9 Toys That Will Keep Your Pet Entertained While You’re Working

With many people now returning to the traditional office since the events of 2020 to 2021, there are more dogs that will be getting their first taste of time alone. This can be a worry for pet owners that want their dogs to be happy and entertained while they are away. Alternatively, you might still be working from home, and you might be concerned about how you can keep your pet occupied as you focus on beating those assignment deadlines or communicating with clients. 

Whatever your own situation right now, here are some of the toys that could most effectively keep your pet entertained during your working day. 

• Puzzle games

One of the best toys for intelligent dogs is a puzzle game. These usually contain treats that you put inside, and your dog has to find a way to get to them. The level of complexity and size differs depending on the product. You can usually buy dog products online from stores that will ship to you quickly. 

• Treat toys

These work in a similar way to puzzle toys, except that they are usually made from tough materials and are designed to be chewed and licked to get the treats out. Although they might not last as long as the puzzle toys, they will give your dog something to think about for a while, which will stop them from getting bored and chewing the furniture. 

• Pet cam with food dispenser

These types of gadgets are becoming more popular as pet owners want to see how their pets are doing during the day. The camera can be accessed remotely wherever you are, so you can see what your pet is up to. You can also trigger the food dispenser so that it will bring your pet to the camera or feed them at their usual time. 

• Automatic toy thrower

Some dogs can learn how to use an automatic toy thrower that will shoot a ball out and then the dog can bring it back and put it in the shoot. This might need some practice from the dog before they can use it regularly. 

• Garden toys

If your dog has access to the garden while you are out or busy working at home, then giving them some outdoor toys will excite them and wear them out so that they can sleep for a while. You should give them a selection to keep them busy. 

• Chew treats

If your dog likes to chew, then giving them some chewable treats will help them deal with the chewing urge. These are also usually good for their teeth, so you will be keeping them healthy at the same time as entertaining them.  

• Squeaky toys

Most dogs love to play with squeaky toys because of the interaction it gives them. You should buy a toy that is tough so that your dog can’t rip it to pieces quickly or eat it. 

• Treasure hunt

This is on a larger scale than just a chew toy. You can place toys filled with treats around the home and in the garden so that your dog has to sniff them out and find out how to eat them. 

• Swing rope

Some dogs love to swing from branches and ropes. If your dog likes to do this, then setting up a swing rope in your garden can keep them entertained for a long while and give them exercise. 

Conclusion

Keeping your dog entertained will not only stop them from getting bored, but also help keep your home tidy and mess-free.
