Sustainable & useful dog toys

Being out and about and playing with your master and mistress - the favorite activity of all four-legged friends!

Whether balls for retrieving, tug toys, cuddly toys for the home, squeaky toys or dummies and fetch - the selection of dog toys is huge. We have made it our mission to only bring the highest quality and sustainably manufactured dog toys for your four-legged friend into our range.

With the right toy you will never get bored, you will strengthen your bond and spend time together full of fun and joy.

Why does my dog ​​need toys?

Most dogs have it in their nature: they love to play. Romping, tugging, running and cuddling together with your human is the best thing for a dog.

You can also strengthen your bond with meaningful games together.

Movement and stimulation

Since most dogs these days spend most of their time indoors, it is essential to encourage them to play from time to time. This not only keeps them physically fit, but also stimulates their minds.

Dogs are very intelligent, motivated and creative creatures if you encourage their natural abilities and talents.

This works particularly well when playing together with the right dog toy !

Strengthen trust with dog toys

Since our dogs are social and highly emotional creatures, like us humans, they need the feeling of being part of the family or pack. Affection, education, bonding and interaction is very important for them.

Exchanging ideas and interacting with your dog makes him and you feel good, strengthens your trust in each other and thus also increases your dog's social skills .

Especially as they get older, most dogs prefer to play with their humans rather than with other dogs - that's why it's even more important that you respond to your four-legged friend and allow him to play this way.

Teeth cleaning with dog toys

If you've ever tried to brush your dog's teeth, you know: it can be a real challenge!

But there is an easier option: with the right toys you can support your dog's clean teeth .

Our natural rubber dog toys from BeezTees or our pineapples, for example, have a light nubby structure and thus clean the spaces between teeth and teeth when your dog chews on them.

What material should my dog's toy be made of?

Dog toys are a dime a dozen - considering that our four-legged friends chew on them a lot, the toy should definitely be free of harmful substances and not damage their teeth.

A negative example of dog toys is the tennis ball: its surface acts like sandpaper for dog's teeth and can therefore cause dental problems.

Your dog's character also influences the decision of what material his or her toy should be made of:

You know him or her best and know whether they like to chew on something, bury it, tear it apart, cuddle with it, or prefer to carry it around.

Toys made from robust materials are suitable for chew toys, soft materials for cuddly toys and those that are easy to clean for burying and those with a certain weight for carrying around.

What else should I pay attention to when buying dog toys?

• The toy should never be too small so that your dog cannot accidentally swallow it.
• It should not contain any toxic ingredients .
  
• Please check your favorite toy regularly for damage .
  
• Washable and waterproof dog toys are easier to clean .

The types of toys in Pawsome Shop

Chew toys for dogs

Our dog toys for chewing and hiding treats are available in many colors and different shapes . Thanks to the possibility of hiding food in it, your dog will also be mentally exercised during the game.

Dog balls

The classic among dog toys: balls for the dog.
As already mentioned: Tennis balls are not suitable for dogs!

Balls are often criticized - they only encourage the dog to rush and then cause the dog constant stress. That's definitely true - but a dog ball can also be used sensibly for dog play. You can find out more about this in this blog post.

The alternative to tennis balls are dog balls made of natural rubber or felt . These are ideal for throwing, retrieving, hiding and as a reward .

Our slingshot balls made of climbing rope are also perfect for playing together. Thanks to the loop, you can easily throw it particularly far. We make them from leftover pieces of our climbing ropes.

Toys for puppies

When are dogs the most playful? Of course - as puppies! Since the little ones' teeth are not yet fully developed and are more easily damaged, softer, yet robust materials such as natural rubber are best suited.

Tug toy for the dog

Tugging is a particularly popular game among our four-legged friends. Since you can only play it together, you strengthen your bond.

Gentle tugging also strengthens the neck muscles and cleans your dog's teeth in a playful way.

With us you will find toys made from recycled climbing ropes , which you can easily grab in the loop and thus have a particularly firm grip on the tugging toy.

Fetch toys for dogs

Very few dogs can fetch on their own - you have to teach them first.

Food dummies are particularly suitable for this: you can put treats in them, close the dummy with a zipper, hide it and let your four-legged friend search for it. Since he can't open the dummy himself, he will bring it back to you and you can reward him with treats from the food bag.

Leather dog toy

Since we attach great importance to natural materials and sustainability, it is important to us that dog toys are made from environmentally friendly raw materials .

Our Nuf Nuf suede dog toys are hypoallergenic and filled with coconut fiber - so if your dog manages to crawl out some of the filling, you don't have to worry.

Dogolino's toys are made from leftover organic leather and filled with it - real recycled toys!
