Choose Toys Based on Your Dog — Not Just the Product

A toy that works beautifully for one dog may be a poor choice for another. Consider your dog's size, chewing behavior, play style, age, and how the toy will actually be used.

  • Consider your dog's size and age.
  • Match the toy to your dog's play style.
  • Consider whether your dog is a gentle or strong chewer.
  • Choose toys that are appropriately sized.
  • Inspect toys regularly for damage or wear.
