Toys are not only a source of entertainment for your new puppy, but can also provide comfort and prevent bad habits from forming. With so many dog toys available for purchase, it's important that you find the best and safest ones.
Bones
We do not recommend giving your puppy any bones that can be swallowed or broken into smaller pieces. Products such as rawhides can be choking hazards, especially without supervision. However, it is still crucial that your puppy has something to chew on while they are teething.
Our favorite dog bone brand is Nylabone. These are durable and safe chews that cannot be swallowed or chewed up. They will keep your puppy busy for hours and you won't have to worry!
Here are some Nylabone products that we have purchased for our puppies:

Puppy Teething Keys
These can be purchased when their permanent teeth have grown in:
Dura Chew Peanut Butter Flavor Souper

Long Lasting Durable Chew - Original
Stuffed Toys
Stuffed animals can help your new puppy adapt to your home. They are used to sleeping and playing with their siblings, so a soft toy will help with the transition.
We suggest that your stuffed dog toys have no long strings or hard parts that could be swallowed or choked on. These should be supervised and not left with your puppy at night. If your puppy begins to tear it up, then it is best to remove the toy to prevent accident.
