If your dog could talk, chances are they'd never say no to a new toy [1] or treat. And even without their words, you can probably tell just how excited they feel [2] once they lay eyes on a present that's meant just for them, from Disney tennis balls [3] to human food served up on a platter [4]. But now that spring is here, choices blossom with fuzzy flowers, furry bunnies, and the possibility of an Easter basket of your dog's very own [5].
If that's not reason enough, now's the perfect time to spring clean a toy box [6], and freshen things up with pastel picks for the new season. We also looked for yummy treats, because we know you've got a good pup at home who deserves a snack ASAP [7].
Don't wait too long to check out our favourites ahead . . . before you catch your dog suspiciously sniffing around your wallet ready to shop for themself.
