Why Every Dog Needs a Durable Chew Toy
Dogs chew. It is what they do, and the question is only what they chew on. A durable chew toy of their own gives them an answer.
Part of my guide to dog toys for aggressive chewers. See also: why durable chew toys matter.
Why Dogs Chew
Chewing is a natural behaviour for dogs of every age. Some dogs chew a little, and some chew hard and go through toys quickly.
A durable chew toy gives your dog their own thing to chew, and it is a lot easier on your shoes and furniture.
A Durable Chew Toy for Every Dog
For small and medium dogs, the Molar Chew Toy and the Corn Dog Chew Toy are both listed as a good fit. The Corn toy comes with a removable cotton rope for tugging. For larger dogs, the Crocodile Dog Chew Toy is listed for dogs of all sizes.
| Your dog | Try |
|---|---|
| Small or medium dog | Molar Chew Toy or Corn Dog Chew Toy |
| Dog that likes to tug | Corn Dog Chew Toy with its cotton rope |
| Larger dog | Crocodile Dog Chew Toy |
Making a Chew Toy Part of the Day
Fill the toy with kibble, peanut butter or treats, hand it over after a walk and let your dog settle in. Rotating between two or three toys keeps each one interesting.

A Chew Toy of Their Own Makes Rules Easier
When your dog has a toy that is theirs, it is easy to hand it over whenever you spot them eyeing the sofa. Dogs learn what is theirs to chew, and you get fewer tug of war moments over shoes.
Keep the toy where your dog can find it, and rotate it with another one so it stays interesting.
Does every dog need a chew toy? Chewing is natural for dogs, so a toy made for it is a good thing to have on hand.
What can I put inside a chew toy? The Molar, Corn and Crocodile chew toys can be filled with kibble, peanut butter or treats.
How many chew toys should I have? Many owners keep two or three and rotate them.
Give your dog a toy made for chewing and let the rest of your home stay chew free. See the Dogs Chew Toys collection.

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.
