Nowadays, online and offline pet stores provide plethora of choices, the idea is to pick wisely as per your pet’s need.

  1. What is the size of your pet?

The toys that are ideal for pups and kittens may not be ideal for a fully grown dog or cat. A cat toy or a dog toy should be appropriate for your pet’s current size, it shouldn’t be too big or too small for your pet. For example, a small squeaky toy for a fully grown German Shephard is a big No! It can be easily swallowed by the dog and become stuck in the throat.
