IQube Dog Toy by Kyjen Review & Giveaway

Anne — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 06:36:07 +0000

This little thing is my new favorite toy for the dogs. My dogs LOVE squeaky toys, especially squeaky balls (which just sounds weird by the way!) The IQube dog toy by the Kyjen Company makes them think and can entertain them for a long time. You hide the squeaky balls within the IQube and your dogs then have to figure out how to get to them. Fun stuff, I’m telling you! Here’s a little review and demo of the IQube:

One lucky reader will receive an IQube dog toy courtesy of the Kyjen Company. Leave a comment below and tell me about what you and your dogs did over Memorial Day weekend to enter to win the IQube. Please only one entry per person. Comments will be closed as of midnight on Friday, June 4th and I’ll announce the winner on Saturday, June 5th!

Chewed Slippers Plush Dog Toys

I’m not sure if I would actually use these for dog toys. I think they’re adorable! I’m partial to the chihuahua toy not only because I have two chihuahuas, but the toy is named “Kiki” and that’s the name of my friend, Emily’s Pomeranian (who is Zoey’s best friend)! Check out all the cuteness at Chewed Slippers.

Kyjen Company’s Tough Turtle Toy-And a Giveaway!

Anne — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:36:01 +0000

All three of my dogs love toys, but Stella gets the award for dog most obsessed with toys. I think it’s the Jack Russell Terrier in her-she needs to be both physically and mentally stimulated more than Zoey and Leroy do. I love finding “keep busy” toys to keep her occupied. Enter the Tough Turtle Puzzle toy by the Kyjen Company. The big turtle is soft, but the shell is made out of tougher material. The baby turtles have squeakers inside them and can be hidden within the turtle shell that is then closed with velcro. You show your dog that there are squeaker turtles inside the shell and then close it up. Then it’s a challenge for your dog to figure out how to get to the squeaky baby turtle toys.

Here are some pictures of Stella and Leroy trying to figure it out!

Stella has finally figured out how to get the little turtles out and squeak them. It’s nice though because it takes her awhile and it gets some of that mental energy out of her.

Kyjen wants your dog to try the Tough Turtle too! We will be giving one Tough Turtle away to a reader who comments below and tells us more about their dog/dogs. Good luck everyone! We will close the commenting down on Thursday, Oct. 8th at midnight and announce the winner Friday, Oct. 9th.

Would This Eco-Friendly Turtle Toy Survive?

Anne — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:57:44 +0000

Thanks to my friend Mickey Koch, I developed a love for collecting turtles back when I was in high school and college. I’ve stopped accumulating random turtle things to display and they are retired to a box in our basement (I guess my crafty husband negotiated this bit of language in our marriage contract), but for some reason I’m still drawn to turtle things.

Solution? I can get my dogs turtle toys to play with! I just discovered this great eco-friendly turtle toy that is made of recycled soda cans!

However I give it a 90% chance that my dogs would have a hole punctured in this thing within a matter of days. That should be the new standard for dog toy manufacturers – send a new product to my dogs and if it survives 48 hours you are ready for market.

Let it be known that our home is where plush toys go to die.

Dogs Love Underwear!

Is your dog a panty bandit? I will never forget when I first got Zoey and I discovered that she loved to sneak away to the dirty laundry. Yuck! Here’s a better thong to play with! (Thank goodness they came out with a thong dog toy and not an actual thong for dogs to wear!)
