Best Fetch Dog Toy
-
Goldens love it
My dogs are obsessed with rocks, they aren’t huge fans of regular tennis balls but these things have kept them away from rocks.
-
the color
the dogs love to play in the yard with them. Love the color so they can be pick up before we use the mower
-
eying
My pupper jumped his front paws I to the dining room table wanting them! This is the first time this has ever happened. He loves these more than any other balls to play with!
Best Dog Plush Toy
-
Size was important.
Rose covets her moose. It can be flipped around, chased after, easy to grab, ears and legs easy to chew
-
Purchased again
Our pup has all the Kong Cozies and her 2favoritesvar Marvin and Nate. After she eats she will go to her crate and bring them both out to the porch or living room. We purchased 2 more and they all now come out of the crate. She very seldom brings the others out of the crate.
-
Why does my Dog always go after the Antlers?!
I really have to monitor his play with Bullwinkle. He likes to chew on the antlers and then go after the squeaker! The boys adore playing keep away with the cute mouth.
Best Dog Puzzle Toy
-
Dog puzzle
Our dog loves it and looks forward to it when we are leaving the house he knows he gets to play it. He gets so excited.
-
Nice toy!
This toy is nice in that you can gradually increase the difficulty over time as your dog gets the hang of it!
-
Cat Loves it
I use this for my cat and it is her favorite puzzle. All the actual cat oriented puzzles I've gotten her don't take her very long to get through but because this one is oversized for her and she has to take the time to open each thing or move it out of the way it takes her longer.
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
-
kONG toy
We have an agressive chewer that’s only 10 months old and full of energy. So far toy is holding up to his use.
-
A tried and true classic!
My 50 lb pittie loves her kongs! She is a strong chewer but this holds up well. I love smearing different things inside and freezing them for her to eat later.
-
Kong dog/treat toy
For anyone with a dog, especially a puppy, I highly recommend this! Foxy, my Corgi girl puppy, is in training mode right now. She very active and tends to nip and bite when she gets bored. We’ve tried various things to settle her down, so we can take a break, and the Kong seems to be doing the trick! We put different treats in it and it’s keeping her busy and quiet for some time! Good investment!
Best Treat-Dispensing Dog Toy
-
Keeps their attention
Have had others in the past and they all held up very well even when they’re sneaked out of the house.
-
A great toy to keep dog entertained
I had the large version of this for my medium dog and realized if I had the medium it would work so much better. It is true. I put food in the ball and my dog plays with it until he works all the food out.
-
Favorite Toy
This is the only ball my bulldog hasn’t chewed and destroyed. She plays with it for hours every day. I bought a second one in case the it ever gets lost. She loves this ball so much!
Best Puppy Toy
-
Frenchies approve
My 4 Frenchies love this chew toyy, they are the perfect size and very durable... I have these on auto ship so I always have them in stock at home for them...
-
It’s kind of a multi toy.
The pups love this so much!!! They walk around with pacifier in their mouth an sometimes fall asleep with it between their feet.
Best Hide-and-Seek Dog Toy
-
Great puppy toy
My min pin puppy loves this play toy! The chip, avocado, and bowl is so cute - definitely recommend you get this for your small dog!
-
Little dude loves it!!
Our little yorkie is so excited when he sees us stuff the toys inside the bowl. He loves to stick his face in and dig them out!!
-
My dog loves this!
I thought this was adorable and my dog loves it even more. He loves to pull the items out and shake the bowl. Really surprised how much he likes it!
Best Dog Squeaky Toys
-
Lots of fun
We have two dogs (one is 40 pounds and the other is 80). They love playing tug-of-war. We love that these toys aren’t filled with synthetic stuffing for the dogs to get choked on or to get choked on. They are tough enough to withstand the rough treatment that our dogs dish out. When the dogs expose the squeaker, we remove it as a safety precaution. It doesn’t diminish the fun the dogs get from playing with these toys.
-
Cute and fairly safe
She destroys them and I have to watch with the squeakers, each has 3 in them. But they all gave her hours of distraction. And she liked to carry them outside on walks. We called the raccoon, ratty raccoon. He lasted the longest. He was in tatters no legs holes no squeakers but she seemed to carry him and bring it to us to throw for her to fetch. I’ll probably buy again.
-
Vibrant and more plush than similar things
Buffy loves these - we haven’t even given her the third one yet because they hold her attention so well.
Best Toy for Large Dogs
-
Rubber & flexible
This Frisbee is a huge hit at out dog park! Soars well and is soft enough to catch on the fly for a dog with a soft mouth. Also the dogs love the fact that they can easily pick it up on the ground!
-
Our new play-time routine
This was the first flyer that we really started to enjoy together. It's now a play-time routine and it gets the blood pumping!
-
Durable
Awesome toy for my puppy to play fetch with. He can’t break it either which is a big plus
Best Toy for Tough Chewers
-
If you have a dog that chews
My dog is 50lbs of chewing and tearing and this lasts for several days which is very unusual with similar items.
-
The value on the item for the price
My dogs absolutely love these bones. They keep them busy for hours. My dogs are 6 and 8 years old.
-
Dogs love them!
Tougher than most chew toys. My pitties go through Nylon chews so fast, but maybe it’s the actual wood, I’m not certain BUT something definitely makes these longer lasting!
