The Talk-To-Me Treat Ball is a durable plastic ball you can hide treats inside. It talks to your pet while your not at home.
The Bubble Buddy blows out a stream of flavored bubbles. Our test dogs love the sizzling bacon bubbles.
The Tire Biter is one of the best, non-toxic chew toys on the market, but Buddy's favorite is T-bone Steak. It's a plush toy with sound effects that actually smells like steak! Keep in mind that all plush toys can be torn apart. They should all be supervised, especially the T-bone, which has electronics inside.
This is the brand new Blue Kong, from the Kong company. It's got a radio-packed dye inside. If your dog accidentally swallows a piece, they can determine in a simple x-ray where it is in your dog's body! Great product, but it also helps with separation anxiety. Simply insert a treat in here and your dog gets to work through it. Keeps them busy while your at work.

Here are some other dog toy safety tips. Rubber is generally safer than hard plastic, which could fracture teeth.
Anything that is harder than the dog's tooth, itself, should not be given as a toy.
Read safety labels and inspect toys for sharp edges. Supervision is a must for all toys until dogs prove they will not be destructive. With a little caution and common sense, play time can be a rewarding experience.
