I'm trying to save money on unnecessary things because I'm new to dog parenting. Strangely, my 9-month-old beagle's favorite toys are the silicone dog toy ones that I got her. She keeps returning to the silicone bone, even though I thought she would like the ones that squeak. I can simply rinse it off when it gets dirty, and it's soft but seems to hold up really well. Kind of a win, to be honest.
