Pets are integral members of the family and it is the duty of the household to look after them. Like children, pets too love toys; and just as we prudently buy safe toys for our children, it is important that we, as responsible pet-owners, ensure that the toys we purchase for our pets are non-toxic and pet-friendly. The most reliable option would be to opt for toys that are ‘green’ and eco-friendly. This will be beneficial for the pet as well as the pet owner, who can be carefree while the pet is having a good time playing with his toys.
The indestructible Huck Ball
They say,there is nothing that could be considered ‘indestructible’ when it comes to the claws and teeth of a dog. That may be true, but here is something, which is nearly indestructible. The Huck ball arrives in orange, green and blue colors and is sure to become the favorite of any chewer. The very fact that the manufacturer has promised a replacement for any ball that is chewed up by the dog is proof enough about its quality and durability. The ball has been grooved and this provides an unpredictable bounce, which adds fun to the dogs play time.The same grooves also offer better grip for humans and dogs alike while holding the ball. Measuring 3.25 inches in diameter, the balls seem to occupy the pride of place among the various other Zogoflex toys which include the tug and chew bones too. The ball extends an easy way to train your dog and keep it occupied for hours on the end.
The Itch cat scratch-pad
Ask any cat-owner about the favorite pastime of his cat and chances are that almost everyone will state ‘scratching’ as one among the top activities. Every cat seems to be born with the ‘itch’ to scratch and this is partly instinct to hone and sharpen their claws. Square Cat Habitat has arrived with a solution that will not only ease the cat and the cat-owner’s tensions, but also provides an aesthetic decoration piece for the home. The Itch Scratch pads have been made from 100 percent bamboo. This bamboo base has removable carpet inserts. These are like carpeted tiles that fit neatly into the bamboo frame. Since these carpet inserts are available in a wide range of colors, they can be used to match the decor of any home. These pads look like graphic art pieces when not being used and occupy much less space than a traditional scratch post. The cat is bound to enjoy the thrill of scratching against it and the cat-owner is bound to heave a sigh of relief that the furniture is now safe.
The Hemp Dog-bone
The dream of any dog would be to get a bone on which it could chew on for hours on the end. Giving the dog a real bone can be a messy and smelly affair for the dog owners. A happy and super alternative is to make use of the synthetic bone made of hemp. The chewer has been made durable and strong to last through the severest of chewing and biting. It is dog-friendly too and has been filled with hypo-allergenics, which render it safer for your pet. A squeaker fitted inside will ensure hours of fun for the dog. The natural hemp cloth that covers the bone is 100 percent eco-friendly. This ‘bone’ chewing toy for the dog comes in three sizes – small, medium and large – and in four different colors – chocolate, pink, blue and key lime. For $9.95, this is a wonderful gift that will make your dog wag his tail in glee and excitement.
