You love your pet. You want it to be happy, but keeping your dog amused can end up costing you the earth. That’s when you need pet toys.

Feeding your dog correctly is a priority (see our dog food section for more information), but don’t underestimate the importance of keeping your dog amused.

With your wallet in mind, Dog Buffs has jumped to the challenge picking out some great toys all which cost under $5.

The Aspen Booda Fresh N Floss Rope is the first option.

This inexpensive toy could end up saving you more money in the long term as it provides an added benefit in the shape of a great tooth and gum massage, gently removing plaque and tartar from your dog’s mouth.

As an alternative, the Aspen Pet Booda Fresh N Floss Knot Bone toy is just as inexpensive, but has one step more in oral hygiene with real pieces of dental floss incorporated into soft natural cotton fibers.

With baking soda and fluoride added, this toy is one of the best things a dog can play with.

Imagine that; a inexpensive pet toy that doubles up as a health benefit - worth every cent!

Five dollars can buy you quite a bit in the toy market.

For example Grriggles Coin Cutie Dog Toy is a plush pig with a hidden squeaker.

All too soon, this little one will become your dog’s playmate, ideal for playing, worrying and cuddling up to.

It’s especially good for dogs with sore mouths as the surface is kitten soft.

Grriggles is a great brand for picking up quality dog toys without the price tag.

The Loop Troupe toys are enormous fun. Your dog will love pulling the toys around, be amused by the squeaker and have a tooth clean all in one.

This cheap pet toy comes as either a dog, lion or rhino, ten inches tall with the possibility of stretching to 17 inches.

Tough By Nature Good Breath Bone is a steal at the price and has some great benefits.

Made with long lasting natural rubber and the fresh taste of mint to sweeten breath and keep gums healthy, your dog will benefit from lots of fun chewing play and you will notice how clean and fresh your dog’s breath is.

For other dental toys try Kong Dental Sticks for Dogs.

For under five dollars you can give your dog a great dental clean as this toy is built with tooth and gum friendly ridges which gently remove plaque and tartar build up and food debris that can cause bad breath.

You can even put Dog toothpaste on this toy to get the best result.

It’s a safe, non toxic toy which happens to be good for his health too.

Kyjen Fleecy Clean Ball for Dogs are a cost-effective solution for those on a budget.

Made from soft fleecy non toxic material, this inexpensive dog toy is excellent for throw and catch games, and massages tartar off the teeth.

Trainers love this toy, and you can pop it into the machine for a wash.

Air Kong Squeaker Tennis Balls for Dogs are inexpensive and great fun for your dog.

Available for under 5 dollars for a pack of three, your dog will go wild chasing these durable tennis ball toys.

Air Kong Squeaker Donut Toy is another value option for under a fiver.

First the wonderful donut shape perfect for tug games, and second a surprise squeaker to put some excitement into the game.

Zanies have made the ultimate rope and ball toy, the Zanies Twin Loop Rope Toy with 2 Tennis Balls, for under five bucks.

On a final note, consider let’s look at flying saucers, a perennial favorite. It’s difficult to choose between the Westminster Pet Ruffin It Flying Saucer and Lees Pets Sky Tosser Frisbee for Dogs.

One at 10 inches, the other just two inches bigger, they are great for in and outdoor play, and Lees Pet Sky Tosser also floats in water.
