MyDogToy

Price: various

Pixel, the Animal Radio Studio Stunt Dog is a veracious chewer and loves her toys hard! It's rare that we find any toys that stand up to her rough play. That's why we were delighted to find the Tuffy, Mighty Toys, Silly Squeakers and DuraForce product line. MyDogToy is known for its high-quality dog toys, and owners now have an extensive, fun holiday collection to spoil their fur-babies with this Holiday season.

Nine of the new holiday toys are Mighty Microfiber dog toys, which include a snowman, reindeer, penguin and Santa themed to Christmas. All toys are available now on the MyDogToy website and Amazon for under $26.

When selecting dog toys, it is important to understand their construction and fabrication to ensure safety as well as maximum fun. Mighty MicroFiber Toys are plush MicroFiber material on the outside with multiple layers of durable material on the inside, such as sturdy squeaky balls and minimal stuffing. Each toy has multiple layers of flexible materials and multiple rows of stitching with all seams located on the inside. This creates no hard edges, which can discourage dogs from chewing. They are also machine washable and they float!

Tuffy toys have squeakers sewn into safety pockets located inside the layers of each toy for added safety. They also have up to seven rows of stitching on the seams of the toy, and up to four layers of durable material to increase the lifespan of the toy, and to make it more difficult to rip through the outer layer. The outside Fleece is cross stitched for added durability, and the toys have a protective webbing covering the outside seams. They are machine washable and they float!

SodaPup Butterfly – Durable Dog Chew Toy

Price: Starting at $13.99

Available here

This butterfly shaped food maze was the biggest surprise of our gift list this year. We simply didn't think this seemingly uninteresting toy had any place in our furry family. However, we were very wrong. We filled the crevices with her moist dog food and froze it. Pixel, who once suffered from separation anxiety, now enjoys the butterfly when we leave the house. It takes her about 40 minutes to lick it clean. All the while, unaware that we have left the room. She no longer gets anxious when we go somewhere and we owe it all to the positive reinforcement of the butterfly.

All SodaPup products are made in the USA from FDA compliant materials that are safe for dogs.
SodaPup is a veteran-owned business
The butterfly toy illustrates our point of difference, which is to "think outside the bone" - dogs do not show a preference for bone shapes, and there are many brands that make nylon bone-shaped chew toys, so we focus our efforts on novelty shapes like the butterfly.
The butterfly toy also illustrates our strategy to build multi-functionality into the toy. Not only is it a durable chew toy, it is also a licking toy. You can smear peanut butter and other soft foods into the "treat pockets" which is made up of the the recessed pattern in the butterflies wings. In this way, the butterfly is part lick-mat and part chew toy.
Because it is made of a very durable material and serves an enrichment function, this toy is ideal for crate training and separation anxiety and does not require supervision.
It is also dishwasher safe.

Price: Starting at $29.99

Someone has been missing from family game night, but not anymore! West Paw introduces the first-ever family game that finally includes the family dog: The Dog’s Best Friend Game. This exciting innovation in brain game play encourages connection, enrichment, positive reinforcement training and most importantly, lots of fun for the entire family (2-legged and 4).

The challenges range in difficulty and silliness, and ultimately the winner’s goal is to earn points and be named their “Dog’s Best Friend”. Within the deck of cards, there are five cards with training tips related to some of the challenges, each featuring QR codes directing to West Paw’s website with more specific training tips and education.

The Dog’s Best Friend Game includes one no-slip dog mat, 81 illustrated gamecards, eight cups, two squeaky dog toys and a timer. It is made for a group, but there’s also an option to play solo with your dog(s). While players may play as many rounds as they’d like (adding up points on the gamecards as they go), most games last a family of four about 25+ minutes. Instructions are included with every game, including tips for safe and mindful play with your pet.
