What are the best interactive dog toys for boredom?
The best interactive dog toys for boredom are puzzle toys, treat-dispensing toys and dog strategy games that stimulate both mental and physical activity. Choose from a variety of special treat games, snuffle mats, lick mats, food puzzles and treat balls that challenge your pup to work for his reward. Plush hide-and-seek puzzles with smaller toys hidden inside are also a great way to hold your dog's interest. Interactive dog toys that involve play with you are another enriching way to combat doggie boredom. Try engaging your pup with tug and toss toys, fetch toys, dog games and more!
How often should I clean interactive dog toys?
You should clean interactive dog toys as often as necessary to keep them tidy and hygienic. Experts usually recommend cleaning dog toys, including interactive dog toys, once a week or so for good hygiene, but you will probably need to clean treat toys even more often. You should thoroughly clean any treat-dispensing toys that take wet food or soft treats like peanut butter as soon as your dog is done using them. Clean treat toys and puzzles used for dry food weekly, or clean after each use if you are worried about attracting pests.
