How To Make A Dog Toy

Does it seem like dog toys come into your house for the sole purpose of being destroyed? Can your pup rip the squeaker out of a stuffed duck in 30 seconds flat? DIY dog toys could be your answer if you're tired of shelling out big bucks on store-bought toys that don't last very long -- or worse -- are potentially unsafe for your pup to play with. Not only is it annoying to see those shiny new toys ripped to shreds, but it could also pose a choking hazard or other tummy trouble if your dog actually ingests pieces of cloth, filling or plastic -- especially those cheaper dog toys which may not be made from the best materials to begin with. Luckily, you probably already have dozens of potential DIY dog toys just waiting to be made from unused things in your house. Round up some old T-shirts, towels, bed sheets, tennis balls and anything else that can be repurposed into a boredom buster for Fido. Remember, toys are a necessity for keeping your dogs happy, active and out of trouble, but spending tons of money on them doesn't have to be. Happy crafting!
