What to give to a dog?
It’s wise to choose doggy presents based on their age and character.
While puppies love toys, older dogsare more likely to appreciate treats, or a soft bed to cushion their joints.
Some dogs are chewers, so toys won’t last more than a few hours, however, there are tough toys available specifically suited to dogs that chew.
If you’re buying treats as presents for someone else’s dog, make sure you inquire about the allergies first.
