1. A flavored squeaker toy that'll awaken two of their senses to create one hard-to-beat pastime. Promising review: " My dog, an Australian cattle dog and pitbull mix, can destroy everything but a Kong, and now this! It has become his favorite toy with all the textures and the squeak sound! He normally destroys things in 5–15 minutes, or a few days, or two weeks.
This has been the main toy every day for a month, with minimal wear. I just bought another one to keep on hand as he loves it so much." — David Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.
98 . 2. A set of coiled springs sure to be ~spirals~ of fun for your sweet kitty.
Promising review: "My two cats play with these constantly! They're very durable, have not stretched out at all . They were a very reasonable price as some pet toys can get quite pricey." — Lynne Oakley Get a 12-piece set from Amazon for $5.
99 . 3. A rope toy and perch your birdie will be chirping for joy over.
Promising review: "My baby Ivy loves her spiral perch and enjoys playing on it in all possible ways. This and her bed seem to be off-limit to poop. She's only 4 months and for now, it's very durable .
" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 . 4.
A pack of chew toys made for pups with smaller teeth, but the same desire to chew and destroy as their larger counterparts. Promising review: "I like the variety for my dog, she prefers the rope toys. These toys have been durable for her, holding up well.
She's a cattle Jack, high energy dog, plays with her toys on a daily basis. I would purchase again, shipping was fast." — Paige Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $13.
99 . 5. A monkey-shaped tug toy that'll have them going B-A-N-A-N-A-S!! Promising review: "Dogs love it.
I brought it on a camping trip and all they did was play with it. They usually tear up anything that has stuffing in it, but this one actually survived. Maybe they were distracted by playing with the ropes.
Either way, they love it. I’ll definitely be buying a few more." — Shannon Get it from Amazon for $18.
40 (available in nine colors). 6. A puzzle equipped with hidden treat compartments to challenge (then reward!) your pup after they exert all their mental energy.
Promising review: “If your dog is treat motivated, I would 100 recommend it! It was raining, and I couldn’t walk my dog. This helped them become busy.” — Anonymous Get it from Target for $16.
99 . 7. A hanging, portable, multi-level cat condo that not only frees up floor space in your tiny apartment but will give your kitty a discrete hiding space that they can jump in and out of as they please.
Maybe not a toy exactly, but what's more fun than having your own room!? Promising review: " I purchased this because we live in a small home, and our cat tree was taking up too much space in the living room. I am super happy with my purchase. I have three cats, and they all go in it! In the photo [on the right] on the top is our 16-pound cat and it is holding him good! I was worried when I saw how high it was off the ground, but they jumped into it easily ! I love how much space it has saved me and how easy it was to assemble; it took me three minutes.
It's great material, too. I think it is thicker than the canopy for my gazebo, haha." — Ariel Get it from Amazon for $60.
34 . 8. A chew toy designed not only to feel good on their canines, but also scrape off plaque while they chew away in bliss.
We LOVE a 2-for-1 deal. Promising review: "My pit can shred toys within hours, if not minutes, depending on the toy. He is not a bit interested in other tough toys for whatever reason .
This toy he loves and after a week of chewing on it daily (I never leave him with any toy unsupervised) he has yet to tear it up or break it. This is hands-down the best chew toy I've bought." — Melanie B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors). 9.
A retractable hanging tug rope that'll keep them entertained for hours on end (and protect you from dislocating your shoulder by not being on the other end).

" — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in four sizes/styles). 10.
A squeaker toy they won't be able to destroy in the first five minutes after you give it to them. Which, admittedly, might be annoying for you as you hear the squeak for hours on end, but hey — at least you'll be able to get other stuff done around the house while they do their thing. Promising review: "My dog loves this toy! He may be little but let me tell you.
..he can literally chew up anything.
..except this! Thank goodness I found this.
I feel so bad because he hardly ever has toys because he chews them up so fast. He plays with this all day and hasn’t put one dent in it. Thank you!" — Steph Get it from Amazon for $12.
99 (available in two colors). 11. A bird activity set that, I'm sorry, is hands down one of the CUTEST things I have ever seen.
Low-key I want these little toys to fidget with when I'm bored on Zoom calls?!? Either way, the reviewers have a consensus: birdies love these little toys. This set includes: a skateboard, a wooden block puzzle, a basketball and hoop, a stacking toy, and a ring toss. Promising review: " This set offered the durability and activity our parrots needed.
It also helped with personal interaction with them, while training and entertaining them to achieve new tasks. Guaranteed fun and quality time with our parrots." — baltimore wife Get it from Amazon for $15.
99 . 12. A weather-resistant Nerf flying disc they can safely play with in alllllll kinds of climates — rain, snow, heat.
..GO FETCH! Promising review: "If you have big dogs who can chew anything this is a must-have! They can’t chew it and love to play with it! I have two beautiful Labs, big ones!!! And they play with it all the time and haven’t been able to chew it up !" — Bobbi Patterson Get it from Amazon for $5.
95+ (available in four colors). 13. A plush triceratops toy that 1.
is totally adorable and 2. is made with double-stitched seams and a unique chew-guard technology for added strength and durability. All pups deserve a cute little friend they can chew on without being able to completely tear it to shreds in an instant.
Promising review: "Absolutely love our dog's new toy. We have a golden retriever and she’s never had a stuffed toy for more than a few hours before destroying it. We’ve tried every brand out there.
We finally gave in and tried this brand and hallelujah, so far it’s indestructible. Our dog has chewed and chewed and chewed on it for weeks. She carries it everywhere.
She sleeps with it. She throws it in the air and catches it. She lays down and holds it and chomps on it for the entire evening.
And so far it looks almost brand-new." — Karen Hart Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (available in four sizes and 16 styles).
14. A pack of durable rope toys so they can have some much-needed variety when it comes to playtime (would YOU want to tug on the same rope everyday?? I don't think so). Promising review: "There is nothing more annoying than cleaning up the mess of the torn-up toys that my mini version of Cujo leaves in her wake.
Whether it's white stuffing or tattered casings, Tonks the impaler puts all her toys out of their misery in short order. That has not been the case with Pacific Pups. Try as she might to destroy them, these rugged toys have stood up to the Tonks test.
She has a very specific affinity for the giraffe rope and is constantly looking for the next game of fetch or tug-of-war. I would highly recommend these toys for anyone tired of cleaning up the mess left by anyone with a toothy pooch. " — LeAnn and Dave Get a 11-pack from Amazon for $21.
99 . 15. A "ripple rug" that can be used by your kitty however they choose.
Prop it up to let them tunnel, or lay it out for them to scratch as much as they like. Either way, the non-slip bottom will keep it in place (and protect your floors, no matter HOW much fun they get up to). Promising review : " My cat started playing with the mat before I even got it entirely unboxed ! She loves tunneling over and under the top mat and hiding her favorite toys.
I readjust the top rug every couple of days so it is like a brand new adventure. Easy to clean and move out of the way if needed. Total hit in our household.
" — Connie Get it from Chewy for $46 (available in two colors). 16. An aerodynamic flying disc toy , because they always end up cracking a Frisbee in half when they catch it and then want to chew it to pieces.
Despite its durability, this disc boasts that it's gentle on their teeth and gums. This flying disc is like no other — it's lightweight, buoyant in water, easy to clean, and gentle on dogs' mouths. What more could you want in a toy? Promising review: "This is my dog's favorite toy, and one of mine, too.
It floats, which is extremely important since my dog always finds the water and has lost many sinking toys this way (thus polluting the creek). It can be thrown either like a Frisbee or rolled on its edge. It is soft enough for her to grab, bending if necessary, and because of this, won't hurt her as she catches it, or if it hits her by accident.
It's pretty tough, but I don't recommend giving it to a dog beyond the fetch game: they do eventually shred the materials. But if used only for fetch they last a reasonable amount of time. And they're good enough that, despite the cost, I always end up buying the same brand to replace the one she's destroyed last.
Highly recommend!" — Erika Get it from Amazon for $9.77 . 17.
A rodent toy set that comes with 10 small wooden toys actually designed to be chewed and gnawed on safely *without* completely falling apart. This set includes : a small bell roller, a dumbbell, a unicycle, a water grass ball, a rattan ball, a molar block with rope, an apple branch, a molar string, a pine ball, and a programming ring. Promising review: "I bought these for my two pet rats and they love them.
They are very durable and will last a while." — Kayla Salazar Get it from Amazon for $14.99 .
18. A treat-dispensing ball guaranteed to change their life and maybe even last their entire life (it's just that tough). Promising review: "I was searching for a great toy for my pitbull (8 months old) and decided on this toy.
He is a chewer and destroys anything he can rip apart. I went with the green X-large size ball, and he just loves it. It has some weight to it, and he still picks it up and easily runs around with it.
I try only to let him play with it while supervised, and so far, it is still in one piece after a month! When you throw it, it rolls, does not bounce." — DZ Get it from Amazon for $12.22 .
19. A piece of string on a stick because, sometimes, it's about going back to basics and reminding your baby that it's really about the simple things in life. Promising review : "My husband says, 'It’s just a strip of cloth on a stick!' Yet our two boys know the cloth has just the right pattern, strength, and floatiness to make it fascinating to cat brains! When the strip is shaken rapidly in midair over their heads, the pattern appears to strobe and they go wacky! Good jumping exercise!" — dc99 Get it from Chewy for $4.
64+ (available in two styles). 20. A Wobble Wag Giggle ball that'll be just as entertaining for you to watch them play with as it is for your pup to chase around as it rolls around and shakes to giggling sounds.
Promising review: "I have a 7-month-old corgi puppy, and this was his favorite toy out of all the toys he got for Christmas! He loves it so much that I have to put it up and away just so I can sleep. It's sturdy and not too noisy (I live in an apartment). He prefers toys that make noise instead of plush toys without squeakers.
It's lasted a whole week of play without any problems, unlike another toy he already tore up, so it seems durable, at least for small to medium breeds." — Amanda Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three styles).
21. An interactive toy designed to withstand gnawing and tossing from the littlest fur babies out there (think: ferrets, rabbits, rats, chinchillas!!!). You can hide their treats in this and it will be a fun challenge for your pet to try and retrieve them! Promising review: "My lionhead rabbit had a BALL with this! He has mastered it within 30 minutes.
I love how durable the pieces are (because he throws them around and bites them) and I think they need even more levels! When he's done he looks at me like, 'OK that was fun, what's next? Can we do it again??' It's really great and I love it!" — Katie Get it from Amazon for $17.84 . 22.
A 3-in-1 interactive cat toy that's *quite literally* packed with all the bells and whistles your kitty cat could ever imagine. This battery-operated contraption features flying butterflies, rotating feathers, soft mechanical noises, and even a Whac-A-Mole game. 😱 Note: You can even buy replacement attachments for this toy as your cat chews on them or if you want to customize it for them! Promising review: "This 3-in-1 cat toy is a HIT! A MUST-HAVE FOR THE CATS! It's durable and does as advertised.
We've been through countless toys over the last decade and this one is loved by all our cats. When at home, we keep it plugged into an outlet and when the cats want it on they'll literally tap tap and we know it's time to turn it on. On a side note, the seller is very responsive as well!" — Summer Get it from Amazon for $28.
98 (available in four colors). 23. A tug-of-war toy made to be just as flexible as it is durable, which'll make for the most intense tugging competitions of all time.
Who will reign supreme? Your dog and their chompers, of course. Promising review: "LOVE this toy. Our puppy loooooooves to play tug so I was looking for something that had 'reach.
' This has been awesome. She loves to play tug with it, and she's always careful to grab wherever we're not holding it (if we're holding it on both ends, she'll go for the middle). Can even play standing up.
She's 12.5 pounds and hasn't destroyed it yet after a couple of weeks. Her current favorite toy.
Highly recommended." — Debbie Wilreker Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
24. A cat teaser toy that may just be a feather attached to a fishing pole, but to your cat, will be the greatest invention of all time. Plus, it's incredibly durable and will survive their sharp little teeth and claws.
Promising review: "Handle is long and sturdy, almost a little heavy! The feathers are great and much more durable than other cat toys . Variation is nice too! Definitely recommend." — sunnyg24 Get it from Amazon for $9.
95 . 25. A hide-a-squirrel plush dog toy that, you guessed it, is filled with tiny little "squirrels" they'll *actually* be able to catch for once.
How exciting!! Promising review: "Our puppy lives to destroy. Every toy we have gotten her lays shredded in indistinguishable ruins with the exception of this one little squirrel house. We made bets on how long it would last – 15 seconds being the favorite choice.
She doesn't waste time searching out the squirrels in the house. No, she just shakes the house with her head vigorously and the squirrels go flying. This is her favorite toy.
She carries the squirrels around like they're her babies. Her favorite pull toy is the squirrel house and it's held up better than any toy actually made to be a pulI toy. I really, really don't get it – but this is the Samsonite of all dog toys.
" – In the Boonies Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes). 26.
A motorized cat toy to keep your kitty engaged with a faux fur tail that unexpectedly pops out for them to claw at, satisfying their innate urge to HUNT! Lol. Promising review: “My cat likes the toy a lot but it’s definitely one of those toys you bring out every once and a while or they will get bored of it. It’s loud for sure but it may actually be an engaging aspect.
I recommend!” — John T Get it from Target for $22.99 . 27.
Lastly, a flopping fish toy that's *technically* for the cats, however reviewers note their pups have taken a liking to them just as much — if not more. Promising review: "Got this for my two-year-old Bernedoodle for Christmas (yes I buy my dogs Christmas presents 😂). Anyway, my dog is very particular about his toys and he LOVES this thing.
Hasn’t put it down since I gave it to him. It flips and flops every time he touches it. He prances around the house with it flopping in his mouth all day long, he’s very proud of his catch.
" — Melissa Odsather Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in six different fish). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
