BUYING A PUG TOY QUICK TIPS
ACTIVITY LEVELS: Keep in mind your pugs activity levels. A toy like a frisbee might not be as good for a pug with breathing problems, while a nice pull toy will do a better job keeping your pug busy.
FOOD MOTIVATED: Pugs are usually very food motivated, so toys that involve food are always a win. Try IQ puzzles and kongs that you can add a delicious snack to the play time toy.
SAFETY: make sure that whatever toy you buy is made out of dog safe materials.
OBSERVATION: keep an eye on your pug while they are playing. This is important when playing with plastic toys like kongs or squeaky toys. If your pug destroys the toy they can swallow some dangerous bits!
SIZE: Buy toys of appropriate size. If you have a tiny toy pug, don’t get them the king sized kong toy.
