Cat and Dog Toys for Active Play in British Columbia Homes
Plenty of British Columbia homes share space between a cat and a dog. Good toys keep both of them moving, even when the rain keeps walks short.

Toys for Cats and Dogs in Multi-Pet Homes
Cats and dogs play differently. Cats stalk and bat, and dogs chase, fetch and chew, so a multi-pet home needs a mix.
Toys that suit both, such as a bouncing ball, are a good place to start.
Toys for Active Play at Home
The USB Vibrating Ball Toy is listed for dogs and cats. The Ball-in-Ball Interactive Toy and the Interactive Track Ball Toy are made for cats and small dogs, and are PLA, a plant-based bioplastic.
Interactive Dog Toys for Active Dogs
For dogs, browse the interactive pet toys and the dog chews collection. My guide to dog enrichment has more ideas for active dogs.
Slow Feeders for Cats and Dogs
For pets that gobble, a slow feeder bowl slows the meal and reduces mess. The Dogs and Cats Feeders collection covers both.
| Pet | Toy idea | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Cat | Wobble Squeaky Toy | Wobbles and chirps |
| Cat or small dog | Ball-in-Ball | Batting and chasing |
| Dog or cat | USB Vibrating Ball | Bounces and rolls |
| Both | Slow feeder bowl | Slows gulping |

Can cats and dogs share toys? Some toys, like the USB Vibrating Ball, are listed for both. Supervise play and give each pet their own toys.
What if rain keeps us indoors? Indoor play with bouncing, rolling and puzzle toys adds movement on wet days.

Let customers speak for us
Willow loves eating out of this leaf feeder! The construction is very good quality and feels solid/ not like it’s going to break. She is a picky eater and doesn’t normally eat full meals but will eat full meals out of this! Love the grippy bottom so it doesn’t slip. Nothing to complain about :)
Golden Luca is pretty and it has my name and phone number on the flip side.
I bought it for Bao Bei to help him eat slower, also have a unique feeding bowl
He is busy with it for hours and also I can fetch the toy when we want to spend time together
It made Sabar’s meal time more than double and I enjoy watching him eating from his unique bowl
My paw was eating too fast and this bowl helped me to fix this problem
It can keep my cat's busy for a long time, but it should be under supervised I think. Long time playing with it can make them tired!
Maki playing with her ball. 😀
I'm using this stuff to keep my puppy busy and happy everyday.
It keeps my puppy busy for more than 30 mins every time for a meal. and even after that she plays with it around as long as She get tired!
Fun "beginner level" toy. Works for cats too:)
Durable plastic, feels nice.
it is a bit hard on the walls but the cat just watches it. Does not interact with it. The ball works really well for what it is supposed to do.
If it was a bit softer the cat might enjoy it more.
I gave one to a neighbour who's dog loves it. She has a small dog so the size is just right.
Great bowl and such fun. Amazing the difference in time it now takes for my puppy to finish her meals. Much healthier for her! And she loves to play with it once it’s empty
Got this toy for my girl Archie and she absolutely loves it! It’s super durable, keeps her entertained for hours, and the treat dispenser is a fun bonus. Totally worth it
As soon as this ball comes out he gets very excited. The ball allows him to play by himself with the ball. His favourite toy by far.
