Venture away from an average pet supply store into the land of the designer pooch and you will find a very different standard of living. Here are ten of the most expensive items ever sold exclusively for dogs.

There are many classic toys that can be picked up at any pet shop. These includes materials for playing catch and other things that your dog can chase. Just seeing your pet run around trying to get something can be funny, and since most dogs can be easily trained to bring the toy back to you, enabling you to easily throw it again, means you do not even have to do much physical work to have fun. Of course, it is good to find active things to do so you yourself can become healthy as well, as you would not be doing your pet any favors by dying prematurely.

Dogs always like to grab on to and shake things, and that is why there is a variety of rubber and plush dog toys that can be easily picked up. It truly is fun to have your dog latch on to the toy and then have a mini tug-of-war with it. Even when you are not there, dogs sometimes like to just pick up things, and … Read More >>>
