Indestructible Dog Toys
My neighbour went to the state fair this past week and brought back the traditional gifts for my children: cotton candy and every freebie he could get his hands on. Organizations ranging from the Red Cross to local colleges to wineries give away bookmarks, refrigerator magnets, balsa wood gliders, calendars, whistles…and flying discs. We once gave the plastic flying discs to our dog but quickly learned that what is a great toy for a human isn’t always a great toy for a dog. It wasn’t that she didn’t love them—she did. But the discs were shredded after just a few play sessions and we always wondered if those pieces of plastic were ending up in Maggie’s stomach. We switched to discs made of a unrippable material but recently found a rubbery disc that is easier on Maggie’s teeth and doesn’t shred: Zogoflex Discs. They also carry Huck and Tux—wacky shaped balls that are unpredictable when they bounce which just adds to the fun. Best of all, especially at our house that includes a large pond, they float.
