Zog the dragon 9inch Plush Soft Toy, Orange & Zog Gift Edition Board Book

Product Information

If your dog can’t be trusted not to chew on plushes, blankets, or cushions, you’re not alone—and you’re also not out of options. This little Bluetooth speaker uses sounds to soothe your anxious pup, but it isn’t heartbeats—it’s music. It plays 90 minutes of a dog-specific sound mix that you can put on repeat. The speaker can operate wirelessly for up to eight hours on a full charge. We reviewed the speaker and found it pretty intriguing. Plush dog toys with heartbeats are an increasingly popular tool in a pet parent’s anti-anxiety toolkit. Soft fur, a pulsing mechanical heartbeat, and a heated core replicate snuggling with a mother dog and litter mates, making them a strong choice for all kinds of stressful situations—including storms, crate training, and separation anxiety. Slow feeders: Slow feeders have some sort of obstacle that prevents your dog from inhaling her food. Snuffle mats: A type of slow feeder, these mats have strips of fabric that mimic grass in the wild, and you put your dog’s kibble or treats in between the fabric so your dog has to sniff them out. “Snuffle mats are a great way to enrich a dog throughout the day in addition to training with them,” Hartstein said.

Treat dispensers: When your dog plays with these toys, the toys will slowly release treats for her — which is definitely a reason for her to keep playing. Make sure your dog’s needs are taken care of with our selection of dog toys and grooming tools. From the bare basics and essentials like bowls and clippers to toys to keep them entertained, we’ve got everything you’ll need to keep your pooch healthy and happy.

We especially like that it’s rechargeable, though because it’s not sewn in, a little extra caution is required from pet parents. We recommend securing it somewhere your pup can’t access directly.

Dogs can easily get bored with their toys, so you’re probably looking for a few that will keep your pup interested for as long as possible.

Interactive dog toys are designed to keep your pup engaged for longer periods of time compared to your standard dog toy, which can come with a ton of mental benefits for her.

No matter what you choose, make sure you give your dog time to warm up to it, and try to show her how to use it if possible. “ The most important part is to TEACH a dog how to play with their toys,” Hartstein said.Dogs need to be fulfilled daily (just as you and I); interactive toys and food games help fulfill a dog and meet their needs,” Russell Hartstein, a certified dog behaviorist, trainer and founder of Fun Paw Care in Los Angeles, told The Dodo. KONGs are known as the gold standard of interactive dog toys. They’re super durable for tough chewers, and you can stuff a KONG with so many different treats, like dog biscuits, a frozen banana, dog-safe peanut butter or a mix of all three!
