Plush Dog Toy FAQs

Are plush toys good for dogs? Plush toys may not be long-lasting, but they can benefit some dogs. Puppies especially enjoy plush dog toys. They are soft and comforting and can help relieve some of the pain associated with teething. Adult dogs enjoy plush toys, too, even if they do tend to destroy them!

Why do dogs destroy plush toys? Dogs often see plush dog toys as prey. They instinctually chase, bite, and violently shake these fluffy toys, just like they would if they were hunting real prey.
