What to look for

Chew-strength match

Pick toys rated for your dog's chewing power — power chewers need tougher rubber.

Safety first

Avoid small parts that can be swallowed and choose non-toxic, vet-recommended materials.

Enrichment value

Puzzle and treat toys provide mental stimulation that reduces boredom and destructive behaviour.

Easy to clean

Dishwasher-safe or rinseable toys stay hygienic with regular use.

Frequently asked questions

Look for toys specifically rated for power chewers — solid natural rubber designs are durable and safer than toys that splinter or shed small pieces.
