Dogs love to chew on a fun toy. Presenting dogs with toys to play with is important to promote the overall health and wellness of your pup. Toys are not a luxury for your dog, but rather a necessity. Playtime is an essential part of their emotional and cognitive health. Behavioral concerns, such as biting on items, can form when your puppy lacks the appropriate avenues to follow their behavioral instinct.

Buying your dog a toy is a great way to help prevent boredom when you are not in your home and stop your dog from forming behavioral problems. Dogs are often going to play with practically anything. However, it's suggested to give toys that deliver a variety of uses and to alternate them once a week to try to keep things safe and fascinating. Educating dogs to distinguish their toys from their humans belongings can stop them from chewing on things they should not.

How to choose dog toys: 

Dog toys must be safe, interesting, and long lasting. Your selection for the toys depends on the age, size, and activity level of your dog. The ideal time to present toys into your dog's life is when they are pups to help them develop their teeth, muscles, and joints. Offer pups with toys to gnaw on, chase, bite, and pull as one method of assisting them in thriving. Puppies with baby teeth will need toys with a softer composition. 

Another vital element when buying dog toys is the size of the toy relative to the size of your dog. Too little of a toy is specifically dangerous with the danger of swallowing and choking. The toy you choose for your pet needs to be appropriate for your dogs present size. Selecting the very best dog toy will certainly ensure both a safe and fun playtime. Safety must always come first, followed by enjoyment when picking toys for your dog. 

It's important to supervise your dog while they play with their toys. Visually inspect their toys occasionally to check that it has not been damaged to present a danger of choking. Remove and replace any toy that is damaged.

I recently got a puppy and was looking for a store close by that offered healthy food/treats for my pup. They are a one stop shop for me always. I get my pup's dog food here, treats, toys, bandanas, bathing stuff, etc. Lauren the owner is amazing and always so helpful! She always takes the time to help me find what I am looking for and recommend anything she thinks would be beneficial for my pup. She is very knowledgeable and truly cares about your animals care. Carrie and Kayla who work there as well are fantastic and always willing to help me find what I need. The best dog store around! Thankful for this hardworking business and these ladies who run it.

My fiancé and I recently traveled to Reading to visit family and we brought our puppy. We didn’t want to bring dog food so we searched around for a pet store to just buy it once we arrived. we called to see if they would have our pet food and unfortunately they did not carry it :/ However they said they would order it for us! I think it is awesome that they did this for us and it made our lives sooooo much easier not having to bring out own dog food. They went above and beyond our expectations. Fantastic!!
