All For Paws Outdoor Dog

Most dogs, generally speaking, like squeaker toys. A squeaky toy's noises sound like prey. The sounds produced by these toys trigger a dog’s natural instincts to hunt the small prey making the noise. Hearing the high-pitched squeak and ripping apart the toy can be immensely satisfying to some dogs.

Squeakers are often simple, air-filled mechanisms that can be sensitive to water. If water seeps into the squeaker, it can affect its ability to produce sound. Washing, especially in a machine or with vigorous scrubbing, can dislodge or damage the squeaker. Therefore, cleaning dog toys, especially those with squeakers, requires some care to avoid damaging the mechanism. The best practice is manual cleaning with warm water and mild soap. Additionally, a solution of water and white vinegar can be used to effectively clean and disinfect the toy without using chemicals.
