Episode The Reason Your Dog Destroys Every Toy in Minutes | Dog Enrichment
How many toys has your dog destroyed this month?
Toys that look tough on the shelf can be gone in minutes, and it’s not always because your dog is a power chewer. Cheap fillers, shapes that slide right into the back teeth, and materials that are too hard can all set a toy up to fail. This conversation with the founders of Soda Pup gets into what actually makes a toy last, why giving your dog approved things to chew and shred can cut down on damage elsewhere, and how to keep enrichment interesting for dogs who aren’t very food motivated.
You’ll hear:
• How certain shapes let dogs saw through a toy with their back teeth, and the simple design change that stops it • Why the softest material in their line holds up better than some of the hardest • How the lick mat decorating trend took off, and why so many people find it calming for themselves too • A free scatter feeding game for dogs who get excited about the hunt more than the food
Press play if your dog’s toy bin is mostly scraps by now.
