Cami’s Favorite Things May Edition
May has been a great month for Cami. She turned 1 on June 2 so all of May she got a ton of toys and treats! Here are some of the best things she love this month.
Dog Toys from Hartz: Tug Toy – I could not figure out why she was so obsessed then I realized this toy is bacon scented! Our Dura Play® brand is made even more fun and interactive with the Tug of Fun® line extension of toys. The ball’s tough latex shell and foam filling make for a desirable chew, while the sturdy rope running through the toy offers enjoyable hours of tugging and tossing. The Double Ring toy consists of a ball at the center and two rope loops that are easy to grasp on both ends of the toy. Owner and pet will enjoy a challenging game of tug! The toy is bacon-scented, too.
She also loves the duck toy too! This toy is so cute and very durable. Made from ballistic nylon, they are durable and made for strong play and chew. The rope adds interactive play value between owner and pet – they even float!
Twigo Pet Tag: This Love TAG is sooo cute! She loves wearing this tag to day care 🙂
Kick Fetch – I loved this toy at Petco and it was $30+ but I found it on Amazon for half the price!
