What DIY pet toys have worked best for you?

Choosing the right DIY pet toys can be a challenge with so many options available. After trying my hand at making toys for my dogs and cats, I’ve noticed they gravitate towards certain ones while others barely get any attention. It raises the question: how do we find that ideal mix of durability and fun?

What materials or designs have you found your pets love? I’ve experimented with old t-shirts and tennis balls, but I’m eager to hear what has been a hit or miss for others. Let’s swap some successful toy ideas or share our less-than-stellar attempts to help each other create more engaging playthings for our furry friends!

I’ve had some luck with empty cardboard boxes and paper towel rolls stuffed with treats. My cats go nuts for that stuff! It’s super cheap and they love the challenge, plus it takes them a while to tear it apart, which is a bonus.
