Toys are more than just a little fun for your pet. They prevent them from getting bored and causing trouble in your home, such as scratching furniture or digging up your garden. Providing your pets with the right chew and play items can help keep them excited, entertained, happy, and healthy.
There are tons of pet toys to choose from on the market, but dog toys that are safe, non-toxic, and provide physical exercise, mental stimulation, social interaction, and other health benefits are generally best for pets.
Start by cleaning dry, hardened debris and dirt from hard toys with a brush. Then wash your dog's toys with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. You can also disinfect toys with bleach diluted in water. Make sure your dog's toys are completely dry before letting your dog play with them.
Plush toys can easily harbor mold and bacteria. To keep them clean, brush off any dry dirt before sterilizing them in a dishwasher (if you have one). Place the toys on the top rack and run the machine on the heat cycle using very hot water and strong water pressure to clean. If you don't have a dishwasher, wash them in your washing machine on the hot cycle. Then let the stuffed toy air dry.
