    Hi Guys,

    I wanna treat my two dogs to a new toy and was thinking about the 'bacon bubble machine'.

    Does anyone know of any stockists in Ireland that do these at a reasonable price? Any site I search online are either out of stock or have seriously inflated prices

    Thanks for the help!

    Its a buble blowing machine with bacon flavoured bubbles that the dogs can chase around the garden lol

    My two would love it but any sites with it reasonably priced are all sold out :(

    They need a new toy and I thought it would give them a bit of extra excercise too hehe

    You can get the bubbles in Ireland but unless your dog is into bubbles they may not bother with it. I had the regular bubbles, like kids bubbles but bacon flavour one played with it a few times but after that weren't bothered.

    Probably better off with squeeky toys or summit. The Kong brand make some good quality toys, there's a tennis ball they have that squeeks. Mine love them.

    Or check out zooplus.ie or as said ebay

    I had a small bubble machine for the dogs, with the bacon bubbles and none of them were interested, so I wouldn't advise anyone to waste their money.

    Kongs are brilliant, especially if you fill them with something and then freeze it for a few hours, takes my dogs a long time to empty one. Or there are lots of games that you can get that make the dogs have to work to get a treat, check out zooplus, they have lots of great toys for dogs.

    My kitties love bubbles lets know were you find one, I wouldn't give them to my collie as I think he bangs hie head often enough with out chasing bubbles in to the walls, daft ald thing, can't see the other two being to interest. The pet shop near me sells chicken flavoured ones for 9.99. way to pricey for something I'd have to put energy into.But cats love them especialy when you turn a fan on as well for them to chase them.

    You can get catnip bubbles you know.

    hi,

    Theres a great new website selling them www.k9komforts.ie I just bought one of them and a mega tasty bone for my great dane and he loves them! :D

    We gave up on bought toys long since, when we saw the preference was for a plastic plantpot ( endless fun as she races round with it over her head etc) a ball ( E1) and a knotted sock.....

    They always have bones also.

    Seems the toys are more for the owner than the dog:)

    My mad missy's fav toy is a squashed brown plastic bottle (she prefers brown to clear or white!?!). She has loads of bought toys, but loves her bottle....hours spent flipping & chasing.
