Every dog owner I speak to loves to treat their pooch.
After all, our dog or puppy is one of the family and she deserves a little gift every now and again!

See the toys being put to the all important dog-test!

The Kong is the king of dog toys! You fill the Kong with treats and it will sit upright until it is pawed or knocked by a dogs nose and then your four legged friend will have hours of entertainment trying to get every last delicious morsel from inside the Kong.
The Kong is a terrific toy as it is virtually chew proof and will give a dog hours of fun. It can be a great distraction for when you are going out, and will keep their mind off the fact that you are leaving the house.
To make sure you don’t have a chubby mutt try holding back a third of their dry meal and filling the Kong with that. Your dog still gets all the fun from the Kong and you can be sure you are not overfeeding them.
The Kong is really tough and durable and can be popped in the dishwasher when its full of slobber! -
The Orbee Ball is meant to be indestructible, so if you have a pet who just loves to shred every gift they get within seconds you might like to try them with this ball.
It is actually quite soft so can be used for fun both inside and outside without too much fear of damage to your floors and walls. It is also scented which dogs just love.
The act of chewing is actually a stress reliever for dogs, so a toy like this which they can chew and chew for hours without destroying can hugely relax even the most tense dog. If you have a yapper then an Orbee ball might just be the solution you are looking for. -
The Orbee Raspberry is designed for small dogs and is a wonderful and durable chew toy for any little dog. The Raspberry is super tough – so if your little friend is a little fiend for chewing their toys to pieces in seconds then this could very well be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
I guarantee that it will always bring a smile to your face when you see you dog chewing on a giant raspberry!
You can fill this toy with treats to give your pal some extra fun or they can have just as much fun time by chewing away at this lovely little raspberry toy.
The toy is lightly fragranced with a minty smell which all dogs love and is dishwasher safe so you can give it a thorough cleaning every so often -
This toy is designed to stimulate your dogs brain and is a series of flaps, hiding holes, wheels and sliding disks where you can hide treats and let your dog’s mind go to work as they try and work out what to do to get at the treats!
The toy has three different challenges or games which you can choose from and each one will prove to you that you dog really is the cleverest on the block!
The Iquties toy is easy to clean and lightweight. With it’s compressed wood construction and finish it really does look stylish and will quickly become a favourite for both you and your dog. -
Nina Ottosson’s Dog Magic is a fun game for both you and your pet.
You hide some treats and they have to dislodge little bones to access the hidden treats, it is up to you whether you put a treat under all of the bones, under just a few, or even under just one. Your dog (or cat) will love trying to find the treat and using their nose to locate where it is hiding!
Like all great dog toys this is ultra strong, and practically chew, claw and slobber proof, and has anti-slip feet which means it wont be sliding all over your laminate! The toy is stylish and attractive and not too hard so your dog won’t get fed-up trying to ‘solve’ it!
All of these toys are small enough to fit in the storage compartment of your stroller so you can take them out for fun when you are out and about, and some could even be in the stroller with your dog so that they have something to keep them occupied on your travels!
