“Want your pup to join in on the feast this Christmas? Of course, certain human foods can be bad for your dog. Here is a great alternative to have your dog feast with you! Try adding canned chicken, canned tuna or cook up a fried egg to your dogs meal over the holidays. Be sure to pick the cans that have the chicken or tuna in water and if possible reduced or no sodium.
Sarah Perry – Denver North Trainer
“I recommend the durable Kong Frisbee. I grew up playing Frisbee with my dog and watching her jumping magic was beyond entertaining. Prolong the fun by having a Frisbee that is durable and can withstand your pups brilliant bite. ‘Made with durable KONG Classic rubber, the Flyer won’t hurt a dogs teeth during fun games of fetch and catch.’”

“I’d have to go with every dog’s favorite – the Kong Holiday Wubba Rope Tug Toy. Good for fetching, thrashing, flossing and good ol’ fashioned tug-o-war-ing. As an owner of 3 dogs, it’s nice to have a toy that all of the boys can tug on all at once. AND IT SQUEAKS!”

“I’m going to recommend toys with no stuffing, like the ZippyPaws Skinny Peltz No Stuffing Squeaky Plush Dog Toys. I have found the last longer, they are easy to wash and they are not expensive.”

“Take it from me, that has a dog with a crazy high ball drive, and loves to destroy any toy I seem to get him within a matter or hours not days. The Grreat Choice Geode Tennis Ball Dog Toy is a great durable and surprisingly affordable toy that can keep your dog going for hours, and can stand up to the worst toy monsters!”

“The Foobler is an automatic self-reloading puzzle feeder that delivers food for up to 9 hours. It’s a great product for people that need to leave their pups for an extended period of time. It’s a smart feeder for dogs that keep them engaged mentally and physically throughout the day. It’s difficult to destroy and is an affordable toy that will provide your pup with fun for a long time!”
