To date our Yorkie, whom we named Mr. Belvedere has a truck load of toys as I bought a variety of toys to start him off (plush with and without squeakers, rope, rubber). At last count he has somewhere near 30 different kinds but he seems to play exclusively with Kong, Petstages, NylaBone and Puppy Builders (Hippo Mat & Pull n Play Puppy Gym). I've tried buying him other toys but he just doesn't seem interested in them, and most of the time I don't even have treats in the Kongs, he'll just bat it around the floor and follow it.
So my post is three-fold.
One) What's your yorkie's favorite toy/toy brand.
Two) I read somewhere that human baby toys, stuffed and rubber are a good alternative to dog toys. Anyone try it? I bought Mr. Belvedere a bunch of receiving blankets and baby blankets from Target, they're 30"x30" and 30"x40" and they're perfect for the inside of his crate, wrapping him when he's cold and putting on the floor when I give him a messy frozen Kong.
Three) I was wondering then about cat toys too. I know a lot of cat toys have catnip in them. I used to give cat toys to my Crested and he never ate the catnip (as far as I know) however Mr Belvedere is 15 pounds lighter than my Crested, anyone try cat toys?
The last time we went to Petsmart Mr. Belvedere had to be torn away from this
cat toy. I'd love to buy him more cat toys, however I wanted input from other Yorkie owners. I'll ask his vet too, the next time he goes in for his shots .
