Dog toys
What better way to spread some holiday cheer than with a new toy for your four-legged friend? Check out this list of the best dog toys to give to your furry friend on Christmas morning.
From holiday-themed toys to interactive dog toys, there’s something for every type of dog.
And who knows, you might even get a little bit of peace and quiet while they’re occupied with their new toy!
Kong Classic
The Kong classic dog toy is a timeless favorite for dogs of all ages. It’s perfect for stuffing with treats or peanut butter and will keep your dog entertained for hours on end.
You can make it even more challenging for your dog by freezing the Kong once it has been filled. This makes the peanut butter (or other spreadable fillings) harder to get, taking your dog longer to get all the food.
Kong flyer
The Kong flyer is the perfect toy for fetch lovers. It’s made out of durable rubber, so it will withstand even the most enthusiastic dogs.
This is Luna’s favorite outdoor fetch toy and it holds up very well to her biting and chewing on it.
Kong wobbler
The Kong Wobbler is a fun feeder for dogs who tend to eat too fast. It’s also great for dogs that need more mental stimulation in their day. All you do is place their food, or some small treats, in the wobbler and place it on the floor.
Then your dog has to push it around and knock it over to get the food out. It’s the perfect way to give your dog treats, mental stimulation, and a little exercise all at the same time.
One note: It only works with smaller-sized kibble or treats as they do need to be able to fit through the hole on the side of the wobbler.
Pet Zone IQ treat ball
The Pet Zone IQ treat dispensing ball is a great toy for dogs who are food motivated. It dispenses treats as your dog plays with it, keeping them entertained for hours.
You can adjust the difficulty level to make it more challenging for your dog. This is a great way to slow down eating and keep your dog active.
Dragon squeaker plush dog toy
The dragon squeaker plush is a great toy for dogs who love to chew their plush toys. It’s made with chew guard technology, making it more durable than your average plush toy.
It also has a squeaker, making it even more fun for your dog. This toy is sure to keep your dog entertained for hours on end.
*While this toy is resistant to chewing, it is not recommended for heavy, destructive chewers.
Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound brick puzzle game
The Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound puzzle game is a popular interactive puzzle for dogs. It will keep your dog mentally stimulated while they try to figure out how to get to the treats in it.
There are 3 types of compartments to hide treats in, making it harder for your dog to get to the treats quickly.
Outward Hound invincibles snake
The Outward Hound invincibles snake dog toy is a great toy for dogs who loves plush toys. It’s made with durable materials, making it resistant to some chewing.
It also has a squeaker, making it even more fun for your dog. This toy is sure to keep your dog entertained for hours on end.
*While this toy is resistant to chewing, it is not recommended for heavy, destructive chewers.
Dog puzzle feeder toy
The dog puzzle feeder toy is a great way to slow down eating and keep your dog mentally stimulated. It’s a puzzle toy that dispenses treats as your dog plays with it.
This toy requires your dog to use their sense of smell to find the treats and then use their paw or nose to move the slider to get to the treat.
PetSafe automatic ball launcher
The PetSafe automatic ball launcher is a great toy for dogs who love to play fetch with a tennis ball. It’s an automatic ball launcher that will keep your dog entertained for hours on end.
You can adjust the distance and angle of the launch, making it more challenging for your dog. Plus it has a safety feature to prevent launching the ball when anything is too close to it.
iFetch interactive ball launchers for dogs
The iFetch interactive ball launcher is another option for an automatic ball launcher. It comes in two sizes, small and large, so you can get the one best suited for your dog.
It also has three distance settings, making it more challenging for your dog.
Outward Hound hide a squirrel
The Outward Hound hide a squirrel is a great toy for dogs who love to play with plush toys but need a little mental stimulation.
It’s an interactive plush toy that requires your dog to figure out how to get to the squirrels inside. Along with the fun of getting the squirrels out, each squirrel has a squeaker in it for your dog to play with.
Hear doggy silent squeaker dog toy
The hear doggy silent squeaker dog toy is a great toy for dogs who love to play with squeaky toys. It’s especially good for those of us humans who get annoyed with the constant squeaking of the squeaky toys.
That’s because the Hear Doggy Silent Squeaker toy has an ultrasonic squeaker that makes its sound outside of human hearing range.
This means your dog can squeak this as much as they like without annoying you.
Wobble wag giggle ball
The Wobble wag giggle ball is a great toy for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds.
By engaging your dog’s natural curiosity and instinct to play with giggling sounds, this toy provides great exercise indoors or outdoors.
This toy is one of the few that gets Luna running around the house for more than a few minutes. All it takes is to give it a little nudge so it makes its giggling noise and she is up after it.
Frisco milk and cookies plush squeaky dog toy
The Frisco milk and cookies plush squeaky dog toy is a great toy for dogs who love to play with plush toys. It’s a squeaky toy that also has a crinkle sound, making it even more fun for your dog.
Plus, it’s shaped like a milk carton and cookies, making it extra cute.
ZippyPaws interactive squeaky hide-and-seek plush gingerbread house
The ZippyPaws interactive squeaky hide-and-seek plush gingerbread house is a great Christmas-themed interactive toy for your dog.
It comes with three cute gingerbread men that can be put inside a matching gingerbread house for your dog to dig out. Once out, the fun isn’t over as each gingerbread man has a squeaker to give your dog additional entertainment.
Christmas rope toy set
The Christmas rope toy set is a festive set of toys perfect for dogs that love to play tug. These Christmas rope toys are great for small to medium-sized dogs.
Playing tug with your dogs is a great way to spend some quality time with your furry family members.
Chuckit! Max glow ball
The Chuckit! Max glow ball is a great toy for dogs who love to play fetch, especially this time of year as it gets dark so early.
This ball is made with safe photoluminescent material, making it easy to find. The best part is, there are no batteries. Just place it under any bright light for 5 minutes and you will have 20 to 30 minutes of playtime with this glowing ball.
Bubbletastic bacon bubble machine for dogs
The Bubbletastic bacon bubble machine for dogs is a great toy for dogs who love chasing bubbles.
It comes with 8 ounces of bacon-scented bubble solution and makes the bubbles so you don’t have to.
KONG Wubba ballistic friends
The KONG Wubba ballistic friends dog toy is the perfect present for dogs who love to play fetch. It’s also a great tug toy. The long tails make it easy to pick up and the durable fabric stands up to heavy play.
Plus, it comes in a variety of fun animal shapes, like the bunny pictured above.
Dog snowball plush toys
The dog snowball plush toys come with 8 snowballs that have snowman faces. There are 4 different faces for a variety of cute snowball plush balls for your dog.
These are great for fetch and also make cute Christmas decorations your dog can play with.
Christmas dog squeaky toy with crinkle paper
The Christmas dog squeaky toy with crinkle paper is a great Christmas gift for any dog that enjoys plush squeaky toys.
They have a squeaker in the body and crinkle paper in the tails and ears making this a fun toy for dogs that enjoy different sounds in their toys.
You can even choose from different characters including Santa Claus, a snowman, and elk (I think it looks like a reindeer).
Dog chews
Dog chews are a great way to keep your dog occupied. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors.
Antlers
Antlers are a natural chew that is long-lasting and great for dogs who like to chew. They are a great option to give your dog something to chew on that you approve of.
Bully sticks
Bully sticks are a popular chew for dogs. They are made from dried beef pizzle and are high in protein.
I will add that bully sticks are probably Luna’s and Morgan’s absolute favorite chew we’ve ever given them. While they enjoy all the chews on this list, this is by far their favorite.
Bones
Natural bones are another great chew for those dogs that love to chew. Just make sure you are not getting the smoked bones.
Unfortunately, I don’t recommend smoked bones for a few reasons. If you have a large dog, like Luna, or a very food-motivated dog like Morgan, they don’t last very long.
Another reason I don’t recommend smoked bones is that they give my dogs diarrhea. I’m not sure if it’s because of how they are smoked or the fact that my dogs eat them so quickly.
The natural bones last much longer, more like a long-term chew, and have never given either of my dogs an upset stomach.
Nylabones
Nylabones are synthetic chew toys that come in various shapes, sizes, and flavors. They are durable and long-lasting, making them great for dogs who like to chew.
While Nylabones are great for dogs like Luna, which like to chew but wouldn’t be considered aggressive, they aren’t as good for aggressive chewers.
Morgan is a very aggressive chewer with a new Nylabone and can get it gnawed down far enough to have to throw away within a few hours.
I will say, the ones labeled “aggressive chewers” do hold up longer than the regular ones.
Earth Animal no-hide dog chews
Earth Animal no-hide dog chews are a rawhide alternative for dogs. They come in multiple flavors including chicken, beef, pork, and peanut butter.
They are also made with natural ingredients and don’t contain any synthetic chemicals or preservatives, making them a great option for those looking for a more natural chew.
Himalayan dog chews
Himalayan dog chews are made from yak and cow milk and are gluten and grain free. They are a hard cheese chew that is long-lasting.
They are a great option to give your dog something different to chew on.
Dog treats
No Christmas is complete without a special treat! Make sure your furry best friend doesn’t feel left out by picking up some festive and tasty treats.
You’ll find everything from doggie biscuits to flavored chews . . . and everything in between.
Just be sure to check the ingredients list to make sure the treat is suitable for your pup.
Beggin’ Strips
Beggin’ Strips are a popular dog treat made by Purina. They come in a variety of flavors including bacon, cheese, and peanut butter.
While Beggin’ Strips are not one of the healthiest dog treats, my dogs love them!
Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets Mini-Rewards Grain-Free Dog Training Treats
Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets Mini-Rewards Grain-Free Dog Training Treats are a great option for those looking for a grain-free treat. They come in multiple flavors including chicken, salmon, and turkey.
One of the things I love about these treats is that they are great training treats due to their small size.
Zuke’s Mini Naturals Holiday Trees Turkey & Cranberry Recipe Dog Treats

These treats are in a festive tree shape and have less than 3 calories per treat. Making them the perfect, guilt-free treat during the holiday season.

They are also made in the USA with all-natural ingredients. And they come in a cute gingerbread man shape making them a great choice for Christmas or any time of the year.

These Blue Buffalo Health Bars Natural Crunchy Dog Treats Biscuits are a healthy and crunchy treat for your pup. These dog biscuits are baked with oatmeal and cinnamon, making them a great holiday treat.

They also come in multiple flavors, including the holiday version, a gingerbread flavor.
Subscription Service
A monthly subscription service is a great way to spoil your dog all year long.
Bark Box
Bark Box is a monthly subscription service that sends you treats and toys in the mail. The boxes have a different theme each month.
The box pictured above is a Scooby-Doo themed box. I don’t believe they repeat themes, so you probably never get exactly what is pictured above.
For more information about Bark Box check out my Bark Box review.
Super Chewer
Super Chewer is also by Bark Box and is designed for those dogs that are heavy or aggressive chewers.
These toys, while not indestructible, will stand up much longer than regular toys to an aggressive chewer.
Some of the toys are even meant to be destroyed and have a second toy underneath the top cover.
This is noted on the tag that comes attached to each toy so you will know which ones have the toy inside the outer covering.
Similar to Bark Box, Super Chewer comes with both toys and treats each month.
For more information about Super Chewer check out my review of Super Chewer.
Bark Bright Dental Kit
The Bark Bright Dental Kit is also by Bark Box and has dental chews with dog toothpaste.
You put the dog toothpaste on the dental chew and give it to your dog once a day.
The toothpaste with the dental chew cleans your dog’s teeth better than a dental chew by itself (according to their website).
My dogs really enjoyed the taste of the dental chews and toothpaste from Bright Box.
Check out my review of Bark Bright Dental Kit for more information.
Dog Clothing
Dogs need clothing too! Especially if you live in a colder climate with a dog with short fur.
But, even if your dog doesn’t need clothing, there are some really adorable options for them.
ThunderShirt
The ThunderShirt is a shirt that wraps around your dog’s chest and is designed to help calm them.
I’ve never used one, but I have heard good things about them.
They come in different sizes to fit any dog.

Black Rhino Dog Leash
This is a great heavy-duty dog leash. It’s six feet long and has two padded handles for comfort and control. One handle is close to your dog, giving you more control when you need it.
It comes in multiple colors and is perfect for medium and large dogs. It will work for small dogs, though you won’t be able to use the second handle on a small dog.
I love this leash as it gives me more control of Luna when we are walking by homes she normally pulls by (other houses with dogs). Plus, the padded handle is very comfortable to hold on to.
