Remy is teething and he loves to play and chew. We have been fortunate to only have a few non-toy casualties (Steve’s flip flop, an extension cord and a plastic dog dish). I watch him very closely – he is so much like having a baby again. The only real difference is that we don’t have sleepless nights and I don’t have to haul him around in a car seat.
Remy loves to play with rope toys but his absolute favorite toy is this $5 football from Foster and Smith. The Soft Flex Balls are extremely durable, they are puncture resistant and they are easy for both Remy and Emma to carry in their mouths. When I bought this football I also bough a blue swirly ball that is no longer on the website. Our blue swirly ball has disappeared – I suspect the kids lobbed it over our fence and forgot about it. Bummer!
I highly recommend getting a Soft Flex Ball or two for your dogs. I plan to buy the Bumpy Ball with my next Foster & Smith order.
I’m glad he likes it so much. Does it get easily torn apart? I’d like to get something like that for my parent’s schnauzer but he shreds stuff animals (dog toy ones), soft balls, he even unknotted the rope! He has a rubber tire he hasn’t broken yet but I’m sure he’s working on it behind my back.
I read once that chewing is good for a dogs teeth but I am not sure if that is true or not.
Ann,
I bought our football in August and it is like new. It is a soft, thick, durable rubber and I can’t imagine they’ll ever tear it apart. Remy is teething and he chews and chews on it but the ball doesn’t show any wear. I think rubber is great for heavy chewers because it is so durable. We have definitely gotten our money’s worth out of this football – it’s a bargain at $5. I would give it a try. Our dogs love rope toys too. Pet Supplies Delivered has great prices on rope toys – they also offer a 20% discount for first time customers. Their website it http://www.omahavaccine.com/
I’ll have to look into that especially if it’s softer. Sage is 11 but still likes to play – but his version of fetch is you throw its at him (under or over handed). We all feel guilty chucking hard toys at him even under handed, but if we don’t he will take the toy, not bring it back, and go sulk! Normal fetch just doesn’t fly with him – so a toy like that football would be amazing!
