdog counterparts and thus need tougher toys to play with to avoid injury and constant replacement.
The Chuckle is a good place to start in terms of large dog toys. It’s a noise making purple bone that any dog should have a lot of fun chewing and playing with. Both ends of the purple bone have inner-facing rubber prongs that allow for a neat trick: snack dispensing. Just put some treats or kibble in the prongs and while your dog plays with it, random food will pop out. It’s made of natural rubber and is best for dogs twenty pounds or heavier – smaller dogs just won’t be able to play with it.
The Huck Large is another toy that you should take a look at. Made from a unique material called Zogoflex, it’s the kind of toy that’ll keep your dog on its toes. It’s basically a ball with hefty weight and various grooves that cause it to bounce rather unpredictably. Just toss it and watch your dog twitch and try to chase it down – if your dog likes to play in the water, this is also an option as it floats. It’s also very, very tough. It’s so tough in fact that its sellers often give a one time and full replacement guarantee.
The Hurley is yet another toy made out of Zogoflex, this time in a shape only reminiscent of a bone. It apparently has the fun of a bone and a ball, which basically means that it is a bone that bounces. It floats in water and is quite resilient, making a fine choice for dogs that like the shape of a bone but want it to bounce too.
Large dog toys are stocked in most pet stores – if there isn’t one near your area, don’t hesitate to check out the internet for sites where you can order things. Amazon.com is an obvious option. Ruffntuffdogtoys.com is another place to shop for those kinds of toys. Of course, not matter how fancy the toy is, you’ll need to get one that your dog actually likes, so don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t like the first few toys.
