Whenever we have pets in the home, we usually like to give them things to keep them occupied and happy while the owner is not in the home. Dog toys and aquarium supplies are just some of the knick knacks that are available in the local pet store so it is a good idea to see what new innovations there are to keep these pets occupied.

For the fish tank, there are all kinds of small items which will not only look great against the background of the tank it also gives the fish something to swim in and out of or around. This may sound a little odd but fish can get very bored too. Imagine that they are in this enclosed environment all the time without ever being able to swim free and one will see how they feel for sure. In fact, the tank should not be overcrowded in the first place otherwise some fish will become aggressive for sure.

For pampered pooches, the selection of play things is virtually endless. Not only are there bones and shoes made of cow hide for them to chew on, there are also things like balls and Frisbees too for them run after and get some well needed exercise. These play things can also come in many different shapes and sizes too and most of them will have a squeaker facility on them. This is particularly useful for when they are to be used for training since a quick squeak will indicate when the pet is doing something right or wrong. Coupled with a delicious treat or two, this could be the ideal way to ensure that the pet starts to behave in an acceptable way. It is really down to personal taste what the pet will find interesting of course. However, one should always ensure that there is nothing on the plaything which can be chewed off or which will drop off after some rough play. Just like children, they can get damaged by something like this so it is important to check that the item is passed by some accredited board for safety.

Also like kids, paint on these play things must not come off, or if it does, it must be non toxic. Although a lot of people would not even think about this, it is important to make sure that the play thing is safe before letting the pooch play with it.

The great thing about pet shops which sell all kinds of paraphernalia for pets will surely have all the latest innovations available too. Whether it is the latest collars and leads, or the latest chip technology information, these outlets will know what is going on for pets. They will also have all the latest flea or tick shampoos and treatments too so it is well worthwhile going along to take a look at what is on offer every now and then. It may be a good idea too, if one is moving from one place to another, to get a few interesting play things to distract the pets once they have settled into their new homes.
