Get ready to rock your dog’s world—and their sniffer—with irresistible Playology dog toys inspired by the science of scent and enhanced with the smells dogs crave. Playology knows that a dog’s nose is 10,000 times more powerful than a human nose. So they designed their toys to be 10,000 times more appealing than standard dog toys by embedding all-natural scents into each and every rugged, durable, tantalizing toy.
Shop Petco to find Playology toys made with Encapsiscent Technology and embedded with millions of microbeads containing the smells dogs love—beef, peanut butter, bacon and more—in classic and colorful shapes that squeak, bounce and tug. The more your dog plays, the more scent the toy will release.
Make playtime more fun, engaging and enticing with Playology toys, instead of relying on fattening treats. Heavy chewers will love Playology rope toys, made with specially-shaped Dri-Tech fibers that wick away slobber, much like performance athletic wear wicks away sweat. That means every tug-of-war yields tons of exciting scents for your dog and less slimy slobber for you. Win-win!
Playology bones are perfect for moderate or heavy chewers, featuring dual-level construction for a soft and chewy outside and a hard and durable inside. Chewers of all kinds will love to chase Playology balls upgraded with squeak, scent and extra durability.
We carry Playology dog toys in a range of sizes to fit every breed—and don’t forget that older dogs love scents, too. Playology Silver features toys specially designed for senior dogs. They’re available in the same great smell options as standard Playology toys. They’re made from softer materials to provide older dogs with more comfortable chewing so they can keep playing longer even as they—and their teeth—age.

Many dogs can be trained to run on a tread mill! This is commonly used for dogs who live in cold climates or have owners who are not able to tolerate cold weather. A trainer or behaviorist can help in the training but many people figure it out at home often with the help of guide books and videos. If Nyssa likes to play tug of war, purchase a tug toy and set aside 20 minutes a day to play with her. This is a good, dry/warm indoor activity! Many dogs don't mind playing ball in the snow or snow shoeing even! As long as conditions are safe and not icy, a good walk/jog or bike ride can be accomplished even in cold weather. Some people even ski with their dogs! If there is snow or rough terrain, she may need protection for her paws. Many cities now offer pools for dog swimming which can certainly tire them out. If Nyssa is good with other dogs and likes to play, doggie day care offers an indoor/dry option for her. Additionally, if you work long hours, websites such as Rover.com offer dog w

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! While not necessarily normal, this can certainly be seen during the winter months. If she is otherwise fine, I would not be too concerned about this. However, if she develops any other symptoms like decreased appetite or vomiting, have her evaluated then. Good luck!

Dogs can experience a phase where things they have not encountered previously can make them feel nervous or fearful. Teddy is just about at this age. I would advise exposing him to as many new experiences as you can while he is in this socialisation age. If he is fearful try gently positive reinforcement to help him feel safe and secure.

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. At temperatures like this, I would be concerned with having Teddy out for more than 5 minutes. I would recommend using the boots for his feet that you can find online or at a local pet store and dressing him in a doggy sweater as this will help reduce chance of hypothermia / damage to the skin from the cold. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and would be more than happy to help you further.

Hi and thanks for using Boop by Petco! Great question. There are many ice melt products that are safe for pets. Non-toxic and non-irritating. You can also buy booties for Wolverine which would protect his paws while he is outside. Some dogs won't wear these so it's going to be a trial and error. Also, you can rinse and wipe his paws off after he goes outside to remove any ice melt that he stepped on and remove any snow that is stuck to his paws or hair coat. Again, great question. Good luck with Wolverine this winter.
