Why does your dog like to chew on bones? The short answer is that it makes them feel good!

It’s a form of enrichment, keeping them mentally stimulated and stress-free. These days, most dogs don’t have to hunt for their food, but those instincts are deeply ingrained. Chewing on toys can give them the same sense of fulfillment that their ancestors got from a successful hunt.

Even for indoor cats, the hunting instinct remains strong, so playtime that helps express this natural behavior can be vitally important.

Playology’s new cat toys are designed to replicate the thrill of stalking and capturing play. By engaging their predatory instincts, playtime is not just fun, but mentally stimulating–which can lead to a happier and healthier life for your cat!

When we developed the all-new line of Playology cat toys, we looked at the science behind what made cats enjoy their toys. Each and every toy is designed to captivate your cat’s curiosity and intelligence for engaging, mentally-stimulating play.

Play for a long time you will.

Playology toys are embedded with scents to appeal to your dog’s most prominent sense. Like a scratch-and-sniff sticker, the more they play, the more scent is released.

The scent is a derivative of the real protein, so there are no chemicals involved–just all-natural scents to keep your dog playing longer.

Between teething and learning about the world, puppies tend to chew on everything–so it’s important to teach them the RIGHT things to chew on. Playology puppy toys and some consistent training can set you and your puppy up for success:
1. Pay attention to what types of things your puppy likes to chew on, and give them toys that could feel similar–like a rope or a teething ball.
2. Pick the scent of their favorite food! Playology puppy toys are available in beef, chicken, or peanut butter scents.
3. Rotate their favorite toys every few days to keep them new and exciting.
4. When they chew on things that they shouldn’t, redirect their attention to their toys, and praise them when they choose the toys first!

If you’re not matching your pajamas to your favorite toys, what are you even doing?!

You may have heard the myth that playing tug-of-war with your dog teaches them bad behavior, but actually, the opposite is true. Playing together in the right way can be a great activity to bond, burn extra energy, and build up your dog’s confidence!

To encourage healthy play and avoid aggression, your dog should understand that the game is your idea–not theirs. Use a specific command to start play time and hold the toy first before your dog starts tugging. Setting these ground rules helps make playtime happy and productive for both you and your dog!

It’s the first day of spring, and every dog owner knows what that means… Mud. Lots of mud.

Playology toys are washable, so you can give them a good scrubbing after an afternoon in the yard and the scent won’t wash away!

Every aspect of Playology toys is designed with your dog’s instincts in mind. Anyone with a big chewer has seen it… your dog grabs their new toy, props it up in between their paws and proceeds to gnaw the end right off. To combat that, we designed our Squeaky Chew Stick with tapered ends to help prevent your dog from getting that solid grip, so they’re more likely to just chew–not destroy.

The predatory motor sequence is the instinctual hunting pattern in canines. In dog's ancestors, this was how they survived, but these days, it's more commonly seen in the way that your dog plays.

Terriers were originally bred to hunt rodents, so you might see your terrier grabbing their toys and shaking them. Toys like the Squeaky Shake Ball are specifically designed for these instincts. The plush material is soft and durable, and the multiple ropes make it more satisfying to grab and shake!

As your dog gets older, it becomes more important than ever to take good care of their teeth. The Dental Chew Stick is soft on their mouth and gums, with deep grooves to help clean their teeth while they play. It’s embedded with the all-natural scent of pork sausage (or peanut butter!), so they’ll love it as much as you do.

To any dogs out there reading this: when your mom says you need to use your head, this is not what she means.

The most difficult decision of the day… play time or nap time?

If you have a new puppy in the family, you have probably already noticed that they need stimulation. With developing senses and skills, they’re still learning how to interact with the world around them.

Our Puppy Sensory Ball is made with soft spikes, interesting textures, an exciting squeaker, and an all-natural scent, so it can help with sensory development AND keep your puppy playing longer.

Unwrapping a gift without opposable thumbs might take a little bit longer, but it’s worth the effort.

A little dirt is the sign of a well-loved toy!

Ever wondered why your dog just LOVES to tear their toys apart? It’s genetics–a trait leftover from the days when dogs had to hunt for their dinner.

Our Dri-Tech Ropes are made with a unique fiber blend that breaks away in small pieces, so if you have a shredder, you don’t have to worry about big clumps or long strings!

13/12/2023

While our toys are designed with a dog’s instincts in mind, we didn’t forget about humans. Dogs might love a slimy toy, but it’s not everyone’s favorite thing–that’s why we use a durable shaped fiber technology that wicks away slobber, so you can BOTH enjoy playtime.

The peanut butter scented Dri-Tech Rope is now available to buy on Facebook!
