Why Do You Give Your Dog Toys?
Why do we give dogs toys?
Well, because toys make them happy, of course! But they're also necessary in order for your dog to have a happy and healthy life. That's why I want to talk about them today. When I ask owners to think about what kinds of toys their dog likes I usually get answers that are similar. That's because dogs have similar instincts and similar needs. Most dogs LOVE squeaker toys. But here's the question on most dog owners' minds: If my dog loves playing with squeaker toys so much, why does he destroy them in a matter of minutes?
That's a good question with an interesting answer.
This is a very frequent complaint. It's quite common for a dog to go after a squeaker toy like crazy until he finally "kills" it by ripping the squeaker out. The dog loves the toy - why would he destroy it and not be able to play with it anymore?
The truth is that this kind of play behavior is instinctual. "Killing" a squeaker toy is the dog's whole objective - that's the real fun of it for them (although we might have a hard time seeing it this way.) And completing the mission is a very satisfying feat for your dog.
The squeaking noises remind your dog of the natural squeals and chirps made by live prey as they are caught, injured and killed. So the more the toy squeaks, the more excited your dog gets - and the more his instincts drive him to "finish the toy off", so to speak. Toys that squeak a lot can make your dog feel like an expert hunter, the king or queen of the pack. The process of ripping out a squeaker can be VERY satisfying to a dog, which is why squeaker toys are quite often a dog's favorite.
Dogs need to play, and we want our dogs to be happy. But understandably, we don't want to spend money on toys that will "die" in a few minutes.
Up until now, there weren't many squeaker toys that would last. That's why I was so excited to learn about this amazing new squeaker toy from a company call Kyjen. It's called theInvincible Snake. That's a perfect name for this toy because its squeakers really are "invincible".
This toy uses a revolutionary new squeaker technology that makes the squeakers nearly impossible to "kill". This toy is like the "Energizer Bunny" of squeaky toys - its squeakers justkeep going and going and going - even after they are punctured multiple times!
These new squeakers are very large (about 3 ½ inches wide) and they fill the snake's entire body (so there is no "stuffing" inside the toy). The large snake has 6 squeakers that fill the whole snake (pictured above), and the small snake has 3 squeakers. The toy is very interactive, and it even has a fun rattle in the tail. The squeakers are the perfect size for dogs from petite Chihuahuas to king-sized Great Danes and they're light enough to toss, flip, and fetch.
Your dog can bite through these squeakers again and again and they will keep on squeaking. In fact, you can repeatedly put a knife clear through them and they will still work!
There's never been a toy like the Kyjen Invincible Snake - and dogs just love it. I gave one to a friend's Lab and it is now her favorite toy. I talked to my friend Dr. Debra at Pet Product Advisor and she agreed that lots of dogs love these. To help your dog enjoy them too, PetProductAdvisor.com isoffering these Invincible Snakes to you at 33% off. As an extra bonus, each order over $29 receives a complimentary customer favorite: the Holiday Babble Ball! Simply use coupon code YEAREND2012 to claim your savings.
Having longer lasting squeakers means you'll have a longer lasting toy - with more challenging play and a lot more play satisfaction for your dog. It also means you'll spend less money because you won't have to replace the toy so quickly. We want to give our dogs the best we can and that's why I'm such a big fan of these snakes. They not only make dogs happy, but owners happy as well. Everybody wins!
Until next time,
Dr. Jon
