DUDE Dude is a 10 week old male boxer. He's really relaxed, not hyper at all, but not boring by any means. My 2 girls are in LOVE and won't leave him alone, even when he is passed out. His favorite spot is in our room beside his cage, over top of the air conditioning vent. Three of his favourite products are wubba kong, Pure Bites treats , tuff tugger ball on a rope. PRODUCT REVIEWS PUREBITES LIVER TREATS Only one ingredient, 100% pure beef liver or chicken breast. They are less then 10 calories and are 100% naturals well 100% digestible. They make the perfect training treat. You sked! A Q: A: EMMA KONG - KONG Kong wubba or snugga wubba is a fun and interactive toss and tug toy. Durable reinforced nylon fabric covers two rubber balls - a tennis ball on top and a squeaker ball beneath. The long tails make it easy to pick up and throw. Dogs love to squeak the WUBBA and shake the flapping tails back and forth. Available in Blue red and yellow. PUP TREADS Pup Treads are made of natural rubber and are a perfect dental aid for dogs and puppies. Pup Treads are tough, durable rubber that provides chewing enjoyment for hours. For even more fun, try placing your dog's favourite toys or treats inside the toy. Pup Treads are tough and durable enough even for aggressive chewers and teething pups. My puppy is chewing everything right now, what kind of toys do you have that will help? We actually have a large number of toys that are great for keeping your puppy occupied. I like to recommend the Kong to all puppy owners. You can stuff it with all kinds of treats including peanut butter, rollover, and canned food. In the summer I also recommend that you freeze the Kong with the treats inside, this will keep your puppy busy and happy for hours while your out of the house, watching a movie or need some quiet time. Another toy that we have is the Nylabone Teething Keys. The rubber is soft enough that it will not break their teeth and it's bacon flavored to keep them interested. So make sure you come to the store and turn that puppy into a "good" chewer. TIRED OF YOUR SMELLY GARBAGE? We pick up your stinky diapers, unwanted junk and declutter your space.
