My dog Abby is quite playful, what toys would be the best for dogs like her? what toys do dogs prefer and like to play with?
Chewing on toys is a great activity for dogs to help them burn off energy, keep them occupied, and help keep them from chewing on other things in the house that are inappropriate for them to chew on. Dogs have individual preferences for the types of toys they chew on, so it may take a bit of experimenting to find out what Abby likes. Rope toys, soft toys and rubber chew toys are all good options. There are even puzzle toys where you can hide food and that will keep your pup busy trying to get the food out. Avoid any toys that are too hard- you should be able to easily dent the surface with a fingernail, as anything harder than that could lead to fracturing of the teeth. Avoid offering bones, antler, and similar objects for this reason. Always supervise play, and if you notice your dog trying to eat any pieces of the toys, take them away, as the pieces could cause a blockage of the intestines that could lead to the need for surgery to remove it.

I’m at a loss for what else to offer my dog. Because he is in his crate while I’m at work, I keep him out whenever I am home. Including when we go to bed. When we go to bed, I keep him in my bedroom. Lately he has been chewing on so many things that
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Bad Sam! Can you leash him to the foot of your bed so he can't wander off to other things? If that doesn't work or isn't possible I think it is fine and not cruel to crate him at night. He should be sleeping anyway and it will also keep HIM and your stuff safe. Good luck!

She is almost 2 years old and continues to chew many things - fabric like sheets and pillow cases, paper towels, underwear, etc.. She has chew toys which she loves as well, but we don't know how to stop her chewing these things. Is there a spray or
You can try Bitter Apple spray, but I cannot guarantee that it won't stain fabrics, so you may want to spot test it first. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/grannicks-bitter-apple?rrec=true Specifically regarding underwear, socks, etc; it is very important to get all family members to use a covered hamper so that these items are not lying around. Socks and underwear are VERY common causes of intestinal obstructions that require surgery. I understand your reservations about using a crate, however, most dogs actually like a crate, when its introduced as a safe recluse for the dog, and never as a punishment. Initially when introducing a crate, you don't close the dog in, rather get them comfortable with it as a nice place to rest. Check out the following article for good tips in introducing a crate. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-crate-train-your-puppy-or-older-dog/ Thank you fro using Boop by Petco!

My dog doesn’t play with any toys. She sniffs and then leaves them alone. How can I make her enjoy them more and actually want to play instead of sleeping all day?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is very dependent on the dogs in terms of how much they enjoy playing with toys. Some dogs just do not enjoy that and will not play with them as much. You can try to get other toys to see if Ginger becomes interested but ultimately she may decide to not use them and that is not necessarily an issue. Have a good night!
