NaturalPetWarehouse.com is excited to provide pets with natural and fun toys by Lollycadoodle. They produce beautiful toys that are made with 100% felted wool. Each toy is handmade by artisans in Nepal at a fair-trade facility. Fair Trade agreements help provide workers with wages that can improve their quality of life and communities.

The process of felting wool is simple and has been used for centuries to produce a durable material. One of the main benefits of wool is that it is 100% digestible, which is beneficial if part of a toy in accidently ingested.

Below we will go into detail about our favorite Lollycadoodle toys and beds.

Wool Rings:

The Wool Rings are available in two sizes. Small has an approximately 6.5“diameter and the Large has an approximately 9“diameter. They are perfect to use for tugging, but are also great for tossing and games of fetch. A great benefit of the rings is that it gives you and Fido a great area to grip.

Wool Balls:

Each ball will provide much fun and excitement. They are solid and durable toys that can be rolled on the ground, tossed through the air, and are a favorite for fetch. The bright colors will be easy to spot on the ground and will help your dog see it soaring in the air. This is their most durable toy, as it cannot easily be chewed on by the back of the mouth.

Snakes:

While you may not enjoy the company of real snakes, their wool counterparts do not bite and will provide hours of fun. We love the snakes because of their unique shape that can bring great fun to tossing and tugging sessions. The snakes are available in two sizes, Small is approximately 18“ long and the Large is approximately 24“ long.

Infinity Tug:

Dogs that love to tug will enjoy the Infinity. This tug toy has two sections, one for your dog to hold, and one for your hand to grip. It is a fun design that is sure to provide great tugging fun!

Cat Cave:

Felines enjoy having a safe shelter to go and escape noise and commotion. The Cat Cave Bed is a beautiful hand-made piece of art that is made with wool, which naturally repels odors and dirt. Its unique look will look wonderful in many home decors and fits perfect in corners.

With warmer weather approaching most of the United States, we wanted to give some helpful ideas and tips on promoting fun and exercise for your dog this summer. You could stay in the air-conditioning all summer, but my bet is Fido would much rather get outside an do some activities with you!

#1. Take a walk
Taking a walk with your furry friends is not only a good source of exercise, but is also great bonding time. When the temperatures get hot, it may be a good idea to do early morning walks. Please remember that the pads on your pups feet can get burns from hot surfaces. If you do choose to walk during extreme temperatures, please provide your dog with protective foot wear.

#2 . Sprinkler Fun
While growing up, I remember my dad getting the yard sprinkler out to help cool us down and provide entertainment. The cool water was fun and refreshing to run through. Just as we enjoyed it as a children, our dogs also find it extremely fun to play fetch while running through a stream of water. This activity helps cool down dogs and provides refreshment.

#3. Go to the Beach or Lake
Playing fetch and relaxing by the water is a favorite hobby among dogs. Many canines enjoy jumping in the water to chase a stick or toy. Many dogs also enjoy to swim, which is a great form of exercise. This activity is perfect for cooling dogs down on a hot summer afternoon.

#4. Go Camping
When I was a child, my family would go camping on a regular basis. “Ginger” was our West Highland White Terrier, and she would come along on every trip. She loved exploring the woods and activities we would do as a family. Spending vacations with our furry friends is great for bonding and making memories you will always remember.

#5. Backyard Agility Fun
With some simple items you may have at your home, you can set-up a fun agility course. Some helpful items would be a child's play tunnel, PVC pipe, Flex Drain Pipe and Duct Tape. Do a Google search online for DIY Agility course and you will find many plans on how to create a budget friendly course that is fun and effective.
