Chewish and Kosher Hanukkah Dog Toys: image via neatoshop.comChewish has, more or less, become the special attribution of pets
who live with Jewish persons. Or maybe it’s just a great hook to sell
more pet toys for Hanukkah. In any case, there are some real fun toys
for cats and dogs who qualify – chewers, chasers, and swatters, who
should not be left out of the Hanukkah festivities that begin early
this year on Thanksgiving eve.
Here are 10 especially fun gifts for Chewish pets, sure to get some laughs from their owners….

2. Hanukkah Gelt Dog Squeaker Toy
Gelt is Yiddish for money and Hanukkah is a time of year when money, coins particularly, is given to children as gifts. The Hanukkah Gelt Dog Squeaker Toy is shaped like a purse which might hold gelt. The motto on the toy reads "In Dogs We Trust."

6. Plush Bagel & Cream Cheese Squeaker Dog Toy
Though bagels and cream cheese should not be part of Chewish dogs diets, they still crave it. So the Plush Bagel & Cream Cheese Squeaker Dog Toy allows them to release that frustration and have some fun too. Yes, there’s an adorable Lox Squeaker Dog Toy too.

7. Gefilte Fish Squeaky Toy For Chewish Dogs
Just as ‘lox’ is not really a fish (it’s salmon), gefilte fish is not really a fish, but a method of serving whitefish, carp, or pike, typically served on Jewish holidays. Therein lies the funny part, or irony, of this Gefilte Fish Sqeaky Dog Toy in traditional Hanukkah blue and white colors.

10. Schmutz Octopus Chewish Dog Squeaker Toy
Perhaps my personal favorite, though not strictly for Hanukkah (but it will work!), the Schmutz Octopus Dog Squeaker Toy is really funny. The octopus, you will notice, is black. Octopus ink? Maybe…. But schmutz is Yiddish for yucky stuff… the kind of stuff a dog might enjoying wearing. But you won’t if you step in it.

Remember, Hanukkah starts the evening of November 27, 2012 and ends on the evening of December 5, 2013. Happy Hanukkah to all your Chewish pets.
