Soft dog toys are a popular choice amongst dog owners. They make great first toys, cute snuggle buddies or a beloved option for all ages. Soft toys can be any toy with an outer fabric and cushiony internal filling. This means they can come in a variety of sizes, textures, sounds and uses making them a versatile option to choose something that your dog is guaranteed to love, no matter their playstyle.
Providing toys to dogs is essential for providing both mental and physical stimulation and relieving their boredom. Some of the best benefits of soft toys are:
Make sure you consider your dog's type of play, chewing style and the toy's durability to find the best toy for your dog. Soft toys may not be as durable as chew toys or balls, so look for complete toys that don't have small parts that could easily be chewed off, such as ribbons or eyes.
Look for toys that are more durable and use safe materials. Fabrics like felt, wool and cotton tend to be the safest, along with other plush fabrics. Nylon is often used in more durable toys. Tougher toys tend to have multi-layered fabrics and strong stitching (such as inverse or Z shaped). Avoid toys involving toxic materials like PVC, BPA, Chromium, Cadmium and Formaldehyde.
For owner convenience, you may want to check the toys you are purchasing are machine washable before you add them to your cart.
Soft dog toys come in a wide variety and can be used to suit many different uses or pet preferences. The most common types available include soft toys with squeakers or stuffing free dog toys, as well as interactive soft toys to keep your dog entertained.What Are The Risks Of Soft Toys?
Soft toys tend to be more easily chewed and use materials like fabrics, stuffing and squeakers which could be potential choking hazards or cause intestinal blockage. We always recommend supervising your dog around new toys to ensure their safety. Any toys that are damaged or unsafe should be disposed of.
