How to choose a water toy for your dog?
A dog water toy should above all float well, be easy to spot on the surface and be the right size for your dog. Floating balls, rings and retrieving toys are useful for swimming, summer trips and as motivation for dogs that enjoy play more than swimming itself.
Easy to spot on the water
A toy can quickly disappear from view on the water, especially in waves or farther from shore. Bright colours and distinctive shapes are therefore practical because both dog and handler can find them more easily.
Choose the size for your dog
The toy should be large enough to grip safely, but still comfortable for the dog to carry while swimming. Consider both the dog's overall size and the size of their mouth.
For retrieving and first games in the water
A floating toy can motivate your dog to move in the water and make swimming together more fun. Start in calm, shallow water and gradually increase the retrieving distance according to your dog's experience and fitness.
A water toy is not a safety aid
A floating toy makes swimming more enjoyable and can motivate a dog to swim, but it does not replace a life jacket. For longer swims, paddleboarding, boating or deeper and more demanding water, consider a suitable dog life jacket that provides support and helps conserve energy.
Frequently asked questions about dog water toys
Which water toy should I choose for my dog?
Choose according to your dog's size, style of play and what they like to retrieve. The toy should float, be clearly visible on the surface and be easy for the dog to grip even while swimming.
Is a water toy suitable for a dog that is just learning to swim?
Yes. If your dog is interested in the toy, it can help build a positive association with water. Start in calm, shallow water and never force a dog to swim.
What size floating toy should I choose?
It must be large enough that the dog cannot swallow it, but still easy to carry comfortably. Small and large dogs may therefore need different sizes of the same type of toy.
Does a dog need a life jacket when retrieving from water?
It depends on the conditions, the dog's experience and the length of the swim. A life jacket is particularly useful in deeper water, during longer swims, on a paddleboard or boat, and for dogs that benefit from extra support and energy conservation.
