10 Reviews: Best Dog Toys for Boredom (Nov 2023)

Let’s start with this adorable egg toy, which designed to alleviate your dog’s boredom. Furthermore, for your adorable puppy who enjoys chewing, these chick and egg toys are an excellent choice. Don’t be concerned about the safety and durability of these toys; they are double stitched and have low stuffing, making them a long-lasting fun game that your pups love.

The next item on the list is this feeding mat, which is not only useful for feeding your dog but also serves as a fun activity for them. Simply fill the mat with your dog’s favorite treat and let your dog hunt for it on the mat. Because it’s machine washable, cleaning the mat is a breeze, and you can use it, again and again, to make feeding him more enjoyable.

This is such a great idea for dogs!!! My trainer recommended it because my German Shepherd loves to work for EVERYTHING. She LOVES to
“Forage” for her food in her snuffle Mat. Every time I take it out she gets SO excited. She can barely contain herself. And when she’s done she wants to lay with it. Absolutely love this product.

Feeding your dog’s favorite treat can be a lot of fun if you make it a game for him to get the tasty reward. This Tornado Puzzle Game with 4 layers of rotating discs may be a good option to try. Simply fill the compartments that can be hidden in three of the layers with any treat your dog enjoys. Then, train your dog to use his nose or paw to rotate the different layers in different directions in order to find the hidden goodies.

I’m R! My foster humans wanted me to have a fun toy to keep me busy! I’m a husky and very energetic. This toy is challenging enough to be fun for me, but not too hard that my foster sister, a mere chihuahua get discouraged.

This is yet another feeder toy that will liven up your dog’s feeding experience. It has meal-lengthening ridges and mazes that you can use to fill your dog’s favorite treat or meal. This feeder is also useful for preventing bloat, regurgitation, and obesity. Furthermore, since it has a non-slip base, you won’t have to worry about it moving around.

Our adult male began having eating issues when we got a new puppy. Anxious thinking the little one was going to steal his food so would eat it down as fast as he could to the point he would dry heave. This bowl has put him right back to where he needed to be. Great product.

Combat boredom in your dog with this flip board, and then watch how much fun they have with it. With a fun hide-and-seek challenge to find tasty rewards that you can fill into under cones or sliding disks on this board, this board will work your dog’s mind. You don’t have to worry about it moving around when your dog plays with it because it has a non-slip rubber ring at the base.

My chihuahua is far too smart for our own good and I now have three puzzles that I rotate feeding her in because eating her food in the bowl is just too boring for her, She always has so much fun searching and finding her food. The levers on this one are new to her and took her a whole 20 seconds to figure out but she definitely enjoys it and I'm a happy mom.

The UFO-shaped ball with eye-catching colors will entice your dog to take it. Since it is made of natural soft rubber, it is safe for your dog to play and chew on. Don’t worry, it’s bite-resistant, making it a long-lasting ball. You can also add snacks to it, which will help you develop your dog’s brain as he learns how to roll the ball to get the snack.

Omega Paw is here with this treat ball to combine feeding and playtime. With this ball in your hand, you can play a game of toss and fetch with your dog, then let him get his tasty reward that you’ve filled inside the ball. It’s simple to clean, and you can use it to entertain your dog at any time and from any place.

Perfect toy for my 20 lbs poodle mix! We had a plastic one which he learned to throw against walls to break open, until he eventually actually broke it, so we purchased this one. He tries to throw it against walls, but there's no breaking open this toy! Keira him busy and entertained!

This Flirt Pole toy is great for outdoor play with your dog; it requires a play area of at least 15′ x 15′ as it allows you to throw it to train your dog’s physical activity. It is made of durable polyester webbing with a pre-attached lure that allows you to play with ease and safety. This toy is a lifesaver for creating a fun time with your lovely furry friend, regardless of the size of your dog.

Very good interactive toy to help get some energy out of our dog. He knows where we keep it and will go to that spot and look..i.e. ask for it several times a day. I have to regulate the play sessions and shut it down when I know he's tired, otherwise I don't think he's stop. Have had it for a couple of months now and with daily play, sometimes multiple sessions a day, it's held up very well. Not a chew toy or a tug of war toy. If your dog likes to chase/herd, it will likely be a big hit.

Let’s move on to this one-of-a-kind dog training mat, which you can use to train your dog’s hunting instinct. You can fill this mat with snacks or small toys and then let your dog discover them. It aids in the training of your dog’s sense of smell, the consumption of your dog’s energy, and the loss of weight. Keep your dog occupied to keep him from becoming bored and engaging in destructive behavior.

Our dachshund is developing cataracts, so I decided to encourage use of his nose. I started with it flat, but soon discovered he prefers it in it’s bowl shape. He really gets in to it. And I enjoy watching him. If you have a scent hound, I recommend it. Also if you any kind of dog they will probably like it.

Last but not least, as the name implies, it is a treat-dispensing toy that is small in size, making it ideal for your small dog or puppies. Yes, since it is brightly colored, it will entice your dog to grab, chew, or gnaw on it. After the treats have been consumed, use this floatable dog chew toy for fetch, toss, and catch. Your dog will like it!

Very useful for our labradoodle and goldendoodle puppies. We take a normal sized carrot, wide end in first, and then cut it about a quarter inch beyond the opening. This holds it nice and tight so that the puppies can chew the carrot. We also froze beef bone broth in them with a few training treats in it. They really loved that (outside!). We ordered two different colors to keep track if one was stealing from the other.
