My dog plays with the cats toys?
She is a Lab so she’s a bigger dog and she plays with my cats tiny toys. She’ll get on her back and roll around with them in her mouth, and they are so small I’m afraid she might choke. Also, my cat will try to join and she ends up rolling on him or hitting him on accident with her big paws. Why doesn’t she play with her fun, big, dog toys? Some of my cats toys have cat nip in them. Do dogs also like cat nip? Should I start taking away the cats toys?
Take all toys ( smaller than a tennis ball ) away from the Lab ASAP. Especially, laying on her back, she’s liable to get one stuck in her throat….too far down for you to reach…..and choke to death.
Did you hear about OPRAH’S Yellow Lab. He was playing with a ping-pong ball, choked on it, and died before anyone could get it out! Made a believer out of me, for sure!!
Put your kitty toys in a place where the dog cannot get to them. Then, when she’s outside, or in another room, let the cat have 1 or 2 to play with. Make SURE that they’re put away before letting the dog back into that space…….may save her life!!
Remember……….nothing smaller than a tennis ball……..I have a Chocolate Lab, and I don’t give him anything to play with that COULD get swallowed ( or stuck in his throat! ) Brutus ( my Lab ) loves playing with his tennis balls……..and large bones…..tied ropes, etc.
Hope this helps……..Good luck………

Dogs like their own food. It doesn’t matter if your dog likes cat toys let it play with them. Its not hurting anyone.
