Dog plush toys: comfort companion or toy to destroy

A plush toy doesn't play the same role for every dog. For some, it's a comfort toy they carry everywhere and settle in their bed; for others, it's prey to be gutted within ten minutes. Both are perfectly normal, but they don't call for the same product.

If yours destroys everything, look first for double stitching and no small sewn-on parts. That's what separates a plush toy that lasts from a heap of stuffing on the rug, and it's the thing to check in our plush toys for dogs.

Seams, stuffing and squeaker: what holds up

This one is made of soft plush and fleece: animals (Elephant, Fox, Moose, Donkey, Frog, Duck, Hippo). 19 × 8 cm or 18 × 15 cm — size matters: a plush toy that's too small for a big dog becomes a choking hazard, and one that's too big can't be carried and ends up ignored. For a dog who rips everything apart in one go, go for the eco-friendly duck plush dog toy.

Take it away as soon as a seam gives: swallowed stuffing is the leading cause of blockages in playful dogs
Choose the size to fit his mouth — this model: 19 × 8 cm or 18 × 15 cm
Wash it regularly: hand wash recommended to protect the seams
Keep a spare, as a lost comfort toy is hard to replace once adopted
Keep an eye on the squeaker, it's the first part your dog will try to dig out
Save the dog plush toy for calm time, and tug toys for burning energy

When the plush toy becomes a comfort toy, and when to take it away

Many dogs adopt a plush toy as an anchor: they take it to bed, carry it around with them and settle themselves by chewing on it. For a puppy who's just arrived, it's a genuine help through the first nights. Leave it in the bed for good rather than putting it away.

That said, it isn't a toy for burning energy: a dog who needs to let off steam won't tire himself out on a plush toy. And once it splits open, it goes in the bin. For serious chewers, an indestructible dog toy lasts far longer and spares you constant supervision.

A simple rule of thumb for size: the plush toy should be wider than your dog's open mouth, but no bigger than he can carry while walking. In between, he'll carry it about; outside that range, it's either dangerous or abandoned in a corner.

FAQ

Will it stand up to a dog that chews?

No toy is indestructible. Dense rubber models last much longer than plush, but a determined chewer will get the better of them eventually: keep an eye on its condition and replace it before pieces come off.

What are the exact dimensions?

19 × 8 cm or 18 × 15 cm. This is the measurement to check against your pet's build: with this kind of accessory, any mismatch shows straight away in use.

Is it suitable for a puppy?

Check the size first: a toy that fits whole in the mouth is a swallowing risk. For a teething puppy, go for softer materials.

What is it made of?

Soft plush and fleece. It's this material mix that sets the care routine: check the specifications for the right way to wash it.
