It is that time of year when many of us are getting loved ones gifts.  We at ACF hope that you don’t forget your furry (or scaly) loved ones and want to share some easy homemade gifts you can share with your (or someone else's) pet!
Dog Specific Toys:

Check out this article on Puppy Links for several great and easy to make dog toys for your pup of any age! 

Another cost effective option is to rescue a child’s stuffed animal from a thrift store.  Make sure to wash the animal before giving it to your pet and remove any hard embellishments (like eyes, noses, or buttons) so that your dog does not swallow them.

Cat Specific Toys:​
Check out this article by Marlene Sauer for
some great cat specific toys that are super easy
to make! 


My cats’ favorite toys are craft puff balls that
I leave in a container of catnip.  I take fresh
ones out periodically, and return the old ones
to refresh in the catnip essence.
Rodent, Bird, and Reptile Toys:
Many of the above cat and dog toys can also serve as reptile, rodent and bird toys.  

You can find some specific Reptile toy recommendations on the Reptiles Direct page here.

Check out The Spruce Pets article by Lianne McLeod, DVM for some great rodent toys.  (Though this is targeted to rats, many would be great for rabbits, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and more!)

​Bird toy ideas can be found at Exotic Direct here.  These are targeted to parrots, so size down if you have smaller birds!
