Can anyone recommend a product that keeps their furbabies occupied? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Darlene68 · 07-31-2009, 06:33 PM

I'm looking for a product/toy that will keep Bailey busy during times that I can't give him my full attention. Do any such product exist? There is nothing in my area, so I would have to purchase online. Thanks for any suggestions!

I give Apple a bully stick (Merricks), (that I buy at the little boutique store I buy her holistic food and other things) when I really need to get something done...They don't smell too wonderful, when they are new, but the furkids sure do love them!!!

Look at the thread Best Puzzle Toys for Yorkies There are quite a few discussed there.

A kitty! lol... Well she is the one that keeps Ranger occupied mostly, haha

BULLY STICKS!

I get mine from AMD on here. She has great prices and they don't smell at all!

rebeccag · 07-31-2009, 06:54 PM

Another fur baby...or a kid....LOL! Sorry, I had to...

Darlene68 · 07-31-2009, 07:04 PM

Thanks for the suggestions Everyone!..although I was looking for something simpler then a kitty or kid, lol..bully sticks more then likely

Don't know if you can get them in US but Alfie has a dried pigs ear quite regular, no smell just loads of fun for him, and good for the teeth, he never has bad breath or tartar.

Bully sticks and hide-a -squirrel tend to keep Marley entertained.. then I gave in a bought another furbutt to keep her company.. give it time.. you'll end up wanting another LoL It's not hard to take care of 2.. at least not for me, and they keep eachother entertained.. and I don't feel guilty if I just want to be lazy and watch TV instead of play.

keylargolady100 · 08-01-2009, 02:51 AM

The Bully sticks are great... but nothing like and other yorkie to keep the first one occupied!

Mommies! lol

Bully sticks are amazing! 99% of the time they will keep Jackson occupied. I try not to give them to him too much so that when he gets them, they're really special, and will keep him busy. Pig ears as well.

However, nothing keeps them more busy than another dog!

Darlene68 · 08-01-2009, 07:08 AM

I'd love to have another yorkie, but I am not even suppose to have Bailey in my apt! You can get away with it as long as the animals don't disturb the neighbors

I was going to purchase bully sticks previously, but I had read some thread about yorkies choking, Bailey is so small, and that really concerned me. I am not sure what a hide a squirrel is

I will have to check out pigs ears as well. Thanks all
