Zippy Paws recently released a fun collection of back to school-themed dog toys that are modeled after popular school supplies. The fun range for dogs includes soft toys that are styled like lunch boxes, crayons, snacks and even notepads with a bite taken out of them to reference the classic "dog ate my homework" excuse. Notably, the brightly colored Durable Firehose Crayons are made with real firehose and other toys encourage stimulating, high-level interactive play.
While the Back to School Collection includes plenty of fun dog toys that can be purchased individually, Zippy Paws also sells the entire Back to School Set in a clear backpack. These themed dog toys promise to be anything but a chore to shop for.
