Winter is here and colder than ever in most places, making it no surprise that dogs and their owners are spending a bit more time inside. But our pups still need something to do to keep them busy, so we’ve come up with 5 great indoor toys that are perfect for a cold, winter day!

#1 – StarMark Bob-A-Lot

The Bob-A-Lot is a great toy that can be used with treats or your pup’s entire meal. This toy is weighted on the bottom so your dog can’t permanently knock it over, but can bobble it around to get his treats or food out.

#2 – Outward Hound Indoor Agility Kit

If you’ve got some extra space or are able to clear some room, this indoor agility kit is a great way to teach your pup some cool tricks while staying inside where it’s warm and dry. This smaller, simpler version of an agility course is easy to set up and tear down and will definitely keep you both entertained.

#3 – Busy Dog Ball

These clear plastic balls are made for you to put treats inside that dispense as your dog rolls the ball around. Your pooch can see the treats inside and they’ll dispense as slowly or quickly as you want them to depending on the size snack you use.

#4 – Nylabone DuraChew® Double Action® Chew

For those with very serious chewers, this toy will certainly keep them entertained for a while. Chewing is a great way for dogs to release stress and energy and it’s a completely natural behavior to boot. The ends are hard for heavy chewing, but the middle is a softer, yet durable rubber material.

#5 – JW Pet Treat Pod

This tugging toy is also a treat dispenser that your pooch is sure to love. Held together by natural rope material, the pods each hold treats that come out as your dog plays with the toy. You can put three different types of treats inside to really spice things up!
