What types of toys are best for large dogs?

The best types of toys for large dogs are made from durable materials like heavy-duty rubber or thick rope. Large dogs like chew toys, fetch toys, tug toys, squeaky toys, rope toys, ball launcher toys, and more. Many big pups like to snuggle up with plush toys, and you can also find stuffing-less versions to make them safer for dogs who like to chew. Interactive toys and treat toys help make playtime especially enriching, too.

How do I choose the right-sized toy for my large dog?

Choose the right-sized toy for your large dog by using the breed size filters on the Chewy site. Then, review individual product dimensions to ensure a toy is the right size for your pup. Pick one that's big enough that they can't swallow or choke on it, but not so big that they can't hold it comfortably in their mouth.

Are squeaky toys safe for large dogs?

Squeaky toys can be safe for large dogs as long as they're designed for big breeds and made from sturdy materials. Always supervise play and remove the toy if your dog starts tearing it apart to find the squeaker.
