So, you have a few furry critters running around and want to know how you can cut down on the expensive costs that are associated with pet toys? Good! Because we have a few tips for you that will help you do just that. You see, we know how expensive they can be. Walk into any pet store in the country (or even retail stores) and you’ll see some pretty crazy prices on pet toys. Well, that’s all about to end. Are you ready to get started? Good!

Make Your Own

The first tip that we have for you is to make your own pet toys. It’s a lot easier than it sounds. If you have a cat, try a balled up piece of aluminum foil as they absolutely love it! Do you have a dog? Find an old piece of rope or make one out of an old t-shirt. All you have to do is use your imagination and find out what kind of toys your pets like. From there, it’s all about creativity and know how. Trust us on this one. Pets love this stuff.

Ask Around

Do you know someone that maybe had a pet in the past? Maybe their pet is too old to play with their old toys. Just like children, pet owners tend to keep pet toys long after they are still being used. Find out if any of your friends or family has some pet toys that you can take off of their hands. They’ll be free and they’ll definitely get used by your animals.

Bargain Stores

A great place to get your hands on cheap pet toys is at bargain stores such as Big Lots, Dollar General, and stores like that. You’ll find pet toys and other odds and ends that you can use as pet toys. All you have to do is shop around a little bit and you’re sure to find something that your animals will love regardless of what they are. Go ahead and try!

Yard Sales

Finally, the last place that we have for you to find cheap pet toys is at yard sales. This one is kind of hit or miss as you never know what you’ll find in someone else’s garage but we have ran across quite a few pet toys in the past. The only way to find out if a particular yard sale is home to cheap pet toys though is to check it out so definitely do that.

And if you follow the tips above, you should have no trouble finding some affordable pet toys. After all, not everyone spends a ton of money on their pets’ toys. We know we don’t! We’d rather have that extra money to put into stuff that matters like quality pet food and vacations. Now, what are you waiting for? Get out there and entertain your pets without spending your rent money. We promise that it’s definitely possible and that you can do it!
