How to choose
Match the toy to how your dog plays
Chewers need something hard and durable. Fetch dogs need a ball that floats and bounces. Food-motivated dogs love a treat dispenser. Most dogs enjoy a mix, so keep two or three toy types in rotation.
Size matters
Choose a toy sized for your dog's weight and mouth. Too small is a choking risk, and too large will not hold. Each brand lists weight ranges, so follow them.
No toy is indestructible
SodaPup says no dog toy is indestructible. Supervise chewing, inspect the toy regularly and replace it if it is damaged or pieces break off.
