I am looking for any ideas or good websites for affordable dog toys, I’ve got 3 Dogs, Cockerspaniel, poodle chihuahua mix, (10 lbs, 1 year.) Then i Have a min pin ( 2 years old, 6 pounds) And a 10 week golden Retriever.. My Boyfriend of nearly 4 years thought it would be a great idea to get a Golden Retriever since some AKC Golden Retirevers at his Tow Yard had puppies he suprised me and brought one home, Im absolutly inloveeee with her and I cant wait for to be able to go on my walks and hikes… However even though I Only work 3 hours a day 5 days a week I am trying to find things for all of them to do while im gone, I take them on a 30 minute walk before and after I get home and then like atleast 2 miles before we go to bed. My Dogs are my Life!! They have there own dresser for there dog toys and treats and sweaters (we have a cabin up in the mountians so the little ones love there sweaters during the winter) anyways. I know the Golden is Teething, and teething bad!!! I have come up with a few ideas that are affordable. My dogs get bored with there toys pretty quick so I am always buying or trying new idea’s.
1) putting two dog cookies together with peanut butter in between and freezing it
2) Soaking a clean cloth and putting it in the freezer…
3) Kongs
and alot more rubber toys…. i dont know just if you know a cheap pet website or know any dog treat/toys tricks Id love to hear them!
Thank you!!!
by the way to everyone that is talking shit… I CAN afford my dogs! & i guarentee my dogs are probably the happiest dogs in the world… I have only left them for one day/night and that was cause a good friend passed away and i couldnt bring them to the funeral… And they flipped out and tried to get out of my parents house and one actually jumped thru a window from seperation anxiety… SOOO to all the people who are saying i cant afford my dogs… you can **** Off ( = I can afford my dogs there all up to date on there shots, and are all fixed… I have my own pet sitting business on the side with over 60 + clients and never un unsatisfied client or pet! Soooo please save your Drama for your momma and go else where… I am just simply trying to find new ideas and more affordable things… Just cause I dont wanna spend 15 bucks on ANOTHER chew toy that gets old to them after a day or soooo that goes right into the dresser full of boring toys Doesnt mean I cant afford my dogs.
EWWW WHO SAYS REHOME YOUR DOGS! YA I AGREE IF YOU DONT HAVE THE TIME FOR THEM AND YOU CANT AFFORD THEM GET RID OF THEM… QUESTION FOR CLAUDIA… DO YOU THINK BOMBS DOGS ARENT HAPPY??? ANOTHER QUESTION… DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY DOGS GET PUT DOWN EVERYDAY??? I hate stupid people… SERIOUSLY…

frozen carrots
frozen unsalted broth (outside toy)
Be sure that the peanut butter you are using is natural and unsalted. No added sugar, hydrogenated oil, or other crap. Peanuts should be the only ingredients
Mix oatmeal, molasses, peanut butter, and any other left over doggie safe vegetable you have (chopped or pureed). Freeze it.
You can also talk with tennis clubs and tennis teachers about having them give their used tennis balls to you. Keep what you need and donate the remainder to a local shelter/rescue.
I assume that you still have the money to afford these dogs and vet care and training, so I won’t get into that.

Kong are definetly a good idea to keep them busy. You should also try hiding treats. Each morning i hide a few treats around the backyard where my dog stays. It keeps him busy because he looks around and gets excersise plus a reward at the end.

If you ever come across any Pedigree treats, they have always done my spaniels well,
The DentaStix are good for teething and keeping teeth healthy.

No dog toys are cheap, unless you get them from a shelter if they sell toys in your local one.
If you can’t afford your dogs then give them away.
This is what happens to people. They buy a dog, maybe even multiple dogs, and then can’t afford them, don’t want to give them up, and then spend forever trying to look for cheap things.
It’s not going to work. Sell them. Or don’t buy them new toys. Or just buy regular toys.
Give them paper to rip up if you want.

Raw frozen carrots,my dogs love them and chew them just like its a bone/rawhide..don’t use rawhides because they can expand in a dog’s stomach..a busy buddy dog toy from premier is really good too.its basically a ball with a bone on it and chewing discs,hard to explain,but its a great toy that lasts my APBT mix

If there is a Dollar Tree in your area, they carry dog toys for $1.
I just bought some very well-made dog Milk Bone dog toys at Walgreens for only $2 each.
Winco and Walmart carry some very inexpensive dog toys, as well.

Why not make their treats?
Here are a bunch of recipes, most are for healthy treats for canines:
