Benefits of Water Play for Exercise and Cooling Down
Keeps Dogs Cool in Hot Weather
Many dogs have high energy levels and need to run and play a lot, regardless of the temperature, making water toys a great way to keep them moving without overheating.
By splashing, chewing water-absorbing toys or playing with balls in the pool, dogs can enjoy exercise while regulating their body temperature and preventing heat exhaustion.
Helps Nervous or Water-Hesitant Dogs Gain Confidence
For dogs that are nervous or hesitant around water, water toys provide a gentle way to build confidence in a fun setting. Introducing wet toys or incorporating a familiar game like fetch in shallow water can help them get used to the sensation without feeling overwhelmed.
Over time, this positive association can encourage them to enjoy water-based activities, providing an easy way to stay active.
Great for Joint and Muscle Health
Playing in the water is a low-impact exercise that reduces strain on a dog's joints compared to running on land. The natural buoyancy of water supports their weight, making movement easier while still providing a full-body workout.
Water toys encourage dogs to spend more time swimming and splashing, helping them stay active and fit without putting stress on their joints—an especially good option for older dogs or those with mobility issues.
How To Choose The Right Dog Water Toy For Your Dog
Consider Your Dog’s Play Style
Every dog has a unique play style, so choosing the right dog water toy depends on what they enjoy most.
If your dog loves to fetch, a floating ball is a great choice, while chewers may prefer a cooling chew toy that absorbs and releases water. For dogs that love splashing in water, sprinkler toys ensure they stay engaged and entertained.
Size and Safety
When choosing a dog water toy, it's important to consider your dog's size. A toy that's too small can be a choking hazard, while one that's too large might be difficult for your dog to handle while swimming.
It’s also important to shop for high-quality toys because poorly made toys can break easily, posing a safety hazard with small parts that could be swallowed or sharp edges that could be extremely harmful to your dog.
Dog’s Comfort with Water
Consider how comfortable your dog is with water when choosing a toy. If your dog is hesitant, start with toys that provide gentle water interaction, like a sprinkler mat, to help them ease into the experience.
For dogs that are very comfortable in the water, fetch toys designed for swimming can offer more active play, allowing them to chase, fetch and retrieve while staying cool in the pool or at the beach.
