Plastic Bottle Treat Dispensing Toy
You will need a plastic water bottle, old fabric, a sock, scissors, and small dog treats for this DIY toy! First, cut up your fabric into one long strip of material. This can be an old shirt, pillowcase, or any other fabric you don’t need anymore. Then, begin feeding the strip of cloth into the mouth of the water bottle.
As you go, insert small treats in with the fabric. Lastly, leave a short end of the fabric sticking out of the mouth of the water bottle. Now, your dog has the fun challenge of pulling the fabric out of the bottle to dispense the yummy treats! Additionally, this DIY toy is a fantastic way to stimulate your canine’s brain!
T-Shirt Rope Toy
For this project, you will need some old T-shirts and scissors that no one wears anymore! First, cut the t-shirt into decently thick strips of fabric. Then, gather a group of the strips and tie them in a knot at one end. Next, braid the strips together and tie them into another knot once you reach the end. And that’s it! Let the fun begin!
Squeaky Toy
Do you have old squeaky toys that your companion has destroyed? Don’t throw them out just yet! First, retrieve the squeaker from old toys, insert them into socks, and tie off the end. Ta-da! A brand new toy for your pup to enjoy! Or, if you have old socks but no squeakers available, you can purchase these from Amazon for your furry friend!
Crinkle Toy
You will need an empty plastic water bottle and an old t-shirt or socks for this simple DIY toy. Then, insert the water bottle into the sock and tie off the end. Or, cut up the t-shirt and wrap and tie the bottle inside. Then, your pup will have a brand-new chew toy that makes those exciting crinkle sounds! Additionally, this is a great way to give an old shirt or socks a new life and entertain your canine companion.
