Speaking of pets, 7 on your sides Michael Finney has teamed up with consumer reports. He is finding the toys that will bring a wag to your dogs tail and make your cat happy. Reporter shopping for our pets is fun. Consumer reports tells you which toys are safest and what types will make your dog or cat jolly this holiday season. Sure, your pet can play by themselves but its favorite thing to play with is you. For dogs, games like catch or tugofwar give them exercise and satisfy their social needs. Frisbees and rope pulls are also favorites. Who can resist a brand new ball . Even an aloof cat might spend time with you if you give him the right dangling toys and he will get some exercise. When your pets are alone, they can stay occupied with a toy that delivers a treat. Balls that contain tasty bits or rubber toys with a little Peanut Butter inside but keep them clean.
