2024’s Best Puppy Toys – And They’re All On Amazon!

Edsel is one of our favourite toys in my home, Indie's had his since he was a puppy, and it's not one of those plush toys that's going to randomly explode within 3 seconds flat. 

Instead, this one is tough, because Fluff and Tuff have a unique way of making their toys, which has a second layer of fabric, designed to help prevent teeth from going through.

Ours has never had any failures, I don't even remember hearing any stitch breaks. These are great for dogs who love soft toys, and you're likely not going to need any other soft toys - unless you're doing toy rotation.

These are great choices for adult dogs, older pups, because they will last for a long time. Think of this one as an investment!

The only times I've seen fluff and tuff toys "go" is with time (years) and with dogs who will literally lay down and chomp through it. For me, I remove it in this instance, because no plush toy is going to stand up to aggressive chewers.

The Squeaker is also not that obnoxiously sharp squeak by the way, and squeaky toys, by the way, really help you simulate prey for your dog and encourages them to bite, making Edsel perfect for teething puppies and for training puppy what to bite.

love this little thing. It’s so cute, and the textures on him are great for getting puppy used to things that are a little different in their mouth, that mouth feel can be really important and is often undervalued in your puppy toys - but not with the CuteSeas range!

This little thing is surprisingly tough. He is built to last! And what more can you ask for? Light and small (in the smaller sizes), this little seahorse won’t leave you longing for something with a little more resilience. It’s a wonderful little toy that can hold up! 

This does come in different sizes, but I would really recommend Edsel instead, because it's really the perfect toy for those who love plush toys - and even for your small breed when they get big enough.

I love overly flirty toy like this, they offer a lot of movement and stimulation! These toys absorb the tug on your arm with it’s bungee cord insides (great for stronger puppies!) and it’ll flirt, tease and tempt them into play with it’s fleece strands too! And the bright colors? Ugh, divine.

They wash great too because of the fleece (fantastic for those sharp baby teeth), and they’re great for dogs who love to tug.

The fleece on this makes this perfect for puppies because it's lightweight and yet durable enough for chomping needle teeth. 

I love this to help puppy parents engage with their pup and wear them out really quickly but stimulate their learning brain!

This is so cute for puppies - and surprisingly strong! I love using hemp rope, and beco are so good at not putting excessive chemicals and things in their products - because they understand dogs.

Rope toys are perfect for playing tug and this gives you plenty of opportunity to do that together!

(naturally, if you see fraying with this toy, it's time for it to go because strings can be dangerous when ingested)

So many dogs love balls. Puppies too. These would definitely rank in some of the highest all time puppy toys if there were such a thing. But this? This is soooo much better than the average tennis balls.

 And these? These are just the ultimate ball that you could ask for. They’re the single most resistant ball (Yay durable rubber!) I’ve found that still bounces - bar none. And god do they bounce!! Don’t ever waste your money going elsewhere for the ‘true tennis ball’ or the ‘pet tennis ball’ or even those from Kong! Because they just do not last and don't deserve a spot in the ranks of your puppy toys.

 Even better? They come in a whole range come in a whole host of sizes meaning that you can pick one that fits your pup! The small sizes wouldn't be recommended for large breed dogs, but they have the right size for you. The aim is to make sure they have a ball that cannot pose a choking hazard, and if you’re ever unsure? Go one size too large. Always better too large than too small. 

Whilst this toy looks pretty boring, and aren't the most engaging with squeakies or anything like that, these toys are seriously strong. They're designed from Astronaut grade rubber - yep! 

These toys are like very little else because the brand also stands by them - if your dog chews them down, then they will replace them for your heavy chewer.

Now that? That is a great product!

Snuffle mats of any kind are wonderful, but this one is fab for your puppy as it’s a real ‘start you off’ snuffle mat. It's a bit of an alone-play puppy toy too, and doesn't require you as much (though the set up definitely takes a little time!). And I love puppy toys that give you just a little bit of down time, because the puppy blues is real!

 If you’re not familiar with the concept? The idea is that you hide treats within the folds of material and pop it on the floor and let your puppy forage around! To start with, I always suggest using something that your pup will smell nice and easy, that should act as a great lure - and don’t worry about getting dirty, because you can throw this in the washing machine! 

 Eventually, you can use regular kibble in this too - once puppy gets the hang of it! 

We love toppls because this interactive toy can feed a significant amount of food from these, with a much quicker fill than other toys, they're also much easier to start your dog off on than other enrichment toys.

Personally, we use for both kibble and meat, and we just mix kibble with some yogurt or pumpkin puree to make it stick - you can even add a little peanut butter!

It's enough of a challenge to keep it interesting and rewarding, but rarely looses interest. 

These can also help your dogs manipulation and problem-solving skills whilst giving pet parents a well needed peaceful five minutes.

Reminder: pick a small size for a smaller breed!

Some dogs love to tear things apart, like beds! Or toys, or maybe even your shrubs… well, if that’s what they enjoy, why not give your puppy that outlet in a way you’re okay with it happening? 

This is where the Hollee-Roller ball comes in! These balls, with small holes when paired with some old cloth, strips of felt or something else that your puppy isn’t likely to try and eat, are wonderful to get puppy pulling and tugging at the fabric, pulling it out of the ball, and are even better if there are dog treats hidden within - which makes a great way to give that destroy-it outlet whilst saving your sofa.

This is one of those puppy toys that makes the game both fun and rewarding, which means you may have just saved your ornamental grasses - hooray!

As puppy toys go, this one is a little more practical - for you. Especially if you have a pup who might be more reluctant to sleep.

 These can be great for crates, or for bed, or as part of a routine to help your puppy settle into their rest schedule. They are warm, and have a soft heart-beat emulator that helps puppy feel like they still have their mother and littermates with them, allowing them to feel calm and safe in a space and settle down for a nap easily, and ease the separation anxiety that comes from leaving his or her littermates.

 This particular one is a nice example, it’s been well made and is soft and snuggly, and well sized for most pups! I’ve even known some dogs to find this little fella to basically become their security blanket - which is pretty darn cute if I’m honest.
