Posted by XXOO Pets Family on

Dog toys are not just a nice extra for our four-legged friends, but an important component for their physical and mental stimulation. Whether for puppies or adult dogs – the right toy can help reduce stress, prevent boredom, and even promote dental health. In this article, we will show you the different types of dog toys, what to look for when choosing, and how to properly care for them.

Types of Dog Toys

Dog toy that moves

This toy responds to touch or moves automatically. Ideal for dogs that love to hunt, catch, or move quickly. Especially active dogs benefit from it, as their hunting instincts are stimulated.

💪 Dog toy that doesn't break

Many dog owners are looking for an indestructible dog toy. While there is no truly unbreakable toy, robust models made of TPR (thermoplastic rubber) or natural rubber can withstand even strong jaws for a long time.

🎵 Dog toy that squeaks

Toys with squeakers stimulate playfulness and provide additional engagement. Pay attention to safety here – the squeaker should be securely integrated.

  • Bone shape – classic & popular
  • Tierformen – stimulate the play instinct
  • Minimalist Design – ideal for style-conscious pet owners
