The best chew toys for dogs to improve oral health

We love these CHIWAVA Squeaky Latex Toys. Each toy has a soft squeak sound and can be used for playing fetch outdoors. This pack of 3 toys are designed for small to medium dogs. Soft, squeaky and no stuffing.

Customer Review: "Tough and fun products that my puppy hasn’t managed to destroy yet. These items are more durable than other makes of toys that I have purchased."

Made from durable rope, this MEKEET Giraffe Rope Toy is a favourite. Judging by reviews and the description, this toy is best suited for smaller breeds - those who nibble, rather than aggressively chew. It's great for teething pups, too.

Customer Review: "I have a 4-month-old Vizsla, and he’s teething, poor little fella. They’re about to come through his gums, and he seems to be very fond of gumming the giraffe’s feet with the back of his mouth. Also, it’s a great toy for playing fetch with, since being cotton rope, it’s not as noisy when it lands on the wood floor."

Made from safe and non-toxic material, this set of 10 WeFine Dog Chew Toys is a great companion for a small dog or puppy who wants to chew. Great for dental health, the ropes can clean your dog's teeth by reducing plaque build-up. Apart from the duck toy, this set is durable - and will keep your pup away from the furniture.

Customer Review: "I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the toys in this selection. I wanted something that my 10-week-old Yorkie/Bichon Frise Cross could play with and chew on that wouldn't break her teeth whilst she was chewing on them. There were a couple of toys that were too big for her but she'll grow into them. Although the yellow plush squeaky duck is slightly flimsy and cheap, I can heartily recommend this selection of rope toys as being excellent value. The set has something for every type of puppy I can think of."

If your pup has a hankering for cheese, this chew toy is cheddar than the rest. OK – we’ll stop now. The Nylabone Extreme Tough Cheese Bone Chew is durable, cleans teeth and satisfies your dogs’ natural urge to chew. Nylabone boasts that even aggressive chewers will have a challenge.

Customer Review: “My lab is a really strong chewer and destroys everything eventually. This one is still going!”

This squeaky Eileen & Elisa Indestructible Chew Toy is made from non-toxic rubber and judging by most reviews, is practically indestructible - which is what we want to hear. With a soft texture and ridged design, this rubber toy is a great companion teeth-cleaning companion to your extra-large pooch that may tear through everything else in a matter of minutes.

Customer Review: "My friend owns a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and I wanted to get him something he could play with a chew on which would last more than a weekend. Prior to this, I'd seen him destroy some chew toys made of rope in a day. This toy is made of hard-set rubber - almost doesn't bend but it's not rigid by any means, which is perfect for a dog with a strong chew. Given the small price tag, I would say this is a great buy."

The Kong Classic Chew Dog Toy is another favourite on this list. Great for medium-sized to larger dogs, this toy can be filled with kibble or peanut butter to satisfy your pooch's hankering for a nibble. Although it's not indestructible, this rubber toy is durable with an erratic bounce. It's a great choice for a pooch that loves to chew and play.

Customer Review: "Our dog hasn't made a dent in this which is a miracle! He loves it as a basic toy, but he also loves it frozen with food stuffed inside. Lots of recipes on YouTube, then seal the end with peanut butter. I don't know why I waited so long to buy one. Keeps puppy entertained and her brain activity for ages - I think it might be magic!"

Why not provide hours of pull and tug play with the Grrelli Tyre Tugger? It is made up of a bright rope and a tough tyre - which help your pooch play. Available in three sizes - it covers all strengths, sizes and breeds of dogs.

This bacon-flavoured dental toy will help keep your canine's gnashers in tip-top condition! Made from tough, durable nylon and a soft, flexible polymer, this Nylabone Pro Action Dental Chew Toy gives your dog a great "cleaning performance". It serves as a great way to keep your dog's teeth and gums healthy.

Customer Review: "My doggy wouldn't eat any dental chews and hated having her teeth cleaned but she adores this! Best purchase I've made for the health of her mouth. Would highly recommend it!"

Packed with flavour and exceptionally tough, the TastyBone Nylon range is tried and tested offering that keeps even the most vigorous chewers chomping for days. With an irresistible peanut butter flavour, your pooch will fall for this durable TastyBone Peanut Butter Flavour Toy. Furthermore, this toy lasts more than five minutes.

Customer Review: "Most chew toys and treats don't last long with my staffie but this is still holding up since Christmas. It's durable and is taking a long time to wear down. The packaging says it's safe if they ingest any small parts as it's edible, which is reassuring to know. Would recommend it for any dog that destroys a toy within minutes!"
