These toys typically have a built-in squeaker that emits a high-pitched noise when squeezed or bitten. Dogs are attracted to the sound because it mimics the squeaking of small prey animals, triggering their natural hunting instincts and providing them with mental and physical stimulation.
Squeaky toys come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, including plush, rubber, and vinyl. They can range from simple designs like balls and bones to more elaborate ones like animals or cartoon characters.
However, it's essential to supervise your dog while they play with squeaky toys to ensure they don't ingest any small parts or swallow the squeaker, which can pose a choking hazard.
Regularly inspecting the toys for signs of wear and tear and replacing them when necessary is also crucial for your dog's safety.
