The best fetch toy for a dog matches the way your dog likes to run, pick things up and bring them back. Some dogs mainly want to chase a long-shaped toy, while others prefer a ball or a more compact model.
What should you look for in a fetch toy?
Choose a toy that suits your dog’s size, is comfortable to pick up and is not too small for safe play. Also consider the type of play: short, controlled sessions often work better than continuing endlessly.
For dogs that like chasing a stick shape
In that case, the Speeltak is the most targeted choice. This splinter-free model made from natural rubber has a branch shape and is designed for fetching, carrying and chewing.
For dogs that prefer a ball
If you want a more compact fetch toy with extra grip, the Bamboe Bal met touw is a good choice. The rope makes throwing and picking it up easier.
For dogs that combine fetching with carrying and chewing
Then the Ribbelbot is a strong choice. The bone shape and ribbed texture make the toy easy to hold and bring back.
Which choice suits your dog?
