Read MoreAre Soft Toys Right for Your Dog?
Plush dog toys are not a one-size-fits-all choice. For the right dog they are a genuine source of comfort and entertainment, but for others they last about five minutes. Knowing your dog’s play style before you buy saves money and keeps them safe.
- Plush toys are ideal for gentle chewers, dogs that like to carry things around and dogs that find comfort in a soft, familiar toy to curl up with
- Squeaky toys satisfy the hunting instinct while remaining soft and gentle, making them a popular choice for smaller breeds and less destructive dogs
- Plush toys are not recommended for heavy chewers, who will quickly get through soft materials and may ingest the stuffing inside
- If your dog destroys soft toys quickly, a durable rubber or nylon toy is a safer and more practical choice
Frequently Asked Questions
Plush toys are safe for gentle chewers and dogs that enjoy carrying and cuddling a soft toy. Always supervise your dog with soft toys and replace them as soon as they become damaged. Avoid plush toys for heavy chewers, as destroyed stuffing and squeakers can be swallowed and cause harm.
