Read About Choosing Toys for Large Breed Dogs

Toys for large breed dogs are designed specifically for their size, strength and abilities. Use them for safer and more enjoyable playtime.

Things to consider: size of the dog, the dog's habits, and her dental care program.

  • Bigger Toys for Bigger Dogs - Toys for a large breed are designed to be hardier and more resistant to fragmenting and causing choking. If you have a large breed dog or if your dog is an aggressive chewer, invest in large breed dog toys that are built with your dog's strength (and safety) in mind.

  • Boredom Breakers - Traveling can be both an exciting and a boring experience for dogs -- exciting in that there are so many people and other animals to smell and see and be distracted by; boring in that you will both probably be sitting for long periods together throughout the trip. Therefore, when you and your large breed dog travel together, one or two brand new dog toys from the large breed store can be just the thing to keep him interested, occupied, and well behaved.

  • Healthy Teeth - Bigger dogs have bigger dog dental care needs. Large breed store toys that have deep grooves or ridges will help scrape tartar off your dog's teeth, and dog toys that have large, rounded nubs or "knuckles" will help clean and strengthen your dog's gums. Supplement your dog dental care program with a couple of durable chew toys.
