Chuckit! Ultra Rubber Ball Tough Dog Toy review

Features

  • Best for active dogs
  • Rubber material for extra bounce
  • Perfect for games of fetch

The Chuckit! Ultra Rubber Ball Tough Dog Toy is one of the best dog toys that don’t squeak, especially for active dogs! These balls come in a pack of 2 and are extra bouncy, making them fantastic for games of fetch. They’re brightly colored to prevent you from losing them, even when you’re playing outside, which I found particularly handy.

These balls even float, so your dog can make the most of exploring the outdoors. With no squeaker in sight and a low price, this toy is a fantastic quiet option. They come in 2 sizes, suitable for small and medium-breed dogs.

As a bonus, these balls are compatible with the Chuckit! Ball Launchers to really amp up your fetch game.

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting, standing up to a fair amount of chewing during playtime
  • Float for playtime in the bath or when swimming, which owners said their adventurous dogs enjoyed
  • No furry covering, which owners stated makes them safer when chewed and easier to clean
  • Quality bounce which makes games more entertaining for both dog and owner
  • Fits in the Chuckit! Launcher, but owners state they’re just as fun to play with without the launcher

Cons

  • Some owners found very aggressive chewers could destroy the balls quickly
  • Some owners felt the balls were smaller than expected for their larger dogs
  • Some people found the balls had a strong scent, which despite being a pleasant smell, was overpowering

Bones & Chews Made in USA Cotton Rope with Bones Dog Toy review

Features

  • Best for chewing
  • Rope and bone pieces for chewing
  • Suitable for average chewers

The Bones & Chews Made in USA Cotton Rope with Bones Dog Toy is a fantastic no-squeaker dog toy, providing hours of chewing fun. With bones on either end of a strong rope, this is a tug toy and a chew toy in one. It’s suitable for all breeds, provided they are average chewers.

The toy has no squeaker or noise included, so it will provide quiet playtime (chewing noises aside). Best of all for humans, this toy comes at a very reasonable price.

  • Great for redirecting destructive chewing during training

Cons

  • Some owners found that this toy was too heavy and awkward for their small dog to carry and play with
  • Not suitable for power chewers, as they can destroy the toy easily
  • Bones mean that dogs need to be supervised at all times when chewing this toy
  • Some owners found the bones broke easily and more quickly than expected
  • The rope section is more prone to destruction than the bone ends, which some owners found frustrating

KONG Classic Dog Toy review

Features

  • Best for treat dispensing
  • Suitable for soft and hard treats
  • Perfect for average chewers

The KONG Classic Dog Toy is undoubtedly one of the best toys without a squeaker on the market. It’s been a favorite among dog owners for years due to its versatility and high-quality materials. The KONG can be filled with solid treats or soft spreads, as well as used to play fetch or as a chew toy.

This toy is an absolute favorite in our house with all 3 of my dogs. They all adore their KONGS being filled with soft spreads, and my spaniel loves chewing and playing with her KONG once the treats are gone.

This toy stands up to most average chewers and comes in a wide range of sizes to suit every dog breed. It doesn’t produce any noise and is an excellent option for keeping your dog both quiet and happy while you’re busy. It comes at a great mid-range price.

Pros

  • Very long-lasting and durable, making them good value for money and allowing dogs to lay with them for long periods
  • Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, which owners find useful
  • When filled with treats, keeps dogs mentally stimulated and happy for a while, giving owners a break while they’re busy doing other things
  • Can be frozen with treats inside to make playtime last even longer, which many owners said their dogs enjoyed
  • Most owners said they wouldn’t be without a KONG toy for their dog and that it was a staple in their home

Cons

  • Some owners found that this strength of KONG wasn’t suitable for power chewers and that they were able to chew the toy up too easily
  • Some owners found their dog was able to get their food out of the toy quickly, meaning playtime didn’t last as long as they’d hoped
  • A few owners found that the rubber smell of the KONG was overpowering

KONG Plush Teddy Bear Dog Toy review

Features

  • Best removable squeaker
  • Squeaker can be easily removed
  • Gives the best of both worlds

The KONG Plush Teddy Bear Dog Toy is a perfect 2 in 1 option for those who want the option of a squeaking toy for their dog. It has an easily removable squeaker, giving a choice between quiet play and a louder game when you feel like it. This cuddly teddy is great for small to medium dogs who love a plush toy, as I found with my small dogs.

This toy is designed for light chewers. It has a squeaker replacement and no stuffing for extra safety if a game does get rough. At an amazingly low price, I would definitely recommend this toy.

  • Comes with an extra removable squeaker in case the squeaker gets lost or destroyed, which is very handy

  • Lots of owners said this is their small dogs favorite toy and that they would recommend it
  • Some owners said the toy was more durable than they expected, allowing them to play games of tug

Cons

  • Some owners found the toy was smaller than they expected, which they found disappointed
  • Not designed for dogs who tend to chew their toys, with some owners finding average or tough chewers destroyed the toy quickly
  • Some owners felt that the toy was more suited to small rather than medium dogs, due to the size and strength
  • Some owners found the hair on the bear sheds when chewed or played with roughly, which can be an inconvenience

Hear Doggy Silent Squeaker Chew Guard Flattie Elephant Plush Dog Toy review

Features

  • Best ultrasonic squeaker
  • Heard by your dog only
  • Plush and strong

The Hear Doggy Silent Squeaker Chew Guard Flattie Elephant Plush Dog Toy keeps both owner and dog happy with an ultrasonic squeaker. The squeaker is out of human hearing range, giving you the silence you need while still giving your dog all of that squeaker fun. I had this toy when my dog was a puppy and it provided a much needed break when she wanted to play all day long.

If your dog loves plush toys but tends to chew a lot, this is the toy for you. It’s a cute plush elephant with reinforced seams and lining for average chewers and rough play. It’s suitable for all breeds and comes at a great mid-range price.

  • Owners stated that this toy stands up to average chewers, lasting even longer with supervision
  • Lots of owners found their dog really enjoyed the toy and kept coming back to play with it
  • Provides mental and physical stimulation, which owners said kept even fussy dogs entertained

Cons

  • Some owners found this toy didn’t stand up to very rough play which they found disappointing given the description
  • Many owners felt the toy isn’t designed for big, powerful dogs, as it can be destroyed easily
  • Some owners felt unsure that their dog was reacting to the squeaker as they usually would with a squeaking toy
