What’s the point of having a dog if you can’t enjoy watching them while they play? Not only are they adorable, they’re also very therapeutic to watch. However, when playing with a toy, most dogs will start to nudge you to throw the toy for them or even bite you if you’re holding it.
Dog toys can be very expensive and most of them are chew toys, but you don’t necessarily have to buy the most expensive toys to satisfy your dog. Instead, you can look for dog toys that are durable and can withstand lots of chewing and playing.
If your dog loves to chew on their toys, you may have noticed that they tend to swallow the toy whole and then start to choke on it. This is a very common problem with most dog toys, but there are dog slow feeders on the market that can help prevent this.
In this article, we will go through our top picks of dog slow feeders.
