Why Do Dogs Like Squeaky Toys? A Play Guide

on March 07, 2024

For a dog that enjoys squeaks, sound can be part of the fun: pick up a toy, give it a squeak and invite a shared game. Other dogs prefer crinkles, fetch or a quieter toy. Your dog's response is the best place to start.

Try sound as an invitation to play

Offer the toy and give your dog room to approach. If they return to it and engage, build a short game around that interest. If they turn away from the sound, try a different style rather than making it louder.

Squeak or crinkle?

Fruity Fun Squeakers are 11 cm latex toys in fruit shapes. For a different sound and shape, the Newspaper Toy measures 25 × 18 cm and has a paper squeaker.

Prefer a ball game? Our interactive dog toys offer fetch and shared-play options.

Supervise play and remove damaged toys or loose parts.

Shop squeaky toys, or use our size and material buying checklist to narrow your choice.
