Sadie loves a toy I got from the Vet's office. It is like the Kong wobbler, but a different shape. I have seen them at Concord Pets but can't remember the name off hand. It is a small blue odd shaped circle that you fill with treats or kibble and she bats it around the floor or gets up on the furniture and drops it, etc. She LOVES it. You can make it easy or difficult to get the kibble out. I like to make it a little hard so that she gets a lot of fun out of it. The vet told me you can also fill it with kibble, then seal the opening with peanut butter and put it in the freezer overnight for an added level of difficulty. They had me use this on Sadie as she was not eating right when I first got her, and they didn't want her to go into hypoglycemic shock. So this toy encourages her to eat because it is a lot of fun. She is a little piggy now. :-)
At puppy class they were showing us a lot of interactive toys that you can get at Pet's Mart. I don't live very close to one, so I haven't had the chance to check it out yet, but I would like to see when I get a chance. Sadie needs some mental stimulation, and mommy needs some quiet time. :-) |
