Large dog toys are a must, especially if your dog is left alone at home often. They’ve got a lot of energy just collecting inside them that could end in misbehavior if you are not careful. Big dogs need just as much, if not more, attention than smaller breeds, so you are going to need a lot of toys to keep them happy.

In general, large dog toys are more durable than those made for smaller dogs. These dogs are bigger and stronger than their lapdog counterparts and thus need tougher toys to play with so you do not have to replace them constantly.

A good toy to take a look at is The Chuckle. It’s a noise making purple bone that any dog should have a lot of fun chewing and playing with. Both ends of the purple bone have inner-facing rubber prongs that allow for a neat trick: snack dispensing. Just put some treats or kibble in the prongs and while your dog plays with it, random food will pop out. It’s made of natural rubber and is best for dogs twenty pounds or heavier, so your smaller pooch might want to play with something else.

The Huck Large is another toy that you should take a look at. Made from a unique material called Zogoflex, it’s the kind of toy that will keep your dog on its toes. It’s basically a ball with hefty weight and various grooves that cause it to bounce rather unpredictably. Just toss it and watch your dog go nuts and try to chase it down. This toy can also float, which is especially great if your pup loves to swim. The Huck Large is actually so tough that the manufacturers offer a full replacement guarantee.

There is another toy on the market made of the same material as the Huck Large: The Hurley. But this time it is a bone. It is said to have the fun of a bone and a ball, which basically means that it is a bone that bounces. It floats in water and is quite resilient. This is a great choice for any dog who loves to gnaw, but also loves to play fetch.

Large dog toys are stocked in most pet stores. If there isn’t one near your area, don’t hesitate to check out the internet for sites where you can order things. Amazon.com, as always, has a large selection. You can also check a site called Ruffntuffdogtoys.com for toys of all sizes and durability strengths. The important part in all of this is that your dog is happy, and while not all toys may fit your dog’s tastes there is sure to be one out there for him or her.

If you want your dog to keep from chewing up your furniture during the day, or just want to see them happy, get some large dog toys to get them wagging their tails.
