Five Recommended Toys For Smaller Dog Breeds

Small dogs love to play, just like big dogs, however, they need toys that match their size so that they enjoy a good game of tug-of-war, catch, fetch, or just spending time chewing. Little dogs mouths aren’t big enough to cart around big dog toys, and their teeth are more apt to chip and even break if they play with, or chew on the wrong toys. Despite their smaller, more fragile mouths and teeth, they still are tough on their toys and need to have play toys that will hold up under their strong little grips. Here are five of the most recommended dog toys for your small dog.

5. Kong Ballistic Sqwuggies Firehose dog toy

Although small dogs don’t typically have the strength of a large dog, they can still get rough and have the ability to destroy their toys if they aren’t sturdy enough. The Sqwuggies Firehose dog toy is the perfect toy for small dogs for several reasons, and one of those reasons is their durability. Sqwuggies are toys that are durable because they are made of professional fire hose grade material, which makes it difficult for dogs to tear up. Little dogs can also dig their teeth into the toys and hold on tight, which makes playing tug-of-war much easier. It’s no secret that most dogs are a fan of squeakers, one reason why so many have them. Small dogs may be more sensitive to loud squeaks, so Sqwuggies kept that in mind and added squeakers to all of their toys that are mild in sound, giving them just enough fun sounds without irritating their ears. The Firehose dog toy costs about $12, so follow the link below to get yours.
