Doggie’s Accessories

Dogs can’t clean their teeth like people do (unless assisted), so it’s important to do what is necessary to keep a dog’s teeth healthy and free from decay.  In the past, dogs kept their teeth clean through chewing bones, however, bones can have sharp edges, and if swallowed, can cause serious damage to a dog’s stomach and intestinal tract.  Instead of giving a dog a traditional bone for teeth cleaning, give them nylon dog toys.  Nylon is much safer than bone for a dog, even if swallowed.  There are also flavored nylon dog bones available that most dogs love to chew on.  There are some dog treats that can also help to clean a dog’s teeth.

When a dog is chewing a bone, whether nylon or not, it’s best to take it away from them after it is chewed down to a small size capable of being swallowed.  Even if it passes through their stomach without causing damage, there’s also the danger of the dog choking on the bone while trying to swallow it. 

Dogs love to play with plush dog toys and rope toys especially ones with a squeaker .  Your dog will enjoy the fun of pulling, rolling and chewing.The Squeakiespheres are plush and rope toys for dogs.   A circular combination of plush and rope that will send dogs into orbits of fun.   Cotton rope is great for chewing and tugging, and each plush ball has a squeaker inside.

Always get you dog a licenses and an ID tag.  We watch our dogs so they won’t get lost but things happen.  Our two small dogs escaped from their crate at a friends home in the country.  As careful as we had been we spent several hours looking for our two dogs.  The following day we found both of them.  An ID tag will help if someone else finds your stray puppy.

Play with your dog and provide him with plenty of toys.  Toys provide play time and several types of toys help with the health of your dog.    Nylon dog toys and interactive dog toys will also develop a dogs intelligence and puzzle-solving skills. Many toys help keep your dogs teeth clean as Fleecy Clean.  Fleecy Clean made with safe and non.toxic materials is gentle on a dog’s mouth while effectively wiping clean teeth and gums during play, reducing plaque buildup.

How do you celebrate Christmas with your pet?  Plush playtime toys are a staple dog toy and dog enjoy the time they play with plush dog toys.   Many plush toys contains a squeaker for added fun and interaction.

If your dog is constantly finding things in the house to chew on, whether it’s shoes, furniture, or clothing, it’s a good idea to find them a more appropriate alternative.  Rubber dog toys will deter chewing on other objects, and also strengthen your canine’s teeth and improve overall dental health.  If your pup still finds objects to chew on, there are a number of preventative techniques you can try.  One common solution is to purchase one of the sour tasting sprays designed to deter dogs from chewing on specific objects in the home.  If that doesn’t work, you can also try using a squirt gun or a sharp sound whenever the dog starts to chew that will let them know what they’re doing is wrong. 

In some cases dogs will be immune to all methods of deterrence, and at that point it’s wise to just keep important objects out of reach of their mouths and cut your losses. 

In the world, there may not be anything as cute as a new puppy–warm belly, wet nose, paws going in eight directions at once.  But those little fluffballs like to use their teeth!

Your chewing cutie will have his own preferences when it comes to favorite toys—some love rubber Kongs (which can hold food and treats, an extra bonus!), some love a squeaker.  Rubber or nylon dog toys are probably the best for chewing purposes—and dogs never really outgrow the need to chew and play!

Flexible rubber dog toys exercise their jaws and keep dogs entertained while  they clean teeth at the same time.  Dental chew toys made of hard rubber are very durable and  usually last longer than non dental toys.  Rubber dog toys with raised nubs and ridges help remove plaque and massage gums.

Bone shaped rubber dog toys are good for most chewers and the dental designed rubber toys are  an aid in cleaning the dog’s teeth as they massage their gums.  Rubber dental toys satisfy dog’s chewing instinct.  A dog can never have too many chew toys and dental toys provide exercise as they clean their teeth.

 Rubber dog toys are a great alternative to plush dog toys if your dog chews them to pieces quickly.  Rubber dog toys are a more durable toy and good for most chewers and be used as a throw or a tug toy.

Toss you puppy a rubber chicken and he will love to play a game of fetch.  Dogs will love playing with rubber toys especially with a squawking noise maker.  Just watch the look on your dogs face when he plays with a rubber chicken toy.  Rubber toys are great toys for small or large dogs.
