How to keep your dog from chewing up toys

We thought this article was worth sharing. Animal behaviorist talks about how to keep your dog from chewing up their toys.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/homegarden/2011749005_dogtoys01.html

Some of the toys that we find the best for aggressive chewers are the Canine Genius Mike and Leo dog toys.
They serve as treat dispensing toys or just really durable toys that your dog can toss and carry.
The Premier Kibble Nibble is also fantastic for alleviating boredom. Fill it with Premier Buddy Ohs.

Dogs do destructive behavior when they are bored. Besides taking your dog for walks, you need to stimulate their mind with things that activate their mind too. The Nina Ottosson puzzle toys are truly wonderful for bringing out the natural seek and find instinct in your dog.

Lisa Moore, animal behaviorist, also suggests giving your dog chew treats. We try everything on our dog. She is our tester for the chews.
Not all chews are created equal. We follow the Whole Dog Journal for new products and try to obtain samples to try. We only carry the highest quality dog treats and Free Range dog chews- all made in the USA.
Wholesome Hide rawhides are a great chew for those times that you want to just keep your dog occupied and quiet.

The Aikiou dog bowl feeder doubles as a slow feed dog bowl and treat dispensing toy. you can fill it with kibble at meal time and also
put high quality, healthy treats inside the compartments when you would like to have some quality interactive play time with your
dog.

Its so nice outside, so take advantage of the weather and work with your friend on fetch and retrieval training,
We like the Kyjen Fetch and Retrieve training tube. It's perfect for taking out for your trail time and filling with her favorite healthy treat. The idea is so simple. you throw the tube and ask her to bring it to you. When she appropriately releases the tube reward her with a treat from inside.

Bumi Dog Toys

We are always looking for cool, eco-friendly dog toys and found the Būmi dog toys from West Paw Design.


What makes this toy so interesting is the material it is made of. This "S" shaped toy actually stretches to double its length. This makes it great for playing Tug-O-War with your dog. West Paw Design guarantees the durability of their toys made with Zogoflex.
If it does get destroyed, they will give you a refund.
You can pull, flex, throw and float this toy. West Paw recommends this even for “destructive dogs” we love!


This toy is made in the USA and is a recyclable dog toy, so it is an earth-friendly (green) toy.


They even have a recycle program that you send the old toy back to them and it will be recycled into new West Paw toys made from Zogoflex.
Mickey's Pet Supplies has the Būmi, Hurley and Zizc on SALE this weekend only for 10% off regular price. Sale price will be listed below regular price.

Snook's Sweet Potato Dog Chews

Snook's Sweet Potato dog chews are literally organic dried sweet potatoes on a natural hemp rope. These are really a neat dog chew. They are perfect for dogs that are on a restricted diet.

Available in small for dogs 3-20 lbs, medium for 20-60 lbs, large for 60-100 lbs and the extra large for dogs 100+ lbs.

This company is family owned and source all their sweet potatoes from one organic source here in the USA.

The Snook's family genuinely have a love for dogs. They decided to find an alternative to animal product chews, made especially for dogs with allergies. After reading about the nutritional benefits of sweet potatoes they came up with a dried sweet potato and ingeniously put them on a natural knotted hemp rope. After introducing the chews at their local market in Portland, OR the natural food and pet stores carried their products with huge demand for more!

Since we feel strongly about carrying products that are all natural and made in the USA we decided to carry the chews in our online pet store. Our dog, Nia now drags her chews on a rope everywhere she goes.

If you are wondering about the nutrients in sweet potatoes, here are the facts:

Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and prove to be a great anti-oxidant rich food.

Dogs are omnivores and giving them fruits and vegetables in addition to their meat based diet is great. Another benefit of the chews is the chews and rope help clean your dog's teeth naturally.
