If you want your pets to be happy, they need toys. A few good toys can help your pets stay entertained during the day. Toys don’t necessarily have to be expensive. You probably have a few great play things just lying around already. By giving your pet a few inexpensive toys, you may just help save your couch from being chewed up. Toys are great for pets and their owners alike.

Dogs love to chew on empty water bottles. They love the noise! These can make a great an inexpensive toy for your dog. Be aware that dogs will chew up the caps and will sometimes eat them, so it is wise to remove the cap and the label before giving this bottle to your pet. Always supervise your animals while they play with toys to make sure they are safe. Some companies even make animal covers that you can put a water bottle in. This is a cute way to let your dog enjoy a fun toy.

If you have an old ball of string lying around, it can make a great toy for your bored cat. They especially love it when you play with them. Try teasing them with a string. They love it when you dangle it over their heads or let them chase after it while you run around. Take a few minutes to play with your pets and quickly develop a closer relationship.

If you really want to enjoy some hilarious antics from your pets, pull out your laser light and let the entertainment ensue. You can readily find these little laser lights at most pet stores. Both cats and dogs love chasing after the pretty red light. Be careful when playing with your animals and a laser light; don’t ever shine the light directly into anyone’s eyes. Some pets even enjoy chasing around flashlight beams as well.

Another great way to play with your pet is to spend some time playing catch. Your pet will love spending time with you outdoors. Give a ball a throw and enjoy watching your dog chase it around. Don’t think that you need a specific dog ball. Anything you have, including an old tennis balls, will work great. Be careful and choose a ball that is a good size for your dog’s mouth and that won’t easily pop.
