For our money, nothing beats a Kong Toy stuffed with creamy peanut butter – and then frozen for a few hours. This cold and yummy treat keeps our dog busy for at least an hour.
There are other neat toys out there too, like the Talk to Me Treatball. This plastic ball has has a chip that lets you record something, like “Good Dog Scout!” or “night night”. But! if you have a big dog, a chewer or a puppy – this toy should only be used with supervision – and for Separation Anxiety – no good. Stick with the KONG.

By Sue Nielsen, MD It’s about a 2 hour drive to Naples from Sarasota, and may be a little longer with a dog. We stopped at a rest stop to take a potty break and stretch all our legs. If you are going to be traveling with your dog, you may consider investing in a [...]

By Sue Nielsen Before Rico, my long-haired Chihuahua, came into my life, I would take long vacations to see nature at its finest. I’ve been scuba diving in the Baja of Mexico with hammerhead sharks, kayaking amidst a family of Orca whales in British Columbia, and experienced Humpback whales singing and breaching in Hawaii.
