Best Puppy Teething Toys for 2022

Able to soothe and clean new teeth as they grow, this stick is packed with ridges which you can fill with toothpaste or peanut butter to extend chew time and the benefits.

It can be used with dogs up to nine months of age until their teeth are fully formed. Available in small and large sizes, you can purchase the one which matches your breed best. Made with unique Kong toy rubber, it will withstand even the toughest of chewers.

Chewing a toy over and over again, leaving it on the floor and going back to it can obviously cause a bit of a germ-fest, which isn’t ideal if your puppy’s gums and teeth are in such a fragile situation.

This toy is biocote protected, which is an antimicrobial technology which prevents the growth and survival of microbes including bacteria, mould and fungi. Lower levels of all this mean a cleaner toy, mouth and home, and a longer-lasting toy.

It massages their gums to prevent any pain and is treated with a mint scent to make it more appealing until they get used to it. As a bonus, it can also float, so can be taken outside near water or into the bath.

The plastic material is durable yet soft, and it is also available as a ball, bone or dumbbell and in various colours.

This is a bone and rope which encourages chewing sessions. The bone and rope offer different textures and sensations which is great for a puppy who is newly exploring the world.

Made from the Kong classic rubber, it won’t wear away when chewed and it will soothe aching gums and teeth. The rope design also makes it easier for you to get involved, if you want to throw the toy or encourage playfulness.

It is an extra small size, great for young puppies or smaller breeds who may struggle with other larger, heavier toys.

Bacon flavoured (because what dog can resist), and the perfect small shape for them to get their jaws around, this dummy toy will satisfy their natural need to chew as well as helping to produce their future undestructive chewing habits.

Made from polymer, they aren’t only pretty indestructible but are also simple to wipe clean with a wipe of water. This will keep them clean for the next chew session. Both chews are slightly different shapes, which adds to their natural curiosity and sensations.

The bacon flavour is throughout so will never wear away, and it will keep them chewing for ages. Tiny bristles on the bone help keep every single tooth clean, and it will also help them beat boredom.

They are definitely best for small puppies, as larger dogs could break pieces off.

Made from an inert soft thermoplastic polymer, this toy also has a braided rope which can help satisfy the chewing instinct in puppies, and provide them with the surface they feel most comfortable.

The bristles on the key toy help to clean all those difficult to reach places on teeth, and also massage gums to relieve any pain. You can get involved too, throwing it for your puppy to fetch or using the rope as a tug toy.

Even if the rope was to become worn, the little teething toy would likely survive so we think it is great value for money.

Made from durable nylon to ensure no bits break off or it becomes tatty, this chew is available in peanut butter, chicken or bacon flavour to heighten the appeal of long-lasting use.

It not only helps to clean teeth but also controls plaque and tartar – very important when their teeth are only just coming through. It also encourages non-destructive chewing later in life.

The flavouring is throughout the chew, so is long-lasting and means they aren’t sprayed or dipped in artificial tastes. No matter how much they are used, they won’t splinter or cause any internal damage.

There is some natural wear over time, but any broken pieces will be too small to have an effect. We will, however, say that if your pup is quite a ferocious chewer, this may not be the best for them as some users have said it lasted a matter of hours with their dog.

Freezable chew toys are essentially designed to keep your dog cool in the warmer weather, and the cold temperatures can also help relieve any pain on your dog’s gums.

This ring is filled with purified water, so it can stay cold for hours. It still remains soft on gums and can relieve boredom and that innate need to chew. The ‘X’ shapes either side can hold any small treats to encourage them to use the toy, and ZNOKA suggests using standard Dentastick-style long chews in this shape.

It can float in water, and be thrown quite a distance in case you want to play a game of fetch.

A three-piece selection of toys, which cover teething, playtime and interaction.

The bone is for their teeth, with bristles to get every surface cleaned. Then there is a ring, which is fab if you want to get involved in throwing it or playing ‘tug’. A ball will also give them plenty of choice for interaction, chasing and playing.

All toys are made out of rubber and safe for little teeth and gums.

For puppies with no adult teeth just yet, these keys encourage non-destructive chewing and control plaque and tartar.

They aren’t for aggressive chewers as they aren’t the strongest and bulkiest, but could be good for any dogs who can’t seem to get to grips with the large, chunky, solid toys. On a more positive note, they can hold the toy with their front paws and use their very back teeth to chew, which gets those neglected back teeth cared for.

The plastic ring can provide a slightly different chewing texture, and also gives them a handy way to carry the keys around if this is something your pup does.

They’re available in three different sizes, so the extra small is great for toy breeds who can’t cope with something too large.
