Great Dog Toys for man's best friend
Posted by: djohun on: September 18, 2010
Man’s best friend loves us but also loves to play so it is up to the owners to supply them with great, safe toys. They need a variety of toys so they have some they play with alone and others that are fun for them and yourself. Because they are such social animals many dogs hate to be alone even for a few hours. Sometimes, having a special toy brought out only when you will be away for a bit can relieve a little of your pets stress.
The most important factor when selecting a dog toy is your pets’ safety. Make sure that any toys you purchase are large enough, so they are not choking hazards. Durable toys that hold up to biting, pulling and chewing are necessary. Never give a dog stuffed animals made for children as they are easy to tear apart and can injure your pet. Shopping for a dog toy is often confusing because there are so many choices. There are rope toys, chew toys, rawhide bones, rubber balls, stuffed animals, talking toys, treat filled toys and dental toys. These are only a few of hundreds of toys available. Picking an appropriate toy that your will love and play can be difficult.
If your dog is very energetic and needs an hour or more of play daily, with or without their owners, they need toys that stand up to a lot of abuse. Hard rubber toys and balls, that you throw to your pet or play soccer with, are great for burning off energy. Ropes are good for fetching and tugging on. If your dog likes to chew, then nylon bones and pigs ears are fantastic for keeping your pet busy. Tough, thick, study toys are perfect for busy, lively dogs. Other dogs play hard for about five or ten minutes and then need to take a rest or nap. Often these are the smaller breeds of dog. Dog safe stuffed animals, squeaky toys or their own blanket to tug on or sleep with, are great choices. For the dogs that fit between extremely energetic and low energy try toys such as rope toys, rubber balls and treat toys. If your dog loves water and you spend a lot of time at the beach or lake, there are floating dog toys made specifically for throwing and fetching.
All dogs have their own distinct personality and just like children and what we think they will like is not necessarily what they want. Many pet stores allow owners to bring their pets shopping along with them. Not only is this fun for both but you might be amazed at what toys your dog really prefers, that you would not usually consider. You may find that your Great Dane is terrified of squeaky toys or that your toy poodle wants a soccer ball to push around. It can be a very interesting experience seeing what color, size or shape toys attract your pets.
The bottom line is that no matter what great dog toys you end up Shopping for your pet, make sure it is safe for them.

Do you need to know what constitutes a good toddler learning toy? Is it the lights and sounds that make it appealing or its ability to evolve with your child as he or she grows?
For a long time, I was choosing the wrong kind of toys for my kids. I bought whatever was a learning toy type of brand – like LeapFrog – without thinking about whether my child would actually play with it. And if they never invest any time in it, then it’s a waste of money.
Here are the top toddler learning toys for Christmas 2009:
1.) Arts and crafts for toddlers – When children get to get messy, it makes them absorb all sorts of information and branch out to create their own world. Melissa and Doug toys – specifically the Easel, are great artistic and educational toys for toddlers.
2.) Electronic toys for toddlers – LeapFrog and Fisher Price lead the industry in electronic toys for little kids. They do more than just include flashing lights and cute little sounds. They get your toddler to make decisions on what actions to take next and reward them for when they succeed. LeapFrog Scribble and Write is currently one of the bestsellers in this category.
3.) Interactive toys for toddlers – Interactive toys are those that give your child the chance to participate in the learning process. This year, one of the hottest toddler educational toys are the zhu zhu Pet Hamsters. These toys are better than the real deal because there’s no mess to clean up, no real food to buy – your boy or girl will adore how the hamsters act and look real, moving from room to room to participate in activities and aking realistic noises. The learning part comes into play as your child cares for and nurtures his or her pet.
4.) Life skills learning toys for toddlers – Life skill toys are those that teach kids the basics they’ll need throughout life, such as how to tell time, knowing their shapes, counting numbers and discovering the alphabet and spelling. The bestselling toddler toy in this group is called My Tot Clock: Helping Small Children Sleep Better…So Parents Can Too!
5.) Action figures and dress up toys for toddlers – Don’t underestimate the little action figures your toddler boy may crave. They stimulate imaginative play, just as the costumes and dress up toys do for little girls. One of the best action figure playsets for boys this Christmas 2009 is the Fisher-Price Super Friends Batcave.And for dress-up, it’ll be International Playthings My First Purse in Purple.
One thing is important to remember when choosingtoddler learning toys – you’ll often find that gender doesn’t matter. Boys might want to play with girlie items and girls may love the toolset This little boy child will get for Christmas.
