How much Should You Pay for A Dog Toy?

Millions and millions of dollars are spent every year on dog toys, many of them not lasting more than a few hours once they get into the paws of our dogs.
The pet stores are filled with toys that capture our imagination but not necessarily our dogs.
How many of us remember seeing a child play with pots, pans, wooden spoons and tupperware? Well dogs are very similar. One of their favorite toys are empty plastic drink bottles. The cackling noise when a dog chomps on the bottle and the ability to experience the bottle with their mouths is pure enjoyment. Some smart entrepreneur designed a soft plush toy that can have a plastic water bottle inserted inside the skin. Sounded like a great idea but the dog really prefers the feel of the plastic in their mouth so, they tear the skin right off ruining the $12 toy!

The reality is a dog likes nothing better than a stick or even a clump of weed. Just like kids there is nothing better than a found treasure to a dogs way of thinking. Except maybe for a tennis ball!
