“One of my dogs loves squeaky toys, but my Jack Russell mix likes to tear them apart, so right now I have a love-hate with that,” explained the model, who shares three dogs with longtime boyfriend Justin Verlander. “I have pieces of stuffed animal spread all over my house, so I don’t really like those! I just go for a standard bone, any kind of animal bone is great. I also love Frisbees or tennis balls, bones. We have a lot of baseballs laying around the house, so my boxer goes crazy for those.”

Upton, 23, added that she’s a fan of personalized dog bowls and beds (“I think it’s so cute”), and likes being able to snuggle up with her furry pals at home.

“Our dogs are spoiled. We have a dog bed in every single room,” the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model said. “So they can always be next to us without jumping on the white couch. … We have all different kinds [of dog beds], but I like the ones that lay flat so that when I’m watching TV, I can lay in the bed with my dogs and snuggle them.”
