How do dogs benefit from toys?
Exercise
Nowadays, many dogs spend a lot of their time inside the house. However, it is important to remember that dogs descend from creatures that lived in the great outdoors and were free to move around as they pleased, so it is vital that we keep our modern domesticated dogs moving. Dog toys are the perfect way to keep your dog fit, to help stave off weight gain, diabetes, arthritis or other illnesses that can be caused by a lack of exercise.
Brain training
Dogs are highly intelligent creatures and can easily get bored, as well as experiencing the rest of the human emotional range! Intelligence toys can help to satisfy your dog's natural creativity and curiosity, leaving your dog feeling happy and satisfied. It has been proven that playing can also help to reduce stress, boredom, loneliness and tension. Our dogs make the best companions when they are physically and mentally fit.
Build trust
Most dogs are highly sociable, loving and friendly animals, with the need to feel as though they belong within a family or pack. Relationships, affection and playtime are all extremely important. Interacting with humans or other dogs also offers the chance to strengthen their sociable side. Taking regular time to play with your dog can also help to solidify the bond between you, and dog toys can be extremely beneficial in this. It can also have a therapeutic effect on you both, helping to encourage relaxation and keep daily stress at bay.
Strengthen teeth
Cleaning your dog's teeth regularly with a toothbrush can be an unpleasant challenge for everyone involved. However, dental dog toys can also help to keep your dog's teeth clean. Chewing helps to activate saliva production, which keeps gums healthy, as well as strengthening the jaw and sharpening teeth.

How do I find the perfect toy for my dog?
We hope that the following tips and advice can help you find the ideal toy for your dog!
Size
Be sure that the size of toy you have chosen is suitable for the size of your dog. You need to be careful not to choose a toy that is too small and could be easily swallowed or choked on, especially if you have a larger breed dog.
Material & durability
Keep an eye on your dog's play behaviour - does your dog prefer to throw toys around? Bury them? Bite them? Cuddle them? Or simply carry them around? Choose something tough and long-lasting if you know your dog will be chewing, a soft material for cuddlers, lighter toys for the dogs that will carry them around all day, and a natural material if it is going to end up buried in the garden!
Safety
Make sure there are no small parts on the toy that your dog could easily swallow. Always read any advice that comes with a toy and make sure it contains nothing toxic or potentially harmful.
Easy to clean
In order to make your life that little bit easier, choose a dog toy that is washable or waterproof.
