Easy to Make DIY Dog Toys at Home

If you are a furry pet parent, you might know that no amount of dog toys can be enough. You will require more than one puppy teething toy for your dog’s chewing stage. When a puppy has incoming teeth, they tend to chew on these toys to get some relief from the pain that they might be experiencing because of the incoming toy.

However, even an adult dog cannot have enough dog toys. It can become expensive to buy beyond a specific number, so here are five DIY dog toys that you can make at home. 

7 DIY dog toys

1. Homemade squeaky dog toy

Dogs tend to love ripping toys apart no matter how cute they are; for these dogs, a squeaky dog might be the perfect toy. You will need any kind of fabric, preferably an old T-shirt that smells like you. You can buy some stuffy and a squeaker online and are all set to go. 

Cut two shapes resembling a bone from the old T-shirt and sew these two from the edges together. You have to leave a tiny opening to fill in the stuffing and insert the speaker. Turn it inside out, insert the stuffing and speaker, and then sew the opening close after turning it again. Your DIY squeaky dog toy is ready!

2. An interactive dog feeder toy

Eating food while having a little playtime can always be fun. Interactive dog feeders are essential for your furry child. They help engage their brains and make them happy. You can take a PVC pipe and create pooches inside it to store food.

You can drill these holes and ensure that they have safe edges. Sand the rough edges. Clean the pipe thoroughly before using it. 

3. Rope ball toy

If you are looking for cheap dog toys, you need to keep in mind that you will always need more rope ball toys. It is very easy to make these rope ball toys that you can take on walks in the garden. First of all, you will need a rope that has a diameter of about 3-4 inches.  

Take a lacrosse ball and also buy the electrical tape. 

Unwind the rope for 10-15 inches and then tape it. Use the rope to make knots, and it should look like a braid. With pliers, you can pull the strands and ensure that they stay intact. You will also have to cover the lacrosse ball, and then the toy will be ready.

4. The socktopus toy

If you are a pet parent, you might have lost many socks around the house, only to find your dog nibbling on them under the dinner table. A socktopus is a good use of the colorful socks that you wore once. 

Take one colorful sock that will be seen from the outside and fill it with other socks. Make an octopus head at the top; you can also use ribbons to make it more precise. You can also use these ribbons to make more legs of your octopus. It is a quick and cute toy for your toy, made entirely at home.

5. No-sew, heart-shaped toy

Who does not love a good heart-shaped soft toy that also looks pretty? You can make a no-sew heart-shaped toy quite easily. Draw a heart on fleece that is as smooth as you would like to be. You should leave space of about 2 inches if you do not want to sew the space. You can also sew the sides after cutting out the heart from the fleece. 

Make sure you do not make this toy for your dog if they tend to tear it apart. It is not suggested.

6. Tennis ball puzzle

You might be slightly puzzled by the name (haha, see what I did there?), but the name exactly defines the next DIY toy option for your dog. Take a muffin tin; this way, you also get to eat muffins, so it is a win-win. Wash it and place tennis balls in each section.

Hide Dog treats under these balls. This way, they can solve the puzzle and get rewarded for doing so. Games such as these are excellent for stimulating your dog mentally and are fun as well.

7. The tease pole your dog needs

Another DIY toy we are going to make is one of the Best dog toys for chewers and adults. Because you are making it at home, you can tweak it based on your dog's needs. Take a chew toy and tie it with a threat to a PVC pipe. Make sure to sand the edges as well. 

You can change the length of the thread and then play with this tease pole with your dog in the garden. It can also help your dog develop physically.

These are the 7 DIY dog toys you can build at home if you want to save some money or even just give a gift from your side to your furry child.
