One Simple Trick to Make Dog Toys Last Longer
Even the strongest toys don’t last forever—but there’s an easy way to get more life (and more play) out of every toy you buy: rotation.
Here’s how a simple system can stretch your toy budget and keep your dog more engaged.
1. What Is Toy Rotation?
Toy rotation means not giving your dog access to every toy at once. Instead, you:
-
Choose a few toys to leave out
-
Store the rest
-
Swap them regularly to keep things fresh
It’s like reintroducing a “new” toy—without buying another.
2. Why It Works
Dogs get bored with the same thing every day. Rotating toys:
-
Increases excitement and interest
-
Reduces destructive boredom behaviors
-
Makes each toy feel new again
It’s mental stimulation without spending a dime.
3. How to Start
-
Pick 3–5 toys to keep available at a time
-
Put the rest in a bin or closet, out of reach
-
Swap them out every 3–5 days
-
Use downtime to clean and inspect the toys for damage
This also helps you catch wear before it becomes a safety issue.
