Dog toys: how to choose the right toy for your dog

Looking for dog toys? The right toy depends on your dog's personality, size and play style. From durable toys for strong chewers to safe toys for puppies: on this page you will find our full range and practical buying advice, from indestructible dog toys for power chewers to soft plush for puppies and Starmark puzzle toys for mental stimulation.

The six toy categories: which suits your dog?

Bopets is an official distributor of the Vadigran dog toy range, with six clear material categories:

🦾
TPR rubber
Thermoplastic rubber, flexible, wear-resistant and safe during intense chewing. The best choice for enthusiastic chewers and large breeds that quickly destroy ordinary toys.
Indestructible
⭐
Starmark
Patented durable plastic. Starmark makes puzzle and treat balls where your dog has to 'work' snacks out of a toy. Ideal for dogs that get bored quickly and need mental stimulation.
Intelligence & food
🧸
Plush
Soft plush toys, often with a squeaker. Perfect for gentle chewers, puppies and dogs that love to carry or cuddle. Not suitable for dogs that tear everything apart.
Puppy-friendly
🌿
Cotton
Twisted cotton tug ropes and pull sticks. Excellent for interactive tug games, gum care and fetching. Cotton fibres gently clean gums and teeth during play.
Gum care
🫧
Latex
Soft and elastic with a distinctive squeaky sound. Latex squeaky toys attract the attention of sound-sensitive dogs. Suitable for moderate chewers, not for strong chewers.
Squeaky
🎯
Training & Outdoor
Floating fetch sticks, throwing discs and retrievers. Designed for intensive outdoor play and obedience training. Combine with training treats for best results.
Active outdoor

What to consider when choosing dog toys?

📏
Right size
The toy should never be smaller than your dog's mouth, too-small toys are a choking hazard. For large breeds always choose L or XL. When in doubt: always go larger. A toy that is slightly too big is never dangerous.
💪
Chew intensity
Categorise your dog as a gentle chewer, average chewer or power chewer. For power chewers always choose TPR rubber or Starmark, plush or latex will be dangerously quickly destroyed and could be swallowed.
🧠
Mental stimulation
Dogs need mental challenge alongside physical exercise. A dog that is restless in the evening or shows destructive behaviour is often understimulated. Starmark puzzle toys with food require concentration and significantly reduce boredom.
👶
Age
Puppies need soft toys. Cotton tug ropes are excellent: the fibres massage the gums during teething (3-6 months). Avoid hard TPR rubber until the permanent teeth have fully come through.

Indestructible dog toys: the best choice for power chewers

Looking for indestructible dog toys? TPR rubber is the best choice for most dogs that chew intensively. The material is flexible enough not to break, but sturdy enough to withstand long chewing sessions. Starmark toys go a step further: the patented material withstands strong chewers while keeping them mentally engaged. Both materials are safer than regular rubber, which can release small pieces during intense chewing. Always choose sturdier than you think you need, it is safer and cheaper in the long run.

Starmark: the smartest dog toy

Starmark is a top brand for indestructible dog toys and puzzle balls. The two most popular products are the Treat Dispensing Chew Ball, a sturdy ball with irregular openings that release treats when rolled, and the Bob-A-Lot, a wobbling food container that puts your dog to work with nose and paw. Both are available in multiple sizes and ideal for dogs that get bored quickly or show destructive behaviour.

Toys for puppies: the first toys

The first dog toys are important for a puppy's social development and bite behaviour. Start with soft plush toys and cotton tug ropes. Plush toys with a squeaker stimulate the hunting instinct safely. Cotton tug ropes soothe teething pain. Rotate toys regularly, after a few days in the 'cupboard' an old toy becomes 'new' again for your dog.

Common mistakes with dog toys

  • Buying too-small toys: always check that the toy is larger than the mouth, a choking hazard is never acceptable.
  • Giving plush to power chewers: a dog that rips open plush and eats the stuffing risks intestinal obstruction, choose TPR or Starmark instead.
  • Not inspecting toys: check weekly for tears, loose pieces or damage and discard damaged toys immediately.
  • Always the same toy: rotate toys regularly, after a week in the cupboard an old toy becomes interesting again.

Frequently asked questions dog toys: toys for every breed and personality

What is the most indestructible dog toy?
Toys made from TPR (thermoplastic rubber) or natural rubber, such as Starmark toys, are extremely durable. For heavy chewers, choose toys specifically labelled for tough chewers.
What is the best toy for a puppy?
Puppies need softer toys that suit their developing teeth. Rope toys, soft rubber toys and small balls are ideal. Avoid very hard toys until the adult teeth have fully come through.
Is Starmark toy also suitable for small dogs?
Yes, Starmark offers toys in various sizes. Choose the appropriate size for your dog. The Everlasting Treat Ball comes in small, medium and large.
How do I choose the right size dog toy?
The toy should be large enough that your dog cannot accidentally swallow it, but small enough for them to carry comfortably. As a rule: the toy should be larger than your dog's mouth when fully open.
What is the difference between TPR and regular rubber dog toys?
TPR (thermoplastic rubber) is lighter, more flexible and more durable than regular rubber. It is also safer because it does not splinter. Regular rubber is heavier and may wear faster with strong chewers.
What is the best puzzle toy for dogs?
Puzzle toys from Starmark and similar brands are excellent. Start with a simple level and build up. Food-dispensing toys keep your dog mentally stimulated and help prevent boredom.
