FAQs
What toys keep dogs busy when home alone?
Kong Classics stuffed with peanut butter, snuffle mats, and puzzle feeders provide 20–60 minutes of solo engagement.
Are automatic laser toys safe for cats?
Yes, when used in moderation. End each session with a physical toy the cat can catch to prevent frustration.
How often should I rotate my pet's toys?
Weekly. Keeping 3–4 toys out and rotating the rest keeps them novel and interesting — just like with children.
