How to pick the best toy for dogs based on 5 personality types
Published in Slideshow World
Playing with your pooch offers them a laundry list of benefits. It can help prevent premature aging, reverse obesity, maintain healthy bones, ease arthritis, help remove toxins, and improve metabolism and insulin health. It helps puppies develop motor skills and can cause hormone and brain changes that teach them how to handle stressors and unexpected situations.
Play also encourages mental stimulation and can help combat boredom and anxiety, releasing energy they could otherwise channel into bad habits like chewing on your favorite sneakers.
Toys are a necessity, not a luxury, for your four-legged friends. Determining which dog toy best satisfies your dog's play urges depends on their play habits, preferences, and temperament. Chew toys may be especially suited for dogs who love to gnaw on household items. Anxious dogs may prefer comfort toys like soft stuffies, and high-energy dogs may get excited by toys they can chase.
