Pet Toys for Playing
Nothing beats a new toy. But pets can be as particular about their playthings as you are about your shoes. These fun options
were the paws-down favorites.
Tennis-Ball Stick, $9
If your dog loves tennis balls but can't seem to catch them on the fly, try this fetch stick―an easy-to-chomp toy made of
tennis-ball material with a bonus squeaker inside.
To buy: Air Kong fetch stick, petsmart.com for stores.
Triangle Fetching Disc, $14
Forget the plain old Frisbee you got at the company picnic. Your discriminating pup will no doubt prefer this nylon-and-rubber
fetching toy. It's sturdy enough to stand up to outdoor play but easier on teeth and gums.

Rough Toy, $10
Made of recycled fire hoses, this tough toy is virtually indestructible. It even floats, so you can play fetch at the lake
or the beach. After a few sessions, toss it in the dishwasher.

Catnip Toys, $11 Each
Slip a bag of catnip into one of these leather toys and tie up the end. The scent will drive kitty bonkers, and you won't
have to follow her with the vacuum. The irresistible bells and strings make these a must-pounce.
