It’s the gift giving season and you may be thinking about what to get your dog this year. Even if you aren’t thinking about getting your dog a toy, you may find yourself reconsidering after you see some of these entertaining items.
While dog toys have made progress over the last few decades and have become more advanced they don’t always do the trick. The simple truth is that dogs are easy to please and they don’t really care what we give them as long as they can sniff it, chew it, lick it, play with it, and/or eat it. Just ask the dog who is carrying around an empty soda bottle as a prize possession. Or ask my dogs who won’t put in the time required to figure out how to get a treat out of a Kong. No, it’s not the dogs who want the latest and greatest toys; it’s us, their owners. We get bored with having the same options to buy for our dogs. Well, I’m not here to tell you about an amazing new toy that will change your life, but here are some old toy ideas with a new spin to help you have a jolly holiday season.
Humunga Tongue™ and Humunga Stache™ put a spin on the traditional dog ball. These products are a non-toxic rubber ball with a tongue or mustache molded to it. When the dog picks up the ball he has a ridiculous mustache or rubber tongue hanging out. These balls not only give comic relief while you watch your dog carry them around, but they provide your dog with hours of fun trying to catch a ball as it bounces erratically. It’s a win win! You can also try the Humunga lips™ or Humunga Stache and Beard™ for an additional good time. All of these Humunga products can be found on Moodypet.com starting at $12 for one or $10 each when you buy 2 or more.
Gold’s Gym Dumbbells are now available for dogs! Have you ever thought about how great your work out was and how great it would be if your dogs could get the same workout? Well now he can with his very own set of dumbbells at home. These tough rubber chew toys come in two sizes and work great for body builder dogs or dogs who just want to look tough. These rubber dumbbells can be found at Petedge.com (starting at $5) or on Amazon.com (starting at $13). 
Do you ever feel like your dog has had a rough day and could use a nice cold drink to relax with? Well, it’s possible without animal services knocking down your door. Doggie drink toys are available (these are just a toy, no actual alcohol is in them) in your favorite brand such as Heini-Sniffin, Cataroma Extra, Crispaw, Dog Perignon, and Barkardi (to name just a few). These witty toys come as a rubber squeaky or soft plush toy to accommodate your dogs chewing pleasure. You can find these and more Silly Squeakers™ at VIPproducts.com and similar plush toys at badasspetz.com, with prices ranging from $10 - $14.
Even though you can’t afford the latest in high fashion, designer name accessories doesn’t mean your dog can’t. Pawda Italy, Bark Jacobs, Chewy Vuitton, Gucchewi, Dogior, Sniffany & Co., Chewnel #5, and Jimmy Chew; you name it, your fashionista dog can have it. And she can pay for it with her very own Muttster card. Well, her Muttster card might be rejected but, lucky for you, these doggie designers won’t bust your budget. These fabulous plush toys and more can be found at Tailsinthecity.com for $10 - $15.
Maybe this year you have to buy your dog something he actually needs, like a new I.D. tag. Well there is no reason you should limit your options to the machine at the pet store. There are so many unique options out there; you are bound to find one that fits your dog’s personality. For example, you can give your dog his very own driver’s license this year. Now he can run errands for you while you relax at home! (Well, the dog can’t actually drive but his I.D. will still make him look cool). Not interested in a driver’s license? These fun photo tags will put your dog’s mug shot on money, an FBI badge, an Area 51 badge and more! Check out ID4pets.com for some great alternatives to the same ol’ dog tag with prices ranging from $12 - $27.
