Are some toys better than others?

While dogs have different preferences to toys, you should definitely make sure there is nothing on the toy that they can accidentally swallow. Dogs really like a good chew toy, especially as puppies, to help with the discomfort of teething. This may also help deter from furniture chewing. As your dog gets older, toys such as frisbees and balls will help give your dog some exercise. Make sure the toy works well with the size of your dog.
