The cheapest "toy" Taffy likes is an "empty plastic grocery
(He just loves their "sound" and the "light weight" of these bags.)
But, you the Owner must be careful!
You must Stay Right With Your Dog if he plays with any bag!! Taffy shakes bags very vigorously and runs happily around carrying them.
'BUT, when he finally jumps on one with his front paws and tries to pull on the bag with his teeth to start "tearing" it into pieces, THAT is when his bag gets taken away & put into the trash! (We switch over to an regular doggie toy, and off he goes finally playing with it instead.)
I do not want him swallowing any pieces if he tries 'shedding' a bag, whether it's plastic or paper. So, I can't let him "keep" these little bags. They are only a "play toy" for about 3-5 minutes. He really loves them for their novelty!
Hint** I also quickly Snip Off the two plastic Bag Handles with scissors before he ever gets the bag! Handles are thin, and I figure Taffy could rip off a piece. So, he only gets the 'main bag' to romp with on the floor.
Yes, I know there are "crinkly sounding toys". Taffy does have a "flat orange bear" that has a very crinkly-sounding body, but he still loves a "Light weight grocery bag"--just a couple of times every few months.
PLEASE: Remember to Always Supervise your dog with Any Toy! Snip-off the Thin Handles of any Bags. *Don't Leave the Pup Alone on the Floor with a Bag!
If YOU must Leave the Room to answer the phone or door, Take Away the Bag First! -- YipYap & Taffy
