Best Outdoor Dog Toys
Outdoor dog fetch toys are an important part of your dog's daily routine. They are designed to be tough enough to stand up to the elements and your dog's higher energy activities. Choosing the right outdoor dog toy depends on not only your dog's favourite games but also the environment you are playing in.
Toys for the dog park, for example, should be simple and ideally cheap because dog toys can easily get mixed up with another pup's toys and can get damaged or lost, so don't bring an expensive or treasured toy to the park.
Alternatively, summer dog toys for the backyard can be a little bigger and meant for different types of play, like tug-o-war.
If you are thinking, my dog doesn't like toys, don't worry, our list literally has something for any dog, no matter how rough or relaxed their favourite playtime activities are.
