Homemade Pet Toys

Keep a box in the closet or elsewhere for worn out socks and tee shirts, old pillowcases, and various other items that you can use to create homemade pet toys. Here's a few ideas to get you started:

• Tie socks together to make a pull toy.
• Put a squeaky toy inside of a sock to make it last longer with dogs that otherwise might quickly destroy the toy.
• Dogs love the crinkling sound of an empty plastic water bottle stuffed inside of a sock.
• Put catnip inside of a sock.
• Use old tee shirts, pillows, pillow cases, and shams to make a dog or cat bed.
• Make a ball out of crumpled paper for your cat to chase.

Pet toys can be expensive. Making them yourself is frugal and fun.
