Louisiana Alligator with Sweet Potatoes Soft Chew Snacks by Think Dog

I stumbled across these treats in Homesense the other day (keep checking back for my other treat reviews!) and I was curious.
Opening the bag, the smell is quite strong. I can't really explain what it smells like (smokey, perhaps?) but it's not for people with sensitive noses. Both Abby and Hannah seems to really like these treats, and I like that they're very small. However, leaving these treats out in the open they tend to dry up (as most moist dog treats do).

If you live in the lower mainland of British Columbia, you can find this brand and their unique dog treats at Tisol!

Kyjen® Invincibles® Snake


Abby loves her new Invincibles® plush snake!
I've been searching for some 'indestructible' dog toys for Abby, since she loves to destroy stuffed animals and these toys have made many peoples 'tough dog toy' list. There are three loud squeakers in the body of the snake which she seems to like! We'll see how long this guy holds up to her teeth.

ChuckIt!® Fetch Games

If you've seen my photography blog, you'll know that Abby loves to fetch in the water!

Our favourite fetch toys are from ChuckIt!®
Along with normal tennis balls, they make great rubber balls that bounce extremely well as well as ones that float in the water, bounce erratically, glow and whistle!

They also have an Amphibious line of water toys, which is what we got Abby.
In the summer it is extremely important to keep your dogs as cool as possible, so we like to go to the dog beaches for exercise.

Check out Abby and Hannah at the beach on my blog at www.laurgrayy.blogspot.ca

Kong® Squeezz™ JELS

Here are some of Abby's favourite squeaky toys!

The Squeezz JEL toys are little colourful animal shaped hollow pieces of non-toxic material that bounce and are easy to squeak.

I wouldn't recommend these toys to heavy chewers, but if your dog loves to destroy plush toys to get the squeaker out, I think that these would be a great alternative because the whole toy squeaks!

The bottom eventually becomes unglued from Abby's excessive chewing, but I don't mind.
