Your four-legged Hypepet can get himself into plenty of trouble. Mine sure loves to bite the laces on my Js. And ever since he was a pup, I’ve tried to give him the right chew toy to avoid him from eating my kicks. Now, if you didn’t know the importance of choosing the right dog toy, fear not, fam, we got you.

Choosing The Right Dog Toy
If your dog chews them up, they technically still headstock, right?

The Comfort Toy for Age and Sleep

Best for Puppies and Small Dogs

A new pup wants to explore the world, and comfort toys can help him discover his strength, understand the dos-and-don’ts of the house, and more importantly train his growing jaw muscles. Meanwhile, comfort toys, such as plushies, are great for smaller dogs who don’t have much power in their jaws.

Training Toys For Teething

Best for teething and dogs with strong jaw muscles.

As your dog ages, teething will cause some major havoc in the home. Training toys, like rope and bones, go a long way to ensure your dog chews up the toy and not ya sneakers.

Treat Toys

Best for mental stimulation and to fight off boredom

If your dog spends a few hours alone at home, you might come home to find some destruction left once you’re away. Treat toys help fight boredom, and more importantly, force your dog to stimulate the mind to earn a treat.
