Chew & Teething Dog Toys

Chew and teething toys give your dog something safe to chew instead of shoes and furniture. Firm rubber toys suit adult dogs that chew hard, while puppy teething toys help with sore gums as adult teeth come through. Some of our chew toys hold treats or kibble. Prices start from £10.

Choosing Chew & Teething Dog Toys

Puppies and teething

Puppies usually teethe from around 3 to 6 months old, when they lose their baby teeth. They chew to soothe sore gums. Choose a puppy sized teething toy and swap it for a firmer toy as your puppy grows.

Toys for strong chewers

Dogs that destroy plush toys need firm rubber chew toys. Treat dispensing chew toys, such as our carrot and bone toys, hold kibble in slots so your dog chews longer. No toy is indestructible, so check for damage often.

Choosing the right size

Choose a chew toy that is too big to swallow and big enough that your dog cannot fit the whole toy in its mouth. Large and powerful dogs need larger, thicker toys.

Safe chewing

Supervise chewing with any new toy and remove toys that are cracked or have pieces missing. Avoid cooked bones and sticks, which can splinter. For more toys, see Fetch & Tug and Interactive Dog Toys.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best toys for a teething puppy?

Soft but durable teething toys sized for puppies are best. Our puppy teething toys come in T, wishbone and branch shapes. Supervise your puppy and replace toys when they wear.

What is the best toy for a dog that destroys everything?

Firm rubber chew toys made for chewing last longest. Avoid plush for these dogs. No toy is indestructible, so check toys regularly.

When do puppies stop teething?

Most puppies finish teething by around 6 to 7 months old, when their adult teeth are in. Many dogs still enjoy chewing after that.

Can I put treats in a chew toy?

Yes. Our treat dispensing chew toys have holes or slots for kibble or soft treats. Count treats as part of your dog's daily food.

How do I clean rubber chew toys?

Wash them in warm soapy water and rinse well. Use a bottle brush for treat holes, and let the toy dry before giving it back.
