Toys and Games
She’s 5 months old. We already have things like stuffed animals, a tug rope, a sqeaky ball, a squeaky cat shaped ball, a puppy kong, a kong bone, an octapus for tugging, tennis balls, a sanitized bone, another rubber bone tethered with ropes for tug and chewing, and some other miscellaneous stuff.
She used to have this little squeaky lamb toy from the AKC.
What are some unique and interesting toys that I can buy for my puppy/

Okay get rid of anything she can tear apart or make sure you are supervising while she plays with soft toys!!!!
Watch the tennis balls as green fur can clog up inside… but great for supervised play.
My goldens absoulute fav (and it is FUN at night) is a hard red ball with FLASHING LIGHT in it that is activated by motion. He will carry it around adn teh red glows through his cheek!!!!!
Second fav is a round ball with statosphere hard rubber rings around it… makes noise when you throw it… loves the thing.
My store may not hve the flashing ball you cna check for pricing or just to see. I know our Petsmart has it but can’t remember price. good luck.
Kong makes great toys in all shapes, sizes and strengths of rubber. Just read the packaging to know which size & type of rubber is appropriate for your pup. As she grows, you will need to replace the toys with size appropriate ones.
Kongs are a little more expensive, but are practically indestructible, which is really important when it comes to mid-large sized breeds that are capable of chewing through almost anything. My staffie/shepherd mix still has the very first Kong I ever bought her (4 years ago), completely intact, and she is a chewing machine. Most can be filled with treats of some kind, or even plain old peanut butter, which will keep them busy for hours. The shapes make games of fetch more interesting as well, as they will bounce unpredictably, making it more challenging for the dog to retrieve. My girls have gotten many hours of fun out of their Kongs… I know I would have had to replace a cheaper toy many times over, so it makes the extra up front cost well worth it in the long run.
we just take our dog to petco or petsmart and let the dog choose!!!! whatever she likes we buy!!! oh and i heard that you just have to be careful with the sstuffed animals that the dog doesnt chew out the stuffing and choke just fyi
Empty plastic Coke bottle will beat all the toys you have mentioned.
Try it. (it won’t cost you a dime)
My dog has a very unique stuffed bear. It’s really big so when my dog was born till now he sleeps on it. It’s very cute.

Any of the above that you mentioned are great, provided you play with him with the toys. Toys are no fun by themselves, that is why dogs resort to chewing things up. Play ball, play tug, throw the octopus. Have fun with your dog !!!!!
A Rubber Ducky. I’m serious!!!
I think you should get a chew toy. Pups like to chew ALOT! Or get a ball because they like to play catch.
She has ALOT of toys, i think you already have like everything… You dont want to spoil your dog with toys, or then shell never be exited when she gets a new one! Id take some of them away, and give her 1 every 1-3 months. Then shell be exited when she gets a new toy, instead of just thinking ”Great. Another toy. I wonder what ill get tomorrow/ next week.)

i recommend, since it is a puppy, chew toys like balls, but the ones that are really soft because they are developing teeth, they will like to bite a lot of things. but the soft chew toys would really help. AND DO NOT GIVE RAW HIDE BONE THINGY UNTIL SHE IS ONE YEARS OLD. IT MAKES DOGS HAVE DIARRHEA.
I think that you pretty much havce it covered. There isn’t much else you can do for her. I can suggest though, making her own toy. For example, think of all of her favorite toys and such and combine them into a super doggy toy. For example, if she really loves dog treats, rawhide bones and squeaky toys. But some dogs treats and a squeaker in the rawhide bone. Remember, BE CREATIVE!! (or you can always get her her own puppy
)
dear lord, sounds like you have a lot! lol
what i do with my boxer is we take him to the store and let him pick his own! he’ll sniff around and we buy the one he tries to pull off the shelf!
do be careful with bones, my vet warned us that they can splinter and cause blockages. nylabones or rawhides are fine though!
they have these things and its like a rubber ballish kinda thing sort of a *hard to explain shape* but i have one for my dog and he is a black lab, 7 years old but he could pass as a puppy!
You buy like dog treats and there is like a whole in the center or little ridges which u can put the treats in and the dog tries to eat them out
its pretty cool and my dog is obsessed with it!
but thats basically all i can recommend kuz u sound pretty good to go
Sounds like she has more toys than she could possibly play with in a day!
You can look into things like treat balls, or toys that make sounds.
Or… if you’re looking for ways to stimulate your pup, Train! Train train train! teach it tricks and obedience! It’s fun for everyone!
She’s spoiled enough!!!!!
She doesn’t need more toys than what you already got her, she’ll be spoiled rotten…….
Pretty soon she’ll want fancy bowls for her food. (unless you already got that, too.)
We buy or beagle a Kong, you put the treat in the hole and they bite the kong to get the treat out.
those like little black tires. they make marks on your walls sometimes but my puppy rips everything up and those last a long time
they love balls like most puppies but since its young probably a chew toy for the teething
I know there are treat balls that you fill with treats, close the opening, and then the dog will push it around and the kibbles come out.
Visit PetCo or PetSmart to find great toys – they have isles upon isles of toys!
Make sure you give the puppy soft toys, nothing hard until 8 months so it learn not to chew your sofa or nice leather shoes.
I have 6 dogs and I learned the hard way.
