Best Fetch Dog Toy
-
Durable and great bounce
Our pup loves these balls. They last a long time because they’re more durable than most and they retain their shape long after others get mishaped.
-
Great for heavy chewers
My dogs love balls but they’re heavy chewers so tennis balls do not normally last long in our house. These balls are durable and have quickly become a household staple for our pups.
-
Great balls, dog loves them
A great replacement for the cheap tennis balls we've been using. the dog seems to like them better and they are more visible on the lawn in case he doesn't find them. I like them.
Best Dog Plush Toy
-
Great quality
I wash all my dogs soft toys each week. This toy has stood the test of time and is still one of their favorites.
-
He's pretty tough!
This guy is my recent rescue dog's "security blanket". He is fearful of alot right now, but he knows to go get "bullwinkle" and have a good play when he is stressed.
-
Moosie
Poor Moosie lasted approximately 15 min and was rushed to sewing table for emergency squeekerectomy with several bite mark repairs. Moosie recovered well and is hiding in the sewing room until the doodle can treat him nicely. Great addition to the sewing room shelf! Moosie is happy and feeling better.
Best Dog Puzzle Toy
-
dog loved this
her little brain worked so hard to figure it out is was like i took her for a 5 mile hike
-
Great fun!
I bought this for our 11 yr old 10 pound Yorkie mix as a new way to get her to use her nose and brain. After taking the white bones off, I filled all the compartments with little bits of her favorite treats. I had to show her how to slide and open the red blocks at first, but she quickly picked up the idea. I then refilled all of the compartments with bits of different treats and she was able to do most of it herself the 2nd time. I very closely monitored her throughout the whole activity and there were no issues. I definitely do not recommend allowing a dog of any age using this unsupervised, as it would be too easy to damage the...
-
Fun and gets them thinking
My dog loves this toy. You can see her thinking it out, trying to solve it, which is really cool. I like watching her use her head. She did take some of the pieced off and chewed them- that's on me for leaving it with her unattended and smelling like treats. But it's a sturdy toy and holds up after having it for a couple of years now
Best Tug-of-War Toy for Dogs
-
Good distraction
This is a good distraction during quiet time when Loki isn't trying to throw it around. He has managed to tear at the strings, but they come off in little pieces, unlike most of the rope-style toys.
-
Cotton rope with bones
Both of my strong teeth dog chewers like this product. I have repurchased this item. Dogs may eventually chew the rope away, but they still enjoy chewing on the bones. I would recommend this product.
-
Not sharing
Both of our dogs love this toy, I may have to buy another because there is a lot of whining while waiting your turn.
Best Dog Chew Toy
-
Perfect Size & Durability
Our 2 Frenchies have small but mighty mouths and can’t destroy these as quickly as other toys. Stuffing them with treats keeps their attention for almost an hour!
-
Sturdy
My dog has chewed up many toys, even the ones that are supposed to be indestructible. She can still manage to chew up a kong but it takes a lot longer than others.
-
Durable
Had to buy 2 more 2 dogs. Like to keep them rotated in the freezer One from another brand dog can chew off. Kong is durable for hard chewers
Best Treat-Dispensing Dog Toy
-
Great!
My dogs really like it, but I think to start.I got them a size that was too big and I think I put treats that were too big into it so it's really hard for them
-
Treat dispensing ball
Hey, My little guy is having so much fun trying to get at his treat treat as we call it. He’s making me laugh so hard. The more I laugh the more he goes after it. He’s rolling it all over the floor and pawing it. Then he barks and jumps around. He’s loving this ball. This is the only one that makes it fun for him. The others either have too big of a hole or he can’t get the food at all. But this one has been lots of stimulation and fun for him.
-
This ball is awesome.
This ball has with stood years. I foster dogs and I have since purchased this ball several times because I wanted more of them. It has never been hurt by my heavy chewers and it is an amazing bouncing ball that we play outside.
Best Puppy Toy
-
One of Max favorites
My yorkie puppy Max loves this teething toy. Nylabone make great teething toys for puppies. I will be buying more.
-
Don't tell my puppy
She is no longer a puppy but loves her pacifier so much that i am compelled to buy her another.
-
Nylabone Puppy Pacifier is great for teethers!
Has 3 surfaces to chew: the green ring, the pink pacifier & the blue bone so it’s bright & attractive & adequate teething ring to small & maybe medium-sized puppies
Best Hide-and-Seek Dog Toy
-
Super cute!
This toy is so fun! The dog loves to pull out the pieces, and it’s funny to have a random chip or avocado in random places around the house. Since it’s only four pieces it’s not overwhelming.
-
Adorable
I bought this puzzle toy fur Tuk and Mollys new cousin Cooper. Got it for him for Valentines Day. The little guy is 12 weeks old and loves this toy. Multiple toys in one to stay busy. I would recommend this.
-
the look
My dog loved this and it was perfect to give him a little challenge. He did manage to obliterate the avocado leaving stuffing everywhere, but that's usually what he does.
Best Dog Squeaky Toys
-
Perfect squeeky toy
My dog absolutely loves these. She loves very squeeky toys and these are perfect!!! This is our second purchase of this pack.
-
Super simple toy they absolutely love
They aren't as tough as some others, but the dogs love tossing them around and the squeaker lasts a decent amount of time
-
Good quality
These things are holding up surprising well I only lost one so far because they decided to play tug a war with it and well you can imagine what eventually happened. Haha
Best Toy for Large Dogs
-
My puppy has not chewed it up yet!
It is flexible and durable! My puppy loves to fold it over and run around with it in her mouth.
-
Soft
My puppy loves this disc. It's soft silicone so if he misses catching it, and it hits him in the head it doesn't seem to bother him lol also it's heavy enough to get some great distance.
-
Buddys Favorite
Our dog LOVES playing frisbee. Unfortunately, we have to buy this one every other month. He just bites thru it and it won't fly anymore. Not strong enough for Buddy
Best Toy for Tough Chewers
-
So far so good
Our year old beagle has gone thru every chew toy we've given her within a couple of days until we bought this one. She has managed to mark it up some and one of the ends is a little rough but after 4 weeks it is holding up well and it is also one of her favorite toys
-
My Belgian Malinois puppy loves this
My Belgian Malinois puppy loves this and it keeps him quiet. It does make a mess, but he can gnaw on it for hours making only little dents. It definitely is messy and needs to be vacuumed up when we're done playing, but it's worth it!
-
great imatation stick
my puppy picks up everything on our walks and wants to chew on every stick. i set these chew sticks out for her to find. She gets so excited and i don't have to worry about what she is chewing on for a while! they are very durable.
