Plush toys do double duty in a dog’s life. They are essentially soft cuddly comfort toys to sleep with but they also make great prey toys, honing a dogs natural prey drive because plush toys are also for carrying and shaking around as part of a determined innate canine effort to “attack and kill” them. And, they also fit into the action category because many of them are also great for playing “fetch”.
Cats and dogs, just like children, like a schedule in their lives. Do your best to schedule meal times, walks for your dog and indoor game times for both cats and dogs.
