Knick Knack Paddy Whack Dog Toys
Dogs carry their toys in their mouths. Wouldn’t it be better if the toys were made of natural, organic and safe fibers? You’ll find two options for each toy (Fetch and Bone)--a felted and nonfelted option, which are easy to adjust in size if your dog prefers something smaller or larger. If your Fido is a big chewer, go straight to the felted option, and felt the toy hard to prevent damage. If your dog is a dainty Fifi and doesn’t destroy her toys, the nonfelted option is for you. You might add a bell or a squeaker inside the stuffing if you’re sure it won’t be unsafe for your dog’s chewing habits.
As with any dog toy, watch for damage and mend or remove the toy so your dog won’t ingest stuffing or knitting. Bone is designed for those who enjoy carrying one around and chewing, and Fetch is for those with retrievers. (You know who you are!)
