DIY Dog Catch Toy

Whenever I’m asked how many kids I have, I of course say 3. Then I catch myself. Because I don’t have just 3 kids. There’s the dog, too, and I want to make sure his food contains the proper nutrition so he can be his best.
There’s also the cat. But the dog would prefer if we just forget about him. There’s a bit of sibling rivalry, there.
Since Snoopy is my 4th child, I want to make sure he’s well-taken care of. And that’s why I make sure to pick up Purina® Pro Plan® when I’m at PetSmart. There’s even a great rebate offer so that you can try Purina® Pro Plan® free.
Really, though, my dog just likes going there for the chance to socialize and possibly get a treat out of the deal.
The goal of Purina® Pro Plan® is to give your dog the nutrition to be his absolute best, helping him to be energetic and resilient, and maintaining an ideal body condition, healthy skin, and a stunning coat. Since being the best he can be means something different for every dog, there’s a wide range of dry and wet foods, snacks, and supplement bars can be found in five specialized platforms. Each one contains products formulated for a dog’s taste preferences, age/dietary considerations, or activity/lifestyle.
Being his best also means making sure he gets a lot of exercise. We take him on walks every day and he has a blast chasing the other kids around. He also needs time to play, though.
You don’t need expensive toys, however. Take a few old pairs of jeans, braid them together and you have a fun DIY Catch Toy! Fun to either play fetch with, tug of war, or let your pup simply chew on it. Hide a few pieces of Purina® Pro Plan® in the ties to really get him interested!
Old Denim DIY Catch Toy
Supplies needed:
- 3 strips of old denim
- scissors
- treats or food to tuck in a few of the braids
Cut strips of denim to your desired length, then braid together.
You can just leave it as is with frayed edges, tied tightly on the ends with thinner strips of denim, or make a bit longer to tie together in a circle. Tuck in a few pieces of food in the folds of the denim and you should have one very happy dog and a fun game of catch!

I love the denim scrap bone idea- I have so many old pairs of jeans that don’t fit, this is great! #client
The rate we go through dog toys, I needed to find ways to make my own. Love this catch toy.
My dog would love a treat filled braid! We have lots of pets and they are such wonderful companions we make sure they get the best of everything 🙂
Aw, snoopy looks very happy with his new treats and toys. And extra praise for that first photo – my dog would be face-first into that bowl of food 🙂
Snoopy is really cute! My sister’s dog tears toys apart so that catch toy would be perfect for them.
I’ve made one of these too. Denim is a grat idea, it’s so durable
What a fun toy idea! I definitely have some old jeans I can grab- my dog will love this!
What a cute dog and what a clever dog toy, that would be a good craft for my kids to do!
Aw, your dog is adorable! My dog would enjoy a toy like this. 🙂
