Basset Hounds are a stoic, yet extremely charming breed. The strong nose, long velvety ears, and short stature of these pups make them great natural hunting companions. Although they’re pretty low on the activity scale, Basset Hounds should still be kept busy and entertained!
Toys are important in the development of pets. Playing with toys channels their energy positively, so they’re not chewing on your shoes or digging up your yard. Playing also helps you bond with your dog and get them up and moving! The fun doubles as exercise.
Making sure your special fur friend is stocked with fun and interesting toys isn’t always as easy as you’d think. Basset Hounds are big diggers and chewers. Entertaining these dogs can be a real challenge. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with this great list of interactive toys.
