The Safest Dog Toys for Teething Puppies (And What to Avoid)
Share
Your Puppy’s Mouth Is a War Zone
Between teething pain, endless energy, and curious instincts, puppies will chew on anything. But not everything is safe. The wrong toy can cause choking, tooth damage, or behavior problems down the line.
Here’s how to choose the right teething toy—and what to leave on the shelf.
What Makes a Dog Toy “Safe” for Teething?
1. No Stuffing or Squeakers: These are fun to destroy—and dangerous to swallow.
2. Bite-Resistant Fabrics: Puppies have needle teeth. Flimsy plush won’t last.
3. Non-toxic Materials: Especially critical when it’s going in their mouth daily.
4. Hand-Safe Design: If the toy invites hand play, your fingers should be protected.
Top Safety Risks in Common Puppy Toys
• Cheap Plushies: Easy to rip open, often filled with polyester fluff
• Hard Plastic Chews: Can crack baby teeth or cause mouth injuries
• Rope Toys: Fray quickly and can cause digestive blockages if ingested
• Overly Small Toys: Pose choking hazards as your pup grows
