The Best Dog Toys2024 Review

The KONG – Classic Dog Toy is well known among dog owners and professionals alike, and with good reason! This toy is durable, well-made, and multi-functional. If you’re looking for the best treat dispensing dog toy, the KONG is an excellent choice: you can fill it with spreadable treats or small solid treats for hours of fun.

Used as a treat dispenser, this toy provides plenty of mental stimulation. It can even be used as a chew toy for average chewers, or to play fetch with to provide physical stimulation. A range of sizes are available to suit all breeds. 

The KONG is a staple in our house and is loved by all of us. I find it keeps my dogs busy for long periods and really gets their mind working. I love that you can put it in the freezer filled with a spreadable treat (our dogs love dog-safe peanut butter) to make playtime last even longer.

The Outward Hound Hide A Squirrel Plush Dog Toy Puzzle is 1 of the best plush puzzle dog toys on the market, designed to really get your pooch’s mind working. Plush squirrels hide inside a plush tree trunk, encouraging your dog to use their natural hunting and digging instincts to get the squirrels out. Playtime doesn’t end once they free the squirrels: the squirrels are squeaky to stimulate your dog even further mentally and physically.

This puzzle is available in a wide range of sizes to suit all breeds. I found that it was mentally engaging for my dogs, especially for my small breeds who love a plush toy. I liked that we could play fetch with the squirrels or even hide them around the house for my dogs to find.

If your dog loves a chew toy, look no further than the Benebone Durable Wishbone Dog Chew Toy for Aggressive Chewers. This chew is highly durable, designed to stand up to tough chewers, and be long-lasting. The unique wishbone shape makes it easier for your dog to hold and chew. 

These bones come in a range of sizes to suit all breeds, and I loved that they even had a choice of flavours. My spaniel loves her benebone, it keeps her busy for hours and it’s lasted months so far. This toy provides plenty of mental and physical stimulation, and can even help to redirect destructive chewing. 

If your dog loves a plush toy, the KONG – Wild Knots Bear is an excellent choice. This cute teddy is plush and soft, yet also durable. It has minimal stuffing, so if your dog does chew through it, you have less mess to clean up. 

It even has knotted ropes inside the teddy to engage your dog further. I found this toy was cute and durable for my dogs. It was great for fetch, tug, and snuggle time.

I loved that it was very stimulating and kept all 3 of my dogs engaged in playtime. This teddy is available in 4 sizes to suit most breeds.

If you’re on the hunt for the best dog ball, the Chuckit Ultra Ball should be at the top of your list. It’s made from natural rubber, designed to be highly durable and extra bouncy for a stimulating game of fetch. These balls even float in water so you can enjoy playtime in any environment.

My springer spaniel truly loves these balls, she will play fetch for long periods and carry her ball around with pride. We got a pack of 2 which was great value, although the first 1 is still going strong. I loved that they are bright colours which are easy to find if she gets distracted and doesn’t bring it back. 

These balls bounce much higher than others we’ve tried and get her jumping and leaping during playtime. These balls are available in 3 sizes to suit most breeds and can be bought in packs of 1 or 2.

The Petface (Little Petface) Puppy Dog Toy is 1 of the best puppy toys available, providing a snuggly, soft friend for your pup. This toy is gentle on your puppy’s mouth and a perfect naptime buddy. It also squeaks to provide an engaging playtime. 

This toy is available in 1 size, perfect for growing puppies or even for toy or small breed dogs. My chihuahua loved this toy because it was soft enough to fit in her mouth. This toy even comes in a choice of animal shapes, allowing you to choose what will suit your puppy best.

If you’re looking for something mentally stimulating for your dog, the Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Dog Tornado Interactive Treat Puzzle Dog Toy is an excellent choice. Hide treats inside and this puzzle will keep your dog engaged for long periods. This puzzle is intermediate (level 2) in difficulty, with 12 hidden compartments and 3 dog bone covers to allow you to vary the challenge and keep your dog interested. 

This puzzle is available in 1 size but is suitable for most breeds. I found this puzzle was very engaging for my dogs and I enjoyed really seeing their minds working while they tried to figure it out.

The KONG – Tugga Wubba – Durable Cotton Rope Tug of War Dog Toy is 1 of the best tug of war dog toys, made from woven rope and strong nylon for durability. 2 easy-grip ends allow both you and your dog to get a good hold, making for a great game of tug. This toy encourages interactive play and is very engaging.

3 sizes are available to suit most breeds, although this listing features a large size, suitable for medium to large breeds. I found this toy sturdy, easy to grip, and fun to play with. My spaniel loved this toy, enjoying both games of tug and throwing the toy around during solo play.

The Newthinking Squeaky Dog Toys is an excellent choice if your dog loves a plush toy but tends to chew their toys up (supervised play is still recommended). You get 5 toys in 1 pack, making them fantastic value for money. They contain no stuffing, so there’s less clean-up for you!

Each toy contains 2 squeakers for a stimulating playtime, getting your dog’s mind working and their body moving. They come in 1 size but are suitable for most breeds. I loved that there were 5 different cute, plush characters in this pack and my dogs loved these toys.

If you’re on the hunt for the best rope dog toy, the XL Dog Rope Toys for Strong Large Dogs could be the 1 for you. This rope is very strong and durable, designed to last during rough games of tug and stand up to average chewing. 4 knots throughout the rope provide great grip points for tug and strengthen the rope.

This toy is available in 1 size, designed for medium and large breeds. I found this rope long-lasting and entertaining for my spaniel. I liked the bright colours and felt the rope was more durable than others I’d tried.
