Homemade Dog Toys

RE: Homemade Dog Toys Post By Kristina Emily Dimond,age 11 (Guest Post) (11/10/2008) I just make an origami claw out of strong paper and give it to my dog and she can play with it for a few hours before I have to make a new one (they are very easy to make). My dog is a big husky pit bull mix and is three years old.

The pup gets a "rattle" and has to work for their treat! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Dog Toys Post By Emma (Guest Post) (09/27/2008) Making a couple of chew toys is easy. You can just give the ice cubes or freeze toys in water or treats or whatever, then you can leave them outside for them to play with.

Find a limb that's approximately 20 feet up in the tree and tie one end of a 25 foot rope around the limb. Tie knots and loops in the other end so that it hangs about 2 feet off the ground. It works like a tug'o'war they can play by themselves! I found rope at a farm supply store and spent about $10 for the whole thing! I have a high energy dog and this keeps her entertained for hours!

Ive had to replace it just recently and he is 13 years old.(boxer) To me Its safer for him than fabric or plastic would be and well worth the money.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Dog Toys Post By (Guest Post) (08/16/2008) I have given my dog (black lab) Bear a cow leg bone, it is enormous and it has kept him busy for months, it is too large for him to splinter and there was quite a bit of meat on it. I got it from our butcher and baked it at 350 for an hour, to cook the meat, which was gone in a few days but he also loves socks tied in knots.

Answers: Homemade Doggy Toy Take old beat up towels, cut them into thin strips. Braid the strips together into one long rope. Tie a knot on each end. Now you have a homemade Doggy toy! By RRementer2003 (03/11/2005) By ThriftyFun RE: Homemade Dog Toys We use old socks as dog toys. Tie one or two knots in it to use as tug-of-war toy. Works great! (03/11/2005) By ladybear RE: Homemade Dog Toys I have spent lots of money on toys for my pup, and the ones that make him the happiest are the ones that don't cost a dime. Put peanut butter in a cloth, wrap it, tie the ends, wet it and freeze it. Its great for teething. Secondly I put out a margarine container for water and found him tossing it and having a great time (just watch out for it breaking). Then we thought he'd love a Frisbee, so I tried the margarine lid as a Frisbee. It works and he loves it. Good thing I spent $11 on a Nylabone he doesn't touch! (04/19/2005) By angie79 RE: Homemade Dog Toys Take an old cotton rope, tie a couple of knots in it so it is about a foot long. Soak the rope in a chicken/beef broth for a while and then let it dry. The dog loves it and it is cheap. (06/28/2005) By matt Homemade Dog Toys If your dog loves tennis balls, grab one and soak it in chicken/beef stock they just love it! (07/29/2005) By sabrina_leegue RE: Homemade Dog Toys You can give your dog or puppy an old stuffed animal that someone doesn't want or like anymore. Just be careful that it doesn't have any glass beads as eyes or a nose. (08/09/2005) By Aspen Corren RE: Homemade Dog Toys We put about a cup of rice in an empty pop bottle! The noise it makes keeps the dogs occupied and it's hard for them to grab (2 liter pop bottles work best for larger dogs). (12/10/2005) By Abby Doggy toys - homemade If you take a hand towel, knot one end (easier done when dry- knotting is optional), wet it really well, twist the towel gently without letting much water squeeze out, leave it twisted and place in freezer. Leave in freezer for half a day to a full day and let dog play with outside. Its great for the teeth, its healthy (as its just water), plus its refreshing for the dog in the summer because it nice and cool. The knotted end is great to hold when you throw it. (02/26/2006) By GuineaPigLover RE: Homemade Dog Toys Cut off the leg of an old pair of jeans. Tie in a knot and it makes a great tug toy. My dogs love to play tug with this together. Careful not to let them chew it up and swallow pieces. (03/21/2006) By mtnrin My 5yr. old dog luvs it!!!! All we do is get a bottle of water or just get an empty bottle (plastic) then squeeze it so it makes that crackly sound. Then throw it up in the air a lot so that your dog sees it and just keep squeezing it. Your dog will love it! (06/04/2006) By Hattie RE: Homemade Dog Toys My dog loves to lounge on the couch and just sit there and chew the couch to pieces. So if your dogs likes to chew furniture find an old pillow with no zipper, or if your dog chews wood find an old piece of wood that doesn't splinter and if you want even soak it in beef broth for awhile. (08/08/2006) By Nevaeh RE: Homemade Dog Toys Use an empty plastic bottle to make a Kong toy. Put dry food inside a hard plastic bottle, and cut a small hole in the end of it. As the dog pushes and shakes the bottle little bits of food come out! My Labradors love these and I leave them one each every day to play with. (09/10/2006) By Joanne RE: Homemade Dog Toys Take an old shirt, cut into 3 strips, and tie them together at one end. Then braid the three strips and tie the other end. You can spread peanut butter, soak it in broth, wet dog food or anything your dog likes or you can leave it plain. (02/04/2007) By jackie RE: Homemade Dog Toys I love the sock idea as it works brilliantly also if you take a tennis ball and drill a hole through it, thread some rope through the ball and knot the rope so that the ball can't come off. Your dogs will love this tug rope and tennis ball. (02/18/2007) By ludo...<3 RE: Homemade Dog Toys I have a small Dog but even he can play with this toy. Take a plastic cup (The party kind or the kid kind for bigger dogs) and put a spoonful of peanut butter and a little bit of yogurt inside. Give it to your dog and they try to lick the cup clean. (06/29/2007) By Emily RE: Homemade Dog Toys This is a great one! Put some dog treats/food in the end of and old sock and watch your dog try to get it out! (08/10/2007) By dougalgirl RE: Homemade Dog Toys My Siberian husky loves to play with empty Gatorade bottles. (09/08/2007) By Siberian husky luvr RE: Homemade Dog Toys Get A empty water bottle and fill it with dog treats and when your dogs roll it food comes out! (09/22/2007) By Christy RE: Homemade Dog Toys Take 1 tennis ball and poke a hole in it fill it with dry food and your dog will roll it around for hours! P.S. If you want you can soak it in chicken/beef broth for 1 day and your dog will love it more!!! (12/18/2007) By Lily RE: Homemade Dog Toys Gunner loves his 3' of cheap bright green hose! The house water hose is black and he hasn't had a problem. (12/22/2007) By custompetcare Here is a little something: it's called "Peanut Pops". Instructions: Take a regular rawhide like the ones sold in stores, and take some peanut butter. Use an ice cube tray and fill it with peanut butter. Insert the rawhide in the middle of the peanut butter. Freeze overnight or until hard. These are best in summer when your dog is hot. NOTE: If your dog gets sick with peanut butter, use water. It is just as good. (02/24/2008) By Hattie RE: Homemade Dog Toys Take 2 5x7 sheets of fabric sew them together and stuff them then give it to your dog it will love it. (05/03/2008) By froboii RE: Homemade Dog Toys Freeze a water bottle in the freezer. My dog loves it! When it thaws, just freeze it again! P.S. May make floor a little wet. (05/21/2008) By SAlly RE: Homemade Dog Toys (submitted via email) Ham bones have been known to be brittle and break off in very sharp edges, not good for a dog. Ingested, they could cause permanent damage for the the sharp edges. I myself purchased a beef bone from a local store to find the same thing happen. I actually cut myself on sharp edge. needless to say it got pitched. Never give dogs pork bones, they shatter into very sharp pieces. Please think again regarding this practice. Thank you for reading. Louise (06/09/2008) By jess_admin RE: Homemade Dog Toys Remember anything you give as a toy is letting your dog know its ok to play with it. If you give socks, shoes and kids stuffed toys they will then see all as a play toy that they can take anytime. We have lost a few kids toys and shoes we wanted to keep as he didn't know the difference because we were giving puppy the old ones. My experience of stuffed toys is the stuffing all over the yard! And a lot of clean up. (08/04/2008) By Margaux Report Spam or Abuse
