Best Toys for Pugs in 2022

What are the best dog toys for Pugs? If you have a Pug or a Pug Puppy, you’ll know that they are a friendly, playful breed. Of course, their small size and short legs doesn’t really give them the ideal speed or strength to go chasing a big stick of wood, so you need to figure out the best toys for pug puppies and especially the best chew toys for pugs, or your slippers or sneakers might be their target.

Before we start just one thing to clear up. Pugs – like other dogs – don’t see color well at all. We can’t see inside a dog’s head but we know they can’t really see red or green. Their world is pretty much black grey and white with some blue and yellow. So, forget about choosing some popular colourful brand, or relying on some best pug toys reviews, which talk about popular colors. Dogs don’t really care. Our top tip for best pug toys is something squeaky, or chewy, or strong so they can have a good tug of war with you – now you are talking!

Here are some of our recommended best pug toys

---

1. Pacific Pups Set of 11 Rope Toys

Our top pick might have a slightly higher price but this is a great bundle pack of toys for chewing and tug-of-war. Pugs instinctively love playing by doing both, just like their wild cousins do as you can see on many a wildlife documentary. This package gives you tugging hoops, throwable ropes, chewable carrots, and giraffes, fetch and carry balls and more. Everything you need for a good pug workout and you’ll be able to join in the fun. What’s more, these have been designed by a dog charity, so a win all around.

2. Wag Glider – Sliding Dog Toy

Something completely different now is this indoor chase toy. If it’s bad weather or dark outside and your Pugs are getting cabin fever, this neat toy is great if you have smooth floors like wood, laminate, linoleum, etc. This toy will slip around in a way a Pug will love to chase and a built-in squeaker adds to the fun. You can sit back and watch the fun. Your Cat might want a piece of the action too.

3. VARRAM Pet Fitness Robot

AI is topical these days, so why not for Pugs too? Yes, there really is a robot for dogs now with a basic AI inside. In fact, there are several. This particular robot will ‘play’ indoors with your dog and reward it with treats via the onboard AI or you can take control with your phone while you are away from the house and play remotely with your plug. The main downside to this model would be if the AI became self-aware and hooked up to Skynet in the future and started sending Terminators back in time to your house.

4. PetSafe Automatic Ball Launcher Dog Toy

Now, maybe I am old-fashioned but kind of one of the points of having a Pug is to play ball with it. This toy will do that ball-throwing job for you until the Pug is totally worn out, or the battery dies. My money is on the Pug quitting first. It will throw the ball up to 30 feet and the idea is the Pug brings it back and then the ball is thrown again. It (luckily) has the option of programming in rest periods if you don’t plan to have your Pug totally exhausted. However, if you actually do plan to have your Pug totally exhausted, if you have an overactive Pug, this will buy you some time to yourself and your Pug should get a good work out and a great night’s sleep. You might even invite the neighbors round too as a kind of Pug marathon spectator event.

5. Ritatsar Upgraded Interactive Pet Toy Ball

Another tech candidate for best toys for pugs. This is another ball but this time it’s internally powered and will roll around indoors, flashing it’s lighting and is a great chase toy. It will run for about 5 hours off a USB charge with lights on. Pugs will love it and it will drive your cat chase-crazy as well (some Pugs will love the fact the Cat is freaking out and playing too). Ever seen those youtube clips with a laser pointer and a Cat. You’ll see what I mean about chase-crazy. Pity the designers made the lights red, which is not much use for the Pug or the Cat. It’s reasonably waterproof though, which is a big plus as it can be used outside too.

6. PTREWOD Dog Toothbrush Stick Silicone Puppy Chew Toys

It’s a bit sneaky getting your Pug a toy that is really a kind of dog toothbrush but Pugs love to chew so, why not do both at the same time. This is one of those clever designs that allow a dog to do the instinctive thing of chewing (you shouldn’t really get too upset with dogs chewing, they are just following the natures) but sneaks in some dental hygiene. Add some dog-friendly toothpaste and as the Pug chews, their teeth are cleaned all at the same time.

7. FUZZU Parody Dog Chew Toy with Squeaker

Now some Pugs are quite political, so if you think you have an Alt-Right Pug or a Snowflake Liberal Pug puppy, you might want to get them these Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders squeaky dog chew toys 🙂

If your Pug is, on the other hand, an undecided ‘swing voter’ then maybe you can become a Youtube star if your Pug makes the choice on camera between one or the other. No sign yet of a Joe Biden doll but we’ll keep an eye out.

8. NEILDEN Interactive Dog Toys

Do you remember the Furby? We’ll these are a similar thing but for your Pug. They are an interactive electronic toy that will (amongst other things) shake and then bark at your dog. Either your Pug will love these and play with them endlessly or be puzzled or plain freaked out. Either way, you’ll have fun.
