You take (scraps from another project) of fleece and cut a rectangle that is large enough to cut 2-3 inch fringe on the edged. Tie all the edges except one. Then stuff it with crinkly cellophane paper that comes off packages. Tie the last side. My sons two miniature dash hounds love them. They make enough noise and can be made a good size for them. Make sure if you just by "squeaky" toys that the squeaker will not come out. The dog and cat toys have them secured really well. I would think children's toys would too. Try the 99 cent store and Big Lots for animal toys for less expensive one (for all dogs and cats:) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Finding Toys for Tiny Dogs Post by mvb (12) | (04/21/2008) Profile | Blog! | Contact Hello, I save the little stuffed toys that my kids get in their happy meals. My Josie just loves them! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Finding Toys for Tiny Dogs Post By Rosalie (Guest Post) (04/21/2008) I have a 10 lb. Rat Terrier; I buy her small plushy squeak toys from the 99 cent store. She loves to hear them squeak when she plays with them. If they are out, I buy the soft cuddly baby toys also, but they do not squeak. From the baby toys, I remove the ribbons/buttons, etc. Enjoy your new dog.

I got it at Petsmart, and it is just the right size for her to "dominate". We spend hours throwing and fetching - it's her favorite thing - next to me, of course! As I recall, they come in 2 or 3 different sizes, so you should be able to find one that works.

But please use care when you choose the size & type of toys because my cat just endured an expensive major operation to remove a small foreign body from his intestines. At first I thought ingesting foreign objects that got stuck & required an operation to remove them was rare, until my vet told me they see between 3 to 5 pets a day that require this major operation. When I picked up my cat, Smokey from his overnight stay, The Vet said they had just removed a tiny Barbie football from a small dogs stomach & part of a Tennis Ball from a larger dogs. * When choosing toys for dogs & "pet-proofing" our homes, we need to think of them as "toddlers" that stick anything into their mouths, the good the bad & the ugly! I remember my dogs favorite toy was a tube sock!

I also buy small Beanie Baby type stuffed animals/toys. Check out the kids section and cat toy section of your local store. It's amazing the odd little things my dog will play with. lol Report Spam or Abuse
