8 Best Dog Toys In The UK

Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Dog Brick Interactive Treat Puzzle Dog Toy, Intermediate

To keep boredom and destructive habits at bay, your puppy or young dog needs daily stimulation. This level-two puzzle toy is the ultimate brain game for your smart dog.

The aim of the game is for your pet to retrieve kibble or snacks from the various treats compartments by lifting flaps, sliding blocks, nuzzling, and sniffing out tasty surprises.

If you’re struggling to bond with an anxious puppy who’s new to the family, this toy might earn you their loyalty, trust and love while bringing out their fun and curious nature.

This puzzle can be used to slow down your pet’s fast eating to avoid digestive upsets.

One minor pitfall is that the toy isn’t suitable for aggressive chewers. Although the removable parts are too large to be swallowed, they can be bit into.

Check out our guide to the best puzzle dogs if your smart pooch already mastered this one.

Nylabone Dura Chew Extreme Tough Dog Chew Toy Bone, Allergen Free Peanut Butter Flavour, L, for Dogs...

Consisting of durable nylon, this synthetic bone from Nylabone is designed for puppies who chew everything.

This extreme chew toy will entice your good boy because it looks like an authentic bone but without the dangers of a real one.

The taste of peanut butter, irresistible to your pet, can’t be licked off, which means your dog will enjoy endless hours tucking into his favourite, flavour-filled bone.

Not just a tool to channel your pet’s destructive behaviours, the bone features a mini toothbrush that activates when your dog chews to prevent plaque and tartar building. 

Although the chew bone might last a while, it will eventually need to be replaced. Monitor these toys regularly.

If the knuckle ends look worn and spiky, discard immediately. These sharp ends can cause bleeding and tiny chunks may be accidentally swallowed.

Rosewood Maisie Mouse Dog Toy

Rosewood Maisie Mouse is a great cuddle toy and sleep companion for soft natured pets.

As the toy is made from soft, plush material, your pet can carry it around without hurting his teeth or mouth.

Maisie Mouse will get dirty quickly, particularly if she’s your puppy’s favourite toy. However, you can plop her into the washing machine, and she will come out looking brand new.

The squeaker inside the toy adds to your pet’s enjoyment of the toy. However, since the squeaker is made from plastic, supervise your pet as he plays to avoid ingestion.

It may not be the best choice if your pet like chewing a lot. It may not last if your pet has a track record for destroying toys. The stuffing, together with the squeaker, could be choking hazards.

Although you will have to teach your pet initially, this activity toy is suitable for all breeds.

Depending on your dog’s ability to find the hidden treats, you can make the challenge easier or harder for optimal enjoyment in the game.

Although a great brain teaser, the plastic base and accessories used to hide the snacks could sometimes be brittle and breakable.

Giant breeds or boisterous pets might easily damage the product by stepping on it or chewing on the detachable pieces.

The product will last longer if your pet is a disciplined and gentle pooch who doesn’t chew on everything he can find.

It’s a time-consuming activity that will keep your over energetic dog from getting bored or hungry between meals.

Not just a snack’s holder, this chew toy bounces around in different directions to add to your pet’s excitement.

The excellent rubber material ensures maximum bounce ability that your hound will love to chase. What’s even better is that the ball is suitable for all dogs, including large breeds with strong and powerful jaws.

Minimal damage and few punctures have been reported, with the ball remaining intact and lasting much longer than toys he shreds to pieces within seconds. 

Instead of adding small pieces of kibble that doesn’t fit the hole, consider spooning peanut butter or yoghurt inside.

If your pet’s on a diet or needs to lose weight, you don’t need to add snacks, the bacon flavour released as he chews the toy will be enough of an enticement.

KONG - Dragon Knots - Internal Knotted Ropes and Minimal Stuffing for Less Mess (Assorted Colours) -...

Combining an internal rope, crinkly wings, and a squeaker, this Kong toy will stimulate your pet in a variety of different ways.

Although soft, this cute toy is sturdier than it looks. The outer plush material is attached to the durable inside rope.

That said if your dog is an aggressive biter, this toy might not be the best fit because it's not advertised as a chew toy.

Small dogs that like to rough house will enjoy playing with this toy. However, it’s not suitable for big dogs who tug hard.

Although unusually sturdy for a plush toy, it's unlikely to last more than a couple of months if your pet plays with it regularly.

If the toy does break apart at the seams, as a health precaution, there is minimal stuffing inside.

Overall, the toy is cute, enjoyed by pets, and is somewhat durable. However, it's not something that will last years.
