Choose for Your Dog’s Play Style
Looking Beyond Soft Plush?
If your dog quickly pulls soft toys apart, explore a different construction and activity. Our starting recommendations are the Steering Wheel Toy, Enrichment Starfish and enrichment balls, with the right choice depending on your dog’s size, chewing habits and interest in food rewards.
01 Start With the Steering Wheel
The Steering Wheel Toy is our first recommendation to consider when customers ask about an option for stronger chewing.
Its nylon outer ring and rubber centre offer a different construction from soft fabric toys. Check the product’s dimensions and suitability before choosing it for your dog.
02 Try Rubber Enrichment Designs
Our next recommendations are the Enrichment Starfish and enrichment balls. Consider these when your dog enjoys rubber toys and activities involving food rewards.
Follow each product’s instructions for filling and play. Materials, sizes and intended uses vary, so these toys should not be treated as having the same chewing resistance.
03 Match Treats to the Openings
For toys designed to hold food, choose treats that fit the openings and release as intended. Break larger pieces down where needed.
Fish n Prawn Sticks and suitably sized prawns are options for compatible openings, including those in the Enrichment Treat Ball and Diamond Rubber Bone. Avoid forcing oversized pieces into place.
Tough does not mean indestructible. Supervise play, inspect toys regularly and remove damaged toys or loose pieces. If your dog starts breaking pieces off a toy, stop the activity.
