Our dogs love to play with us, but we also want to provide them interactive dog toys for playtime to help them build their own doggy interests, to help give them activities and fight boredom during the day.
We also give the dog toys or chews when we want some quiet time, like on nights we want to watch a movie, especially if they’re being rambunctious.
**Our list is full of our favorite items that are handpicked, tested and loved by us and our dogs. These suggested items may contain affiliate links which we receive a small commision that helps maintain our website and we appreciate you letting us be a part of your mouse family journey!

Foraging Dog Treats To Use With Fillable Toys
The treats we use to fill their mats and toys are a mix of various dried treats, natural peanut butter, treats we get from Barkbox, sometimes their food and other treats that include:
- freeze-dried chicken bites by PureBites
- dried cow liver pieces from @whatsinthebowlpetshop
- duck jerky or beef sausage pieces from Milos Kitchen. These can be high in sodium so use sparingly
- Pupperoni bits (one of their favorite treats) from Pup-Peroni. These treats are also high in sodium and should be given only if you see fit or discussed with a vet and is ok to give your dog.
- Raw freeze-dried dog treats by Lizzylovesthedogs.com (beef, chicken & cheddar mixes)
Kong rubber refillable chew toy
Kong Easy Treat refillable in liver (used by our veterinarian)
