The Best Toys for Pets Based on Their Zodiac Sign
from Kendle Frank
You probably know your own zodiac sign, but do you know your pet’s? Astrology offers fascinating information about your dog or cat’s interests and the ways in which they interact with others and the world around them, such as their playstyles and which toys best suit their unique needs.
Before we dive in, you’ll need to determine your pet’s zodiac sign based on their birthdate. Don’t know their actual birthday? No problem! Use their Gotcha Day or pick the sign that best fits their personality and preferences. Without further ado, let’s explore what your pet’s star sign says about them, their playstyle, and what toys you should get them next.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Ambitious, loyal, and practical, Capricorn pets thrive on independence and a predictable routine. While they typically prefer to play by themselves, Capricorns play hard! These tough chewers enjoy durable, multi-purpose toys that are compatible with solo play and provide mental and physical enrichment. Pro tip: If you have a Capricorn dog at home, try KONG’s line of black extreme rubber for even longer-lasting play!
