About
Most dogs love toys. They shake, catch, roll, chew, and cuddle with them. Toys also stimulate a dog’s brain, keep them from getting bored, help burn energy, and comfort them when they’re nervous. But not every dog likes every kind of toy and not every toy can survive even a single play session with a determined pet. We tested several types of toys with dogs of all ages, sizes, and play styles.
We considered how engaged the dogs were, as well as the toys’ durability, the overall value, and how easy they were for the dogs (and their humans) to play with. We also provide information on where you can buy the toys we recommend so you can be well-informed when it comes to providing your dog with suitable toys.
