DIY Squeaky Dog Bone: Save Your Wallet (and Sanity)

Ever spent $15 on a squeaky toy, only for your dog to destroy it in 30 seconds? Same. Here’s how I stopped hemorrhaging cash and started making my own dog toys—bonus: they’re cuter and safer. Grab any fabric you like (old jeans, that shirt you never wear, whatever). Cut out two bone shapes using a free template (Google it, trust me). Sew them together, but leave a gap. Now, for the magic: make a little canvas pouch for the squeaker (so your dog doesn’t choke if they go full gremlin mode). Stuff the pouch and some fiberfill inside, then sew it all up. You get a custom, durable toy that’s perfect for fetch, tug-of-war, or just snuggling. Make a bunch—your dog will love you, and your bank account will thank you. Bonus points if you share your creation online and tag your fellow dog parents. #DIYDogToys #PetHacks #DogLovers #Pets
