I made the toy and then the dog wouldn't let me get a photo of it. Here is the best I could do, a blurry image of him playing with the toy. Our dogs don't play fetch with their toys. They play keep-away.
The only supplies that you need are an empty and clean water bottle along with an old sock.
Remove the lid from the bottle and then place the bottle in the sock. Tie a knot at the opening of the sock to prevent the bottle from falling out. We press the bottle a little flat or it is too big for the dogs to chew and carry. That is all you need to do to make your dog a toy.
Our dogs love these. They make a bit of noise and the dogs can drag them around. The sock protects the dog from any plastic pieces that may fall off.
Our dogs can't chew through the sock, though. Watch your dog when playing with this or any toy to reduce the risk of injury.
We have three cats, but I only made up two of these boxes. That was because our cat, Mystique, likes to sleep in the puppy beds. She seemed to take a liking to the wrapped boxes. Therefore, I wrapped up one for her (cut the hole first) and now she is enjoying hers.
The cats like to investigate new things around them. I may end up wrapping the boxes in various holiday wrapping paper or even holiday fabric.
Starch or a washable glue can attach the fabric to the boxes. I can always wash the fabric when it gets dusty.
