Dog Toys
How to choose dog toys
Material
Material is the core decision. Rubber and nylon suit strong jaws, while plush and cotton suit gentle players.
Colour
Colour follows function. Choose yellow, orange, or pink from the range for the park, or brown and black for home.
Format
Format within Dog Supplies varies. Some buyers need storage baskets to pair with toys, others want the toy alone.
Play style
Play style drives the pick. Tugs with handles need a human hand, while latex and silicone toys work for solo chewing.
Scale
Scale matters. Large breeds need thick cotton rope and big rubber balls, while small dogs suit lightweight vinyl and plastic.
What's good
- Rubber and nylon chews outlast plush cotton toys for dogs that shred soft items.
- Within Dog Supplies, storage baskets keep rubber balls and plush toys sorted in one spot.
- Fleece and cotton rope tugs are machine washable, keeping them hygienic after muddy park trips.
- Bright red, yellow, or orange latex and silicone toys are easy to spot in long grass.
- The grid below shows which of these materials and colours are in stock.
Things to watch
- Plush polyester and cotton squeaker toys fail fast with a power chewer. They suit gentle players only.
- Rope tugs with rubber ball handles need more open space than a simple cotton rope does.
- Polyester and cotton storage baskets won't contain wet or dirty toys like a sealed plastic box would.
- Personalised interactive fleece rope toys require forward planning, as they are not a grab and go pick.
Care & maintenance
Wash rope tugs
Machine wash cotton and fleece tugs to lift mud after outdoor play.
Rinse hard toys
Rinse rubber and plastic balls under a tap to clear saliva and dirt.
Inspect chews
Check nylon and vinyl chews for sharp edges, and retire them once worn smooth or cracked.
Dry plush
Air dry plush toys fully to stop mildew building inside the stuffing.
