Hi

Hope all is well with you and your dog.

When choosing the right signature toy for your dog, you should consider several factors.

Even when selecting dog toys that are made by signature and high-end labels, you should weigh in several things aside from price and manufacturers.

Roller DogHere are sometips on choosing the right toys for your dog. Toys for the dogs should be enjoyable and fun. But, at the same time, you should check whether the toys are durable and safe. What if your dog accidentally chokes because it swallowed a part of its toy? Toy safety should be of paramount concern.

The safety and durability of a dog toy depends on many factors - such as the size of your dog, its activity level, as well as your and your dog’s personal preference. Ask dog-owning friends or family members for tips. Consult with your vet if needed on what toys should you buy for your dog.

Be careful when choosing the toys. In general, the toys that dogs find most attractive are the ones that could pose the greatest danger. Check with the store staff of the features of toys. Evaluate if some toys could be dangerous to your dog.

Choosing the perfect size of the toys.

Do not buy dog toys that are so small that can be easily swallowed or could cause your dog to choke. Do not, on the other hand, pick toys that are way too big and heavy for your dog, as it would not enjoy the toy. Pick a toy that is just perfect for the size of your pet.

Check that any part of the toy cannot fall off or break.

Look out for toys that may have parts that are not dog proof. Some of the parts a dog could chew or ingest are strings, eyes, ribbons, among others. Avoid such toys.

Dog toys that are squeaky and soft are good for some dogs. Some dogs that are gentler can play well with designer toys that are soft and squeaky. Some, however, like to play rough with the designer toys that they have. Ask your vet for any tips on what kind of designer toys should you buy your dog.

You could also check the store staff or surf through the Internet for additional information on toys. Designer toys are fun but you have to also look for other concerns such as the toy’s safetyfor your dog.

Dog Toys for the Brain, Teeth and Feet

Thinking of the best toys that suit your dog? Browse through the dog toys below and see what fits your pet and your budget.

For dogs who love to chew:

1. Kong Jumping Jack

Kong Jumping Jack is a dog toy and a teeth cleaner and gum exerciser at the same time. It has a very unpredictable bounce that makes it a lot more fun for the dog to play with. It has a lot more surfaces that clean your dogs teeth. Kong Jumping Jack also has slits that are useful for the gums to be exercised.

2. SquirrelDude (Busy Buddy)

This is a unique and innovative rubber toy. It has four rubber prongs that cover the hole a bit which challenge the dog to give more effort to taste the food treats inside. The Squirrel Dude is durable and very chewable.

3. BiscuitBlock (Animal Planet)

Licking my chopsThis chew toy has four grabbing chambers distributed throughout the toy. Varieties of dog treats can be inserted inside to keep your pets happy and busy. It has a crazy bounce brought about by its square shape with cut corners.

4. BallStomper (Launch and Throw Ball Toys)

This dog toy enables both young and old to have a great time playing with their dogs. The Ball Stomper is the first ball launcher of its kind. The ball needs to be loaded, then stomped on so it will eject to a height reaching 100 feet with the regular ball.

The mini BallStomper can reach up to a height of 60 feet. This toy has its own ball but tennis balls are a good substitute. This toy is tough, water proof and very dog friendly. This is not chew-proof though so it should be kept after using.

The dimension of a regular-sized Ball Stomper is 12 inches in length that uses a tennis ball sized ball. The smaller type is 9 inches long and uses a ball with the size of 2 inches.

4. DinosaurEgg Baby (Plush Puppies) Intelligence Building Toy

The Dinosaur EggBaby has three eggs inside that give out a squeaking sound. It has a secret opening underneath to test dog’s instinct in getting hidden rewards. It is 6 inches in height, 5 inches wide and 12 inches long.

These are toys that exercise dogs, cleanse their teeth, rejuvenate their jumping ability and test their intelligence. A complete set of these toys would definitely make owners be much more loved by their pets.

    I would like to find some toys that all my dogs can play with… even at the same time. Tugs are okay but my border collie gets protective of them.
