I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

      Largely have to disagree with you there. The more expensive toys usually last a lot longer with my dogs.

        I agree, I’ve got a large dog and he can demolish cheap toys within hours but the good quality ones will last months

          What I meant was not cheap toys as an alternative, but random crap like socks or a twig are usually more exciting for my golden retriever instead of some great toys which last a few mins of excitement and then he’s done

        Totally depends on the pet then. My cat is not a good predator, so breakage is not a problem, but she’s very picky with what she wants to play with and most new toys can’t keep her interest for longer than 2 weeks, so it’s absolutely a waste of money to spend more. The only toy that she consistently plays with is still a random piece of rope 😅

        So the pet’s personality plays a part, but seeing the other comments, I also see a cat vs dog difference.

        Plus rabbits love cardboard. Toilet rolls and plain boxes get your surprisingly far with two rabbits! The only toys I’ll buy are the edible ones - willow tunnels for example. Watching them play with something you make is part of the joy.
