How to Keep Your Dog Active

If you've stopped by Craft Create Cook before you probably know we love pets. Especially dogs. We each have our own four-legged pup that calls us mom and we have no shame in that. We also have human babies that we care for on a day to day basis but there is just something dogs that we are just drawn too. I always joke that I am four shades away from being a crazy dog lady. My 11.5 year old German Shorthair is my 'oldest' and I often say the most cooperative of my children. She doesn't yell, she doesn't scream or fight or demand thing of me. She just wants to be cuddled and fed. She often times the easiest of all the kids!

Charlie will be 12 in July and even though I refer to her as my 'old lady' she's still as active as ever and loves to run and play. Living in Northern Michigan though, it's not always easy to get outside during the cold winter months. We are lucky that we live on a several acres in a rural area. Charlie is allowed to run as she pleases. She never takes off and 'protects' us from our neighbors; deer and raccoons. Skunk season is recently upon us so trips outside are generally limited to the daytime right now.

When Charlie can't get outside as much as I would like, we turn to Milk-Bone® Active^TMToys. My local Meijer store carries a wide selection of Milk-Bone Active Toys and they are perfect for active dogs. Charlie only eats Milk-Bone Dog Biscuits as treats and they fit perfectly inside select Milk-Bone Active Toys. Charlie prefers the medium biscuits and we love putting them in the Milk-Bone Medium Dispensing Ball. The Medium Dispensing Ball is perfect for dogs weighing 25-49 pounds. Charlie weighs about 50 pounds and it keep will keep her occupied for up to 45 minutes.

I love that Milk-Bone Active Toys are made of high-quality, durable, non-toxic material and are specifically designed to work with Milk-Bone biscuits. Charlie is picky when it comes to toys and they rarely keep her attention. The Milk-Bone toys are great because they keep her engaged, mentally stimulated and active while she tries to get the biscuits.

Milk-Bone makes 4 different Active Toys (2 balls and 2 treat tumblers in varying sizes):

Medium Dispensing Ball (for dogs 25-49 lbs)
Medium Treat Tumbler (for dogs 25-49 lbs)
Small Dispensing Ball (for dogs Up to 24 lbs)
Small Treat Tumbler (for dogs Up to 24 lbs)

Each Milk-Bone Active Toy is conveniently packaged and even comes with a starter pack of Milk-Bone Biscuits for your dog to try! Milk-Bone Active Toys are fun and the provide entertainment, mental stimulation and a reward for getting the treat out. The toys are also durable so you don't have to worry about leaving it outside overnight. It's also non-toxic and safe for pets to chew on.
