Activity Dog Toys

Choosing the Right Dog Toy

The best dog toy depends on your dog's size, age, play style and how they like to interact with their toys. Some dogs love the excitement of chasing and retrieving, while others prefer tugging, chewing, squeaking or working out how to get a treat from an interactive toy.

Dog balls and fetch toys

If your dog loves running and retrieving, dog balls and fetch toys are a great place to start. Choose a suitable size for your dog and consider where you will be playing. Some toys are designed specifically for throwing and retrieving, making them useful for active play in the garden or on walks.

Rubber and rope dog toys

Rubber and rope toys can be useful for dogs who enjoy interactive games such as tug and fetch. Rubber toys can also provide an engaging option for dogs who enjoy carrying, chasing and chewing. Always choose a toy appropriate for your dog's size and playing style.

Soft, squeaky and plush dog toys

Some dogs simply love a soft toy they can carry around, shake and cuddle. Our soft and cuddly dog toys and squeaky and plush toys include a variety of character and novelty designs. Squeakers and crinkle features can add extra interest for dogs who enjoy interactive play.

Interactive and puzzle dog toys

Play doesn't always have to involve running around. Activity dog toys and puzzle games and toys can encourage dogs to think, investigate and work for treats or food. These can be particularly useful when you want to provide your dog with something engaging to do at home.

Eco-friendly dog toys

If sustainability is an important consideration when choosing pet products, take a look at our eco-friendly dog toys. This collection includes toys made using materials such as recycled fabrics and natural fibres, giving you another option when choosing something new for your dog.

Dog Toys for Puppies and Adult Dogs

Age and size are important when choosing a dog toy. Puppies may benefit from toys designed for younger dogs and their developing teeth, while adult dogs can have very different preferences depending on their size and play style.

Whichever toy you choose, check the manufacturer's guidance and select an appropriate size for your dog. Toys should be checked regularly for signs of damage and removed if they become broken or if pieces become detached. Dogs should be supervised during play, particularly when using toys that can be chewed or damaged.
