Dog Toys for Teething, Toys for Boredom - Recommended Pomeranian Toys
Teething Toys: It can be very frustrating for dog owners to have puppies who are teething; not only do most dogs try to chew on just about everything except the kitchen sink leaving a wake of destroyed household items, but it is also sad to know that your puppy is suffering during this difficult time. A dog will chew and gnaw on anything that they can, in an attempt to dull the pain that they are in. Below are our top recommended dog toys specifically for teething issues.
Many of our PetPom Members have asked our recommendation for dog toys. One must keep in mind that anyone can create a cheap plastic object and call it a dog toy; this is not what your Pomeranian needs! A loving owner must be careful to choose quality toys that not only look fun, but are fun! The following toys will not only keep your Pom amused, they are designed with teething in mind. As you will see, these dog toys have smaller parts to the whole; thus offering your dog what they need: a toy that they can chew on that gets into the crevices of their mouth where they need relief from the teething pain.
Our favorite toys to help teething and chewing needs:
Boredom and Separation Anxiety Toys: The correct toys are vital when trying to help your Pomeranian cope with separation anxiety and learning to be home alone when they cannot be with their best friend. Boredom and the stress of waiting for you to arrive back home to them can cause a Pomeranian to chew nervously on just about any item that they can find. Resolving this issue is two-fold. An owner must supply their dog with a bounty of wonderful, amusing toys and an owner must implement training. When you arrive home, do not greet your dog immediately. First, give the "Find" command and have your dog bring you one of their toys. When they do so, offer all the hugs, kisses and attention that you have! After a week or so of this training, this will show your dog that having a toy is good behavior. While they are missing you, they will remember that if they have a toy, hugs and kisses will come faster!

Toy Dispenser and Boxes
This toy dispenser is absolutely brilliant; however do keep in mind that it is not for every budget! While it will keep your Pomeranian interested and busy while you are away, the dog toy boxes are also a great method for your dog to have a special place to "hide" and keep their special toys! It is important for all dogs to know that their toys are their alone and that they can depend and rely on where to find them.
