A dog toy suits the dog who plays, and the owner who would like them busy and tired out. It is an easy yes for a new puppy, a dog who chews the furniture, a clever dog who gets bored, or a friend whose dog is part of the family. It fits Christmas, a birthday or the day a new dog comes home.
The toy that lands is the one that matches how the dog plays. A chewer wants something tough. A thinker wants a puzzle with a treat inside. A dog who lives for fetch wants a ball that goes a long way.
What to look for in a dog toy
Play style. Tough rubber toys suit chewers, soft toys suit gentle mouths, and puzzle toys suit dogs who like to work things out.
Size. Choose a toy sized for the dog. One that is too small can be swallowed, and one that is too large is no fun to carry.
Treat holders. Some toys hide treats or food, which slows a fast eater and keeps a dog busy for longer.
Ball launchers. A launcher throws the ball for you, so it suits a dog who never tires of fetch and an owner who does.
Cleaning. Rubber and plastic toys wipe or wash clean. Check the listing for care notes.
When a dog toy is the wrong gift
If you do not know the dog, the size and play style are guesses, so ask the owner first. A dog who destroys everything needs a tough toy and supervision, and a soft toy will not last an afternoon. And a puppy still teething may need a toy made for puppies, so check the listing.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good toy for a dog that chews everything?
Choose a tough rubber toy made for strong chewers, in a size that suits the dog. Many hold treats, which keeps a chewer busy for longer. Always supervise, and take away any toy that starts to break into pieces.
Are puzzle toys a good gift for dogs?
Yes, for a clever dog who gets bored. A puzzle toy hides treats that the dog has to work out how to reach. Start with an easy one, because a puzzle that is too hard only frustrates them.
What size dog toy should I buy?
Match the toy to the dog's size, and go larger if you are unsure. A toy that is too small can be swallowed, and one that is too big is hard to carry. The listing gives the size range it suits.
