\"Winter<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh no! With snow on its way<\/a>, what\u2019s a dog owner to do? If you\u2019re wondering how to keep Fido happy indoors when it\u2019s a winter wonderland outdoors, we\u2019ve got some ideas. Check out our recommendations for doggie toys to keep your canine from becoming a couch potato (and be sure to see our tips for what to do if your dog happens to swallow a toy<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Tug-of-War Rope<\/h3>\n

While you can\u2019t arm wrestle your dog, you can still indulge his inner WWF hero. Grab a tug-of-war rope from your local pet store and allow him to show you his \u201cwrestling\u201d moves!<\/p>\n

Food Dispensing Toys<\/h3>\n

There are few things more exciting to a dog than a tasty treat<\/a>. Take advantage of that with a food dispensing toy. Simply put a delectable dog-friendly snack inside and watch your dog happily make the most of his time trying to access it.<\/p>\n

Tennis Ball<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t have a lot of money to spend on new dog toys? No worries, we\u2019ve got you covered! A tennis ball is something you probably have on hand that delivers exceptional exercise benefits to your dog. Try throwing a tennis ball up a flight of stairs and letting your dog chase after it. Several rounds of this and he\u2019ll be ready for a lengthy siesta.<\/p>\n

“Flirt” Pole<\/h3>\n

A flirt pole looks similar to a fishing rod but rather than hooking a worm to the end, the pole includes a dog-friendly fleece lure. This is great for dogs who love to chase animals. Even better? After 10 minutes of using a flirt pole, your dog will have experienced the equivalent of a 1-hour walk!<\/p>\n

Laser Pointer<\/h3>\n

Most often, laser pointers are recommended for cat owners. However, dogs love them too! You can provide your dog with hours of fun-filled entertainment by merely moving the red dot around the room.<\/p>\n

Wintertime often means that dogs get less exercise, making them more prone to obesity, boredom, and destructive behaviors. But you can do a lot to ward off your dog\u2019s apathy by trying any one of these great toy ideas\u2014they\u2019ll keep your dog happy and active throughout the long winter months<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
