If you happen have a dog for a pet, then you know the importance of having dog toys around the house. Toys are necessary for your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
For instance, puppies who are teething need something to chew on, or else their gums and jaws become sore. Likewise, dogs need something to play with while you’re busy or at work — lest they become bored, get depressed (yes this is possible), or develop behavior problems.
