Large dogs love to play, but their size and strength mean they need toys that can stand up to serious chewing and tugging. Large dog toys are built for durability and engagement, helping big pups burn energy, stay mentally stimulated, and satisfy their natural instincts. From fetch to solo play, the right toy can make a big difference in keeping them happy and active.
Here are some things to consider when shopping for large dog toys:
Durability: Choose toys made from tough rubber, rope, or reinforced fabric to handle powerful jaws and rowdy play.
Size and shape: Pick larger, appropriately sized toys to fit your dog's mouth comfortably and reduce the risk of choking.
Play style: Consider whether your dog prefers chewing, tugging, or fetching to find the most engaging option.
Interactive features: Look for treat-dispensing or squeaky toys to add mental stimulation and variety to playtime.
Safety: Pick sturdy toys without loose pieces and inspect them regularly for wear and tear, replacing them when pieces start to break or fray.
With the right large dog toys, playtime can be both safe and satisfying for your big companion. Chewy has all the large dog toys to fuel quality play sessions together and keep your dog's tail wagging. You can even set your pup's favorites to Autoship every few months, so you never have to worry about worn-out toys.
The best types of toys for large dogs are made from durable materials like heavy-duty rubber or thick rope. Large dogs like chew toys, fetch toys, tug toys, squeaky toys, rope toys, ball launcher toys, and more. Many big pups like to snuggle up with plush toys, and you can also find stuffing-less versions to make them safer for dogs who like to chew. Interactive toys and treat toys help make playtime especially enriching, too.
Choose the right-sized toy for your large dog by using the breed size filters on the Chewy site. Then, review individual product dimensions to ensure a toy is the right size for your pup. Pick one that's big enough that they can't swallow or choke on it, but not so big that they can't hold it comfortably in their mouth.
Squeaky toys can be safe for large dogs as long as they're designed for big breeds and made from sturdy materials. Always supervise play and remove the toy if your dog starts tearing it apart to find the squeaker.
