TOYS

hiya, as u all prob know by now im very new at this and am learning all the time.
i was jus wunderin wht shops are good for pet supplies in the uk.
i have currently got everything from pets at home,
if ne 1 has ne suggestions this wud b great, thanks

I just looked around all the local pet shops but I have found online shops to be far cheaper the majority of the time.

I bought most of my stuff either from pets at home, or ebay! The boomer ball and various hard toys came from ebay, the running egg came from another online site (can't remember which) and one or two things from various shows I've been to.

Same, I use the net or PAH to get most things, only thing I would say though is don't bother investing in epensive things unless you know they work because they don't last long

J-mart is ok for cheap toys.Tilly had a chicken leg to that lasted her months and still has her squeaky papers but she rarely plays with them nowadays.She was afraid of them when I first got them lol.would recommend these to be honest.

Polly has a liking for soft cuddly squeaky type toys as well as sqeaky plastic toys and we get them in pound shops for her, so far these "Cheapies" have outlived the P@H much more expensive ones She doesn't like Kongs or hard rubber type toys, she prefers sticks freshly cut from the garden or lumps of wood she steals from our log pile She also loves empty pop bottles with the tops left on with a few bits of kibble or small dog treats in, these keep her amused for hours.
She does have a hard rubber ball on a rope that she likes to play with but she only likes the one with the bell in it, the empty ones she gets bored with.
She is much more likely to raid the bathroom and zoom around with a loo roll or a tea towel out of the kitchen than a proper dog toy
She is teething like mad at the moment and freshly cut plum and pear sticks are her prefered teething toys, green wood doesn't have hard splinters she could get caught in her mouth and she has a great if messy time stripping the bark off of them before chewing them to a pulp, they are great for keeping her teeth clean too

ahh i c, i really wanna get jemini a soft teddy so she dnt miss her mates at the kennel too much,but shes prob gunna rip it up after seein the way she distroyed her tennis ball the other day.
i need to get her a kong for a bordom breaker when she gets left on her own,
not really sure wht else to get her in the way of toys yet......

yeah kongs are brillant i put mine in the freezer with chicken paste or peanut butter in then they lick them out for ages.
zogoflex doys are strong my molly has one of there balls that has lasted for ages

PAH and the net are my main places for toys too. Just remember though, she will literally destroy everything she gets her teeth into so don;t buy anything too fancy or expensive, it will be gone within days (or hours, or minutes!)

plutopets is ultra cheap for toys (not all staffie proof toys tho ) but imitation kongs summit like 89p and get cheaper the more u buy also vetsuk are very cheap, 10" boomer balls under £13

Wow, she must have been really going at it!! I'm gonna try some of those toy sites you recommended, a boomer ball for £13??? Bargain!

and if u order over £19 its free delivery so I figured the norm for boomer ball is £20 so mite as well get a kong toy too for same price

Yes she wanted that kong dead > but after what it cost i wasnt happy lol

We use pets at home & amazon, bought a boomer ball 10 inch one Sophie loves playing with it. Have to be careful with some of the toys at pets at home though 2 we bought lasted less than 10 minutes.

I use the net or p@h for most of mine although when the market is on i normally have a nosey at the things there as there normally alot cheaper, as theres no point spending a fortune!
