Toys That Survive Daycare
Herding Ball
A large push-style ball that encourages chasing, nudging, and full-body movement for active dogs.
Reason to purchase: Great for dogs that love to chase but need a tougher option than a standard ball. It encourages independent play and burns energy in a fun, safe way.
Why we recommend it at Little Rascals: Our high-energy daycare dogs love these in the play yard. They are one of the best options for dogs that like movement and excitement without needing a human to constantly throw a toy.
Tough Rubber Ball
A durable ball made for dogs that love to carry, chase, and chew their toys.
Reason to purchase: Better for rough players than many ordinary tennis balls or soft fetch toys. A good choice for dogs that always need something in their mouth.
Why we recommend it at Little Rascals: We have many ball-obsessed dogs, and durable rubber balls get used constantly here. They are simple, effective, and keep dogs moving.
Durable Chew Bone
A long-lasting chew toy made for dogs that destroy softer toys quickly.
Reason to purchase: Helps reduce boredom, encourages calm chewing, and gives strong chewers something more appropriate than blankets, beds, or weaker toys.
Why we recommend it at Little Rascals: We use bones like these with dogs that need something sturdy and satisfying. They are especially helpful for dogs that relax better when they have a job to do.
Ring Chew Toy
A heavy-duty chew ring that is easy for dogs to hold, mouth, and carry.
Reason to purchase: Helpful for determined chewers that enjoy working on one spot for a long time. The shape makes it easy to grip and keeps dogs engaged.
Why we recommend it at Little Rascals: Dogs that want to settle with a chew often do very well with ring-style toys because they can brace them with their paws and really get into them.
Treat Puzzle Toy
An interactive toy that makes dogs work for treats and rewards problem-solving.
Reason to purchase: Perfect for dogs that get bored easily or need more mental stimulation at home. Great for rainy days and calmer indoor enrichment.

Reason to purchase: Useful for anxious dogs, dogs that need help settling, or dogs that benefit from a soothing enrichment activity during grooming, crating, or quiet time.
