Such toys can even help modify behavior, including destruction and separation anxiety since the mental stimulation from the game provides an excellent distraction for your dog. The idea is that you either chill the Nylabone, or fill it with dog treats, then let your puppy have fun with it. You can even fill it with paste like peanut butter, so really there are no ends to what you can put in it.

Ideal for small, medium and large dogs, these 7-inch-long stuffed toys will keep your pup busy and entertained for hours. Super plush and durable enough for all but the most aggressive of chewers, these toys are the perfect way to spoil your pup and also make a great gift for a fellow pet parent. There are three different sizes available here (small, medium, and large) so you can easily find one to match your dog. We love the way that the toy bounces in erratic and fun fashions when it rebounds off a hard surface – the unpredictable nature will keep your pooch entertained far more than the average tennis ball.

If you’ve got a dog that likes to destroy their toys, look for more durable ones that will hopefully last a bit longer. Although they can be more expensive, if you keep hold of them for a while, they can be better value for money. If your pooch is gentler, then you’ve got scope to go for cheaper and less durable options. Although there are plenty of hidden compartments, none of the parts are removable, which should give you peace of mind while your dog is playing. However, dogs should still be supervised when playing with this toy, especially if they are known for destructive behaviors, just in case. While it's a great toy for puppies, there are a number of things that you should bear in mind before buying. Firstly, it's intended for dogs weighing less than 35 pounds, and you should really adhere to this recommendation, as the last thing you want is your puppy getting over-exuberant and destroying it.

It's surprisingly tougher than it looks in the durability stakes too: expect a bit of batter here and there, but its teddy-like design should stay together for most dog breed types. The bear is available in a range of sizes, so you can match it perfectly to the size of your dog. The larger one is ideal for playing tug, or for two dogs to play with each other.Its classic bowling pin shape makes it easier for dogs to grab onto with their mouths, and the tough, natural rubber is designed to be durable. Inside the pins are squeakers, adding to the fun and excitement of the toy. The set also comes in three different sizes and assorted bright colors (pink, yellow, orange, and blue), adding more interest for your playful pup. If you're looking for a toy that you can throw, stuff, and bounce and that will hold up to heavy chewing then look no further because this KONG toy really does do it all! One of the most popular toys on the market (and for good reason), it provides outstanding mental and physical enrichment. Since the toy appears to have a life of its own, it’s likely to keep your pet amused for several hours, and is well suited to dogs who are easily bored by conventional toys. Some dogs may be scared of the toy at first, but tips are supplied to help them get used to it, including using treats to encourage them to play with it.

If you’re after an indestructible, squeaky toy that your dog can happily chew on for hours on end, this bowling pin set from JW is a great option. You can control the toy from your phone (“drive mode”), while it will also “react” to what your pet is doing and require no input from you (“interactive mode”). The battery has been designed to last for 40 minutes in drive mode, but up to four hours in interactive mode. The bone can respond to being chased, being touched, being ignored, and more. Despite being an electronic gadget, it is easy to clean with detachable tires and a protective cover. This is where we’ve got you covered. Just like we’ve already looked at the best cat toys, in this round-up, we’ve selected our favorite choices for dogs that look at durability, suitability for different types of dog personalities, and whether the dog toy makes a noise or contains stuffing.Featuring a multi-layer construction, this toy is durable enough to hold up to light and medium chewers, and the circular design allows for easy rolling across hardwood or tile floors in the home. It's great for rolling and fetching, and the bright colors will make it easy for your dog to spot. As well as being more fun to play with, it features non-abrasive felt designed to be gentle on your pup’s teeth, unlike a standard tennis ball that can be rougher. Super soft dog toy with a fun squeaker and minimal stuffing. The skeleton of the toy is made from knotted rope and then reinforced with plush for more durability. Colour cannot be chosen.KONG Wild Knots Bears are fluffy on the outside and strong inside, meaning that they are great for cuddling. The bear’s knotted rope core gives the toy its durability and encourages your dog to chew, while the small squeaker inside also stimulates play. It’s a good idea to give your dog’s toys a good clean every once in a while. Although you don’t need to be overly fastidious about it, dog toys are a bit of a breeding ground for things like bacteria, mould and mildew so it’s worth keeping an eye on them.

The risk of this is relatively low compared to other toys, however. With so many squeakers to find (there are 12 in the XXL version), it should keep even the strongest dogs occupied for quite some time. The manufacturer claims that the squeakers should continue to squeak, even if punctured. Again, we think that this will depend on how destructive your dog is, but it’s good news for those whose dogs aren't into wanton vandalism. At 4.7 inches in diameter, this durable dog ball plush dog toy is slightly larger than a softball and has an incredibly lightweight and soft design that will ensure you can play games with your dog indoors without having any of your precious belongings destroyed in the process!

The body of the toy is made from a tough polycarbonate, so it should withstand some chewing – but it’s worth supervising your pet while playing with the toy, especially when they are first using it. The manufacturers state that it is not recommended for “strong chewers”, so be wary if that describes your canine pal.
