Largely have to disagree with you there. The more expensive toys usually last a lot longer with my dogs.
I can just crinkle up some paper for my cats.
My cats always loved the cheapest toys, like those little twisty ties that come with trash bags, but my dogs never did.
They still make those sort of trash bags? I’ve never not bought the draw string ones
If you buy small trash bags, such as for a bathroom trash can, you're more likely to get them.
That makes sense I’ve always just used grocery bags for those
Or give them a laser dot to chase
I don't have any laser dots in the trash
You could buy a set of dots online. They come in tubes and you can dispense them everywhere!
But trash is free
I agree, I’ve got a large dog and he can demolish cheap toys within hours but the good quality ones will last months
What I meant was not cheap toys as an alternative, but random crap like socks or a twig are usually more exciting for my golden retriever instead of some great toys which last a few mins of excitement and then he's done
Totally depends on the pet then. My cat is not a good predator, so breakage is not a problem, but she's very picky with what she wants to play with and most new toys can't keep her interest for longer than 2 weeks, so it's absolutely a waste of money to spend more. The only toy that she consistently plays with is still a random piece of rope 😅
So the pet's personality plays a part, but seeing the other comments, I also see a cat vs dog difference.
