Toys serve as a means of mental, emotional and mental development for dogs. When making them for your pet yourself, it is important to consider that they are not only useful, but also safe.
It is necessary
- - dense fabric;
- - strong threads;
- - needle;
- - sewing machine;
- - rice;
- - cotton fabric.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a rope for chewing. Weave a dense thick rope together in a tight braid. But do not use nylon ropes, as they will soon delaminate and can harm the animal by entering the esophagus.
Step 2
In addition to the rope, you can use a strip of thick fabric or an old waffle towel. Tie some tight knots on it and give it to the dog.
Step 3
Sew a fabric toy. Select a shape for it and cut two identical parts. Cut them out of heavy, sturdy fabric, fold right sides together. Sweep, then sew along the contour, leaving a small hole unstitched for turning and stuffing the product.
Step 4
Stuff the toy. Use small pieces of fabric for this, preferably cotton. If the toy is chewed, and it goes unnoticed for you, accidentally eaten pieces of cotton fabric will not cause much harm to the dog, as can happen with cotton wool or padding polyester.
Step 5
You can also use rice grains as stuffing. It is not only safe, but also interesting for the pet - the rice rustles and sprinkles. Use these lightweight toys that fit comfortably in your dog's mouth as a pick-up or hidden object for your search.
Step 6
Use materials of different textures to create additional interest in your pet. The lifespan of the toy depends on the dog's temperament. Sometimes it turns out to be quite short, but it pays off with interest with interest in the ease of its manufacture and low cost.
Step 7
For a puppy whose teeth are changing, make a sturdy, safe stick that he can chew on. Take a thick fabric. Finish all edges. Fold them up two times and sew to prevent the dog from eating the threads. Fold the sides of the piece of fabric towards the center.
Step 8
Fold the opposite edges diagonally. Roll the fabric very tightly into a roll. When you reach the middle, sew it along the entire length with thick threads. Then fold the fabric all the way up. Sew the edge with frequent, neat stitches while tightening the thread tightly. The size of the stitch should be such that a dog's tooth cannot fit into it.
Step 9
Stretch the fabric so that the toy is firm and firm. It is very important that the thread is strong enough and does not break during the manufacture and use of the toy. Unlike a rubber toy, this toy is more resistant to the onslaught of dogs - it is difficult to chew off pieces from it.
