Finding the Best Color Toys for Dogs Simple Tips!

Okay, so I've been meaning to figure out the whole "best color toys for dogs" thing for a while. My pup, Max, seems to get bored with his toys super fast, so I figured maybe color had something to do with it. I started digging around, you know, just casually Googling stuff.

My Research and What I Tried

I started by just throwing a bunch of different colored toys at Max – a red ball, a blue squeaky bone, a green rope... you name it. He definitely seemed more interested in some than others. It wasn't super scientific, but it was a start.

Then I read somewhere that dogs mostly see blues and yellows. So, I ditched the red and orange toys (poor Max, he actually kinda liked the orange ball) and focused on getting more blue and yellow stuff.

• First, I bought a bright blue frisbee.
• Then, I found a yellow, knobbly ball that was supposed to be good for chewing.
• I even tried dyeing some of his old, faded toys with pet-safe dye – mostly blues and some yellows. That was a bit of a mess, not gonna lie.

The Results

Honestly, it seemed to make a difference! Max was WAY more engaged with the blue frisbee than he ever was with his old red one. He chased it, brought it back, and actually seemed to enjoy it for longer than five minutes. The yellow ball was also a hit. He'd spend ages gnawing on it, which is great because he's a power chewer.

The dyed toys were... okay. I think the color helped a bit, but they were still his old toys, so he lost interest pretty quickly. Still, it felt like I was onto something.

So, my totally unscientific conclusion? Yeah, color probably matters. Sticking to blues and yellows seems to keep Max more entertained. I'm still experimenting, but it's definitely been worth trying!
