Why toys for the dog?
You can use toys for different situations. For example, to keep your dog busy when you go to work. With dog toys he has entertainment and passes the time until you are back and take care of him.
In addition, toys for dogs also come in handy during training. With fetch toys you promote the movement of your faithful friend. Other variants are tricky and still others serve as chewing toys for dental hygiene. Therefore, it is practical to have different toys in the house.
From when dog toys?
If you have decided on a puppy, you can gradually give him toys from about half a year. But don't just put the toy down to a dog, no matter what age he is. Show him what he can do with it.
Tip: Keep an eye on him, because that's how you find out what your dog likes and doesn't like.
If your puppy won't touch the toy, give him some more time. That doesn't necessarily mean he's rejecting it yet. Maybe it's still too early for him.
But don't always let your dog touch his toy. Use it consciously in education or give it to him when no one has time for him. If your pet gets to his toy at any time, it will eventually become boring and the effect will be lost.

Quality is important!
Pay attention to the size of the dog toy. Because most dogs love to chew on their toys. Parts that are too small could be swallowed. In addition, they should always be made of sturdy, safe and tested materials. If plastic cannot withstand a strong bite, it is unsuitable. Small splinters and sharp edges could hurt your dog's mouth, and there is a risk that he will swallow pieces of it.
Requirements for dog toys:
- suitable for the size of the dog
- rather a little bigger than too small
- tested materials
- robust and safe
- Cuddly toys for dogs (no cuddly toys for humans)
That is why dogs love cuddly toys
It's not just children who enjoy cuddly toys. Some dogs also have a box full of stuffed animals to cuddle. They can relax your four-legged friend and give him nice hours.
Cuddly toys for dogs are versatile. If your dog loves to play with the soft plushies, you can use it for training - for example, retrieving. But the soft toy can also be used as a reward, for example as a substitute for treats. If he does something right, then reward him by giving him the cuddly toy and playing with him.
Larger stuffed animals are wonderful for puppies and sensitive or anxious dogs. These can lie in their dog bed to snuggle. After all, cuddling relieves stress.
Almost all SABRO play animals are exclusively designed and make a wonderful gift for your dog and likewise for your friends' dogs.
