Features to Look For in Waterproof Toys

Here are the main features to consider when shopping for waterproof toys.

  • Visibility: Water toys should be easy to spot in the water, which is why many floating water toys are made in bright colors like neon yellow, green, or orange. The more colorful a toy is, the easier it will be for you and your pup to spot it in the water and retrieve it.
  • Buoyancy: Any toy you bring into the water should be lightweight and designed to float. This makes it much easier for dogs to retrieve toys and prevents them from getting lost at the bottom of the water.
  • Durability: Since water toys will be exposed to various elements outdoors, you’ll want to make sure you choose a durable option. Look for toys that resist water damage, including mold, mildew, and rust.
  • Safety: When buying toys for your pup, always ensure they will be safe for your furry friend. Water toys should be made from non-toxic materials and large enough not to be a choking hazard.
  • Size: A toy that’s too big may be too difficult for your pup to carry, while a toy that’s too small may get destroyed quickly. Some toys come in multiple sizes and include size charts so you can determine the perfect fit.
  • Ease of Cleaning: If not properly cleaned, the sand, dirt, and debris that may accumulate on the toy can be a breeding ground for bacteria. When looking for water toys, consider how easy it would be to clean them. Look for toys that are safe to wash in the dishwasher and washing machine or that can be easily rinsed off in the sink.
