Finding the perfect toy for your pup can be challenging, but Zach’s Pet Shop makes it easy with our wide range of high-quality dog toys. Whether you're looking for a new toy to keep your dog entertained, or something safe and durable for all ages, our online brand has something for every furry friend.
Anxiety Dog Toys
Does your dog struggle with separation anxiety or stress? Just like humans, dogs can experience nervousness when left alone or during changes in their environment. This can lead to destructive behaviour, excessive barking, or restlessness. The good news is that the right toy can make a world of difference, offering comfort, fun, and safety for your dog.
One of our most popular solutions is the Little Buddy Heartbeat Sheep, designed to soothe anxious pups with a calming heartbeat sensation. It mimics the presence of another dog, helping your pet feel secure and reducing stress levels. For extra relaxation, the Calming Pals Lavender Scented Sheep combines soft plush material with a soothing lavender scent to create a tranquil environment. If your dog finds comfort in licking, the Calming Pals Woofle Lick Mat is a fantastic choice—it encourages licking, which has been shown to reduce stress and keep dogs entertained for longer periods. Investing in the right anxiety toy can help your dog feel safe, relaxed, and happy.
Dental Dog Toys
Have you noticed your dog's breath isn't as fresh as it should be? Poor dental hygiene can lead to a buildup of bacteria, plaque, and sore gums, making your pup uncomfortable and potentially leading to costly vet visits. Just like humans, dogs need proper dental care, and the right toy can make all the difference.
At Zach’s Pet Shop, we offer a range of dental dog toys designed to help clean teeth while keeping playtime fun. Our toys are made with textured surfaces to gently scrub away plaque and massage gums as your dog chews. The Meta Ball Squeeze Fetch Ball 3 Pack includes a squeaker in each ball and is a great option for dogs that love to chase and chew, providing both exercise and dental care. For strong chewers, the Bone Appetit Super Nylon Bone is infused with a meaty taste as a treat while encouraging proper chewing habits.
Whether your pup prefers a durable rubber chew toy or a fun interactive toy that promotes healthy teeth, we have options that suit all play styles. Invest in a dental toy today and keep your dog's mouth fresh, healthy, and happy!
Fetch & Tug Dog Toys
As a dog owner, you know how important it is to keep your furry friend mentally stimulated and physically active. Without proper stimulation and training, dogs can become restless, leading to unwanted behaviours like chewing furniture or excessive barking. They need both mental and physical exercise to stay healthy and happy.
If you’re looking for a way to keep your dog entertained and active, the KONG Squeezz Action Ball Red is the ideal choice. This squeaky ball is perfect for a game of fetch, encouraging your dog to retrieve and exercise. Its bouncy, durable design is great for both indoor and outdoor play, so no matter the weather, your dog can get the workout they need.
For dogs who love a good tug-of-war session, the Lambswool Cuddle Ropey Floppers are an excellent option. The soft lambswool material is gentle on your dog’s teeth, while the sturdy rope inside ensures they can tug and chew to their heart’s content. Whether it's a quick game of fetch or an exciting tug session, these toys offer endless opportunities for fun and bonding.
Interactive & Puzzle Dog Toys
Keeping your dog mentally stimulated is just as important as providing them with physical exercise. If your dog has a lot of energy but isn’t always up for running around, interactive and puzzle dog toys are the perfect solution. These toys not only engage your dog’s brain but also provide rewarding play that taps into their natural problem-solving abilities.
If you’re looking for something that offers both fun and mental stimulation, the Interactives Fetch 'N' Treat 2nd Gen is an excellent choice. This treat-dispensing dog toy combines the excitement of fetch with the challenge of working out how to get your dog's favourite treats out.
Another great option is the Bone Appetit Flip'N'Slide. This interactive dog toy encourages problem-solving by making your dog flip and slide compartments to uncover hidden treats. It’s a fantastic way to keep your dog entertained and engaged for hours, all while giving them the essential mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy.
Plush Dog Toys
If your dog is in need of a comforting plush toy that they can bond with, you might be wondering where to find one that’s both comforting and engaging.
The PUPS Heart Beat Sheep is the perfect solution for dogs who love plush toys and need extra comfort. This cuddly sheep has a built-in heartbeat feature that mimics the sensation of being with their littermates, helping to calm and soothe your dog. Whether they're feeling anxious or just looking for a comforting buddy to snuggle with, this plush toy provides the reassurance your dog craves. The Classic Pheasant plush toy is another great choice. With its soft, lifelike design and squeaker inside, it’ll keep your dog entertained while offering them a cosy companion to cuddle with when playtime is over.
Squeaker Dog Toys
If your dog seems to be losing interest in their toys, it’s time to switch things up and bring in something that truly grabs their attention. Sometimes, the usual squeaky toys just don’t cut it anymore, and you might notice your dog’s playtime is becoming less exciting.
If your dog loves squeaky toys but you’re looking for something that’s a little more exciting, the Ultrasonic Sky Gator is the perfect option. Unlike regular squeaker toys, this ultrasonic toy produces a high-pitched sound that is inaudible to humans but is highly engaging for dogs, making it the ideal choice to keep your dog’s playtime fresh and exciting.
For a more traditional squeaky experience, the Classic Fox is a fantastic choice. This plush toy features a squeaker inside and is shaped like a lifelike fox, adding a fun element to playtime. Dogs enjoy the soft texture and squeak, making it perfect for fetch or cuddle time. If your dog loves to chase and roll, the Pups Naughty Ball is another great squeaker toy. Its bouncy design and fun squeak will keep your dog engaged, whether they’re playing indoors or outdoors.
Tough Dog Toys
If you have a dog that loves to chew, you know how frustrating it can be to find toys that can stand up to their powerful jaws. Many chew toys just don’t last, and you end up constantly replacing them.
For the ultimate in durability, the Outdoor Ballistic Giraffe is a fantastic option. Designed with tough materials, this chew toy is built to withstand aggressive chewing, making it perfect for dogs who go through toys in no time. If you’re looking for something even tougher, My T-Rex Tough Chew T-Rex is another excellent choice. Its robust design and tough material make it perfect for dogs that are serious about their chewing. Plus, it’s shaped like a T-Rex, adding a playful twist to your dog’s chewing session.
For a truly tough challenge, the KONG Extreme is known for its strength and longevity. Made from KONG’s signature ultra-durable rubber, this toy is perfect for powerful chewers and can be used for fetching, tossing, or simply chewing.
Water Play Dog Toys
On those hot summer days, it can be tough to keep your dog cool and entertained. They might get bored of their usual toys or feel restless because they can’t get enough exercise or fun outdoors.
The Chill Out Sprinkler Fun Mat is the perfect solution for dogs that love water and need something exciting to do on hot days. This water play mat turns your backyard into a water playground, spraying cool water to keep your dog refreshed while they run around and play. It’s not only a great way to keep them cool, but it also provides a fun, engaging activity that will keep them entertained for hours.
For dogs who love to fetch, the Meta Ball X-Bounce Ball is an ideal water play toy. It bounces unpredictably on water, making it perfect for fetch in the pool, lake, or at the beach. Your dog will love the challenge of retrieving it, and it’s durable to manage even the most enthusiastic water play.
How To Choose The Right Toy For Your Dog
Finding the perfect toy for your dog can make a big difference in their happiness, health, and overall well-being. With so many options available, it’s important to consider factors like size, breed, play style, and safety. Here’s how to choose the best toy for your furry friend.
Consider Your Dog’s Size, Breed and Age
Different dogs have diverse needs when it comes to toys. A toy that works well for a small puppy may not be suitable for a large, strong-jawed breed. Size is important because small toys can be a choking hazard for large breeds, while oversized toys may be difficult for small dogs to play with.
Some breeds, like the Border Collie, are more active and require durable toys, while others prefer softer, plush options. For example, retrievers may love fetch toys, while terriers may enjoy tug-of-war games. Age also plays a role. Puppies need soft, chewable toys to help with teething, whereas adult dogs may require tougher toys to keep them entertained. Senior dogs may prefer gentler toys that are easier on their teeth and joints.
Understand Your Dog’s Play Style
Each dog has a unique way of playing, and choosing the right toy depends on their preferences and energy levels. Chewers love durable chew toys made of rubber or nylon to withstand heavy use. Dogs that enjoy running after objects will benefit from balls, frisbees, or retrieval toys. If your pup enjoys tug-of-war, consider rope toys or strong fabric toys designed for interactive play.
Some dogs enjoy mental stimulation and do well with puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys that keep them engaged and prevent boredom. On the other hand, cuddlers love snuggling with plush toys, so look for soft, durable, safe, stuffed options.
Prioritise Safety and Material Quality
Safety should always be a top priority when selecting a toy for your dog. Here are some key safety tips:
- Check for choking hazards: Avoid toys with small, detachable parts that could be swallowed.
- Choose non-toxic materials: Look for toys made from pet-safe, BPA-free, and non-toxic materials.
- Inspect durability: If your dog is a strong chewer, opt for reinforced toys that can withstand rough play.
- Regularly check for wear and tear: Discard any broken or damaged toys to prevent accidents.
