Your dog isn't being naughty. They're solving a mystery 🧐

Ever wondered why some dogs go straight for the squeaker and absolutely will not stop until they've found it? Turns out, it's a completely normal play response. Most dogs are wired to chase and play with anything that makes a high-pitched noise, and the squeaker happens to be the most exciting part of any toy.

Some dogs are gentle squeaker-players who'll happily snuggle the same plush toy for months. Others are determined squeaker-hunters who'll work through one in an afternoon. The good news? Same dog brain, totally different play styles, and once you know which kind of player your dog is, picking a toy that suits the way they actually play (and lasts a bit longer) gets so much easier.

We've got the full breakdown over on the blog: what makes squeakers so compelling, how to spot your dog's chew style, and what toys suit each kind of player.

Read it here 👇

Why does your dog destroy squeaky toys so quickly? It's a normal play instinct. Here's how to spot your dog's play style and pick a toy that lasts.
