When getting a toy for your beagle you should be looking for a toy that offers many benefits, physical and intellectual. Toys are also a great way for you to build a stronger bond with your beagle.
What makes a dog toy good?
When buying a dog toy for your beagle you should be looking for something interactive, durable and safe. A safe dog toy will be soft enough to chew without it damaging your pet’s teeth. You should also be checking that the toy does not contain any materials that may be toxic. The toy needs to be durable enough that no parts can be chewed off. If any parts are chewed off there is risk of your beagle swallowing it and choking on it.
Kong
A Kong is a great toy for keeping your beagle entertained for a long period of time. Kongs are a rubber toy that resembles a snowman like structure. These are a great toy that every dog owner needs; it provides mental and physical stimulation for your beagle.
There are three main uses for this toy. One of the uses would be to use the kong as a fetch toy. Because of the irregular shape this toy provides a very irregular bounce that keeps your beagle active.
The second use would be to use it as a chew toy. Kongs are made of a thick rubber material that will withstand your beagle’s chewing.
The third and most unique use is as a food bowl. This toy has a small hole on the bottom that can be filled with your beagles’ favourite foods. The hollow inside of the toy allows you to fit a lot of food within it. Once filled with food it provides a puzzle for your beagle as they work out how to remove the content. When filling the kong it is best to fill it with a variety of their favourite snacks as it keeps the challenge interesting. You can fill a kong with anything from peanut butter to kibble or fruit.
