Baby toys??
 

I was just wondering if anyone uses baby toys for their yorkies?? I don't mean the water filled teethers or anything, but the solid teething toys?? Heck I think baby toys are cheaper than dog toys. I know I have a TON of baby toys from my grandson....any thoughts???

i do, ricky loves them :)

I do... we have a "giggle puppy" that makes noise when moved. We are on our third one-- my big guys (shih tuz) love them too!!!

You are right about being less expensive. I bought my first xpen from toys r us. It was the very same one as at the pet store except it had pictures of dogs instead of babies and was at least 1/3 less!!!
People are willing to spend more on dogs than babies????

Same thing here with the x-pen. I was checking out the used consignment also when I had to extend mine, but most stores said the used x-pen's go fast. Funny how the baby ones were s much cheaper. I did my price comparison at Walmart. Same thing there. It was so much cheaper in the baby department than the pet department. Same exact thing except one had a dog in the pen and one had a baby in the picture. Same living room scene also. LOL
The toys I purchased are usually the baby toys also. I look for
non-rubber that can be chewed away. I found one that looks like a stuff animal with teething rings on it, that one works real good. Its comes in different animals, Jacks has a litte giraffe and the rings are around the neck. He loves it. They have a lady bug (same brand) I had to cut the rings off of that because they were able to bit the rings rubber parts off.
I have had to throw some away because they were able to bit the rubber part off not durable enough for dogs so it has been a learning curb as to what baby toys will work. Oh and no stuffed animal with eyes that are not painted on. My two like to pull the eye-balls out. Whats up with that? LOL

I'd be extremely careful with the baby toys you choose to give your pup. Some toys intended for a baby are filled with a silica material that if ingested will swell in a pups stomach. :eek:

My girls favorite baby thing to play with was a play mat. Washable and you can use the toys it came with or put your own. I even attached it to Tia Iris Playpen to keep her busy when she was quarantined with ringworm (like a mobile). Tia is too tall for it now, but it's still perfect for Ally. This is Tia sleeping on it as a baby and then when she was about 7 months.

Used for about $5

Almost all Zivas toys are baby toys from yardsales- 4 for $1!
I put them in a laundry bag and throw in the washer, they are very sturdy, squeakers or rattles are sewn into extra little pockets inside, I sort thru them every week and trim or unstuff or throw away as necessary. The krinkle ones are her favorite!

It is time to bring out the baby toys and see which are appropriate for the puppies!!!!

good point.. the sharp puppy teeth would not be good with that type of toy

Absolutely great point!!!!! No filled toys for sure!!!!!

pet stages worked for presto!!

pet stages are a favorite in this house!

I am thinking to start carrying pet stages at diva puppy :)

Too cute:D

Awwwww such a cute picture!!!! I love it!!!!!!

You have a nice toy for your pet which also reflects the taste and the love with your pet.I think you should also tell us that where did you have that .

My furbuts love the little two dollar hand squeaker toys from Wallyworld They are a good size for them to carry around and they don't have eyes that can be chewed out. Mine have several different ones. Wal-mart has them in the baby section.

I ve been looking for these playmates when I go to yard sells but have had no luck.

Vulli chew toys nontoxic natural rubber & they squeak!
