Toys Guide
Toys are more than just fun. They can help pets burn energy, relieve boredom, satisfy natural instincts, build confidence, and strengthen the bond between pets and their people.
The best toy depends on your pet’s play style.
Types of Dog Toys
Chew Toys
Chew toys are designed for pets who love to gnaw. They can help redirect chewing away from shoes, furniture, and other household items.
Plush Toys
Plush toys are great for pets who like to carry, cuddle, squeak, or gently play. Some plush toys are made with extra reinforcement for more enthusiastic players.
Tug Toys
Tug toys are ideal for interactive play and can help pets burn energy while engaging with their person.
Fetch Toys
Balls, discs, and toss toys are great for active pets who love to chase and retrieve.
Puzzle and Enrichment Toys
Puzzle toys, treat-dispensing toys, lick mats, and snuffle mats help provide mental stimulation. These are especially helpful for pets who need indoor activities or slower mealtimes.
Types of Cat Toys
Wand Toys
Wand toys encourage chasing, jumping, and stalking. They are great for interactive play.
Catnip and Silvervine Toys
Many cats enjoy catnip or silvervine toys, though every cat responds differently.
Chase and Bat Toys
Small toys that roll, crinkle, rattle, or move can encourage independent play.
Scratchers
Scratchers help cats stretch, mark territory, and care for their claws while giving them an appropriate place to scratch.

- Chewing strength
