Get ready to rock your dog’s world—and their sniffer—with irresistible Playology dog toys inspired by the science of scent and enhanced with the smells dogs crave. Playology knows that a dog’s nose is 10,000 times more powerful than a human nose. So they designed their toys to be 10,000 times more appealing than standard dog toys by embedding all-natural scents into each and every rugged, durable, tantalizing toy.
Shop Petco to find Playology toys made with Encapsiscent Technology and embedded with millions of microbeads containing the smells dogs love—beef, peanut butter, bacon and more—in classic and colorful shapes that squeak, bounce and tug. The more your dog plays, the more scent the toy will release.
Make playtime more fun, engaging and enticing with Playology toys, instead of relying on fattening treats. Heavy chewers will love Playology rope toys, made with specially-shaped Dri-Tech fibers that wick away slobber, much like performance athletic wear wicks away sweat. That means every tug-of-war yields tons of exciting scents for your dog and less slimy slobber for you. Win-win!
Playology bones are perfect for moderate or heavy chewers, featuring dual-level construction for a soft and chewy outside and a hard and durable inside. Chewers of all kinds will love to chase Playology balls upgraded with squeak, scent and extra durability.
We carry Playology dog toys in a range of sizes to fit every breed—and don’t forget that older dogs love scents, too. Playology Silver features toys specially designed for senior dogs. They’re available in the same great smell options as standard Playology toys. They’re made from softer materials to provide older dogs with more comfortable chewing so they can keep playing longer even as they—and their teeth—age.

Chewing on toys is a great activity for dogs to help them burn off energy, keep them occupied, and help keep them from chewing on other things in the house that are inappropriate for them to chew on. Dogs have individual preferences for the types of toys they chew on, so it may take a bit of experimenting to find out what Abby likes. Rope toys, soft toys and rubber chew toys are all good options. There are even puzzle toys where you can hide food and that will keep your pup busy trying to get the food out. Avoid any toys that are too hard- you should be able to easily dent the surface with a fingernail, as anything harder than that could lead to fracturing of the teeth. Avoid offering bones, antler, and similar objects for this reason. Always supervise play, and if you notice your dog trying to eat any pieces of the toys, take them away, as the pieces could cause a blockage of the intestines that could lead to the need for surgery to remove it.

There are chew toys that are designed for puppies that are softer for their baby teeth but not easily destroyed. Stuffed toys can be good as well, but watch them with it to make sure that they don't rip it apart and eat it. Balls can be fun for them.

Teething time in puppies can be difficult! While you can play with Chloe with plush toys, I would only do so supervised as she may be able to rip open a seam and eat the stuffing/squeaker. Rubber toys are great when teething, and filling the inside of a rubber toy with peanut butter (regular peanut butter, not one with artificial sugars that may be toxic) and putting it in the freezer can be a great option for the need to chew! If Chloe likes ice, you can also mix water and low sodium chicken broth together to make chicken flavored ice cubes for her to chew on.

Get a Kong and stuff it with kibble or treats. Then smear peanut butter (make sure it does not contain any xylitol) over the hole completely. Put it in the freezer for a few hours. The coolness will feel good on M. J’s gums. In general King toys are a favorite for dogs. Rope toys can also massage the gum when he bites into them. If you go to the Pet Store or online you can find toys specifically for teething puppies. They can often be put in the refrigerator. As a sidenote, always check his toys for any pieces that he could tear off and swallow as this could cause an intestinal blockage. Throw away any of those toys and buy him new ones when this occurs. I hope you find this helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!

Kong toys are my favorite. You can pack them with treats, freeze chicken broth inside of them, and they are almost indestructible. Also switching toys often so they don’t “get bored” with what is available to them.
