Aldi's Scented Dog Toy Smells Just Like Beef - and Pups Cannot Get Enough of It
Some dogs treat toys like a five-second mystery. They sniff them, chew for a few seconds, and they are done with it. Aldi has a toy in stock that will have your dog sticking around for a while.
While many chew toys lose their appeal the moment the novelty wears off, the Nerf Scented Dog Toy has a special scent that keeps dogs coming back for more.

Nerf Scented Dog Toy, Beef Bar Bell, $6.99 at Aldi
The Nerf Scented Dog Toy at Aldi has all the ingredients to become one of your dog's favorite toys. Easy-to-grab shape? Check. Engaging scent? Check. Opportunities for interactive play? Check.
A dog's nose can smell up to 10,000 times better than humans. The moment you walk home with this toy, the beef scent will have your dog curious about what's in the bag. (The toy is also available in chicken and bacon scents.)
The design is something your dog will love as well. The barbell shape is practical, with the narrow center grip giving dogs something to clamp onto and carry. Different than a standard ball toy, the rounded ends make it rewarding for your pup to chew on.

Fun Ways to Play With Your Dog
Often, dog toys end up in a corner because pet parents do not know what to do beyond tossing them once. The Nerf Scented Dog Toy gives you a few more options.
Fetch works because the shape creates an irregular bounce, making it all the more interesting for your pup, who will have to quickly guess where the toy will land next.
Tug is another option because its wide ends give you and your dog something to grip.
Thanks to its beef scent, the toy is perfect for mental stimulation. Hide the toy somewhere in the house and let your dog use their nose to find it.
Remember, the best dog toys create moments, not just entertainment.
