Best Goldendoodle Dog Toys: A guide for happy dogs.

Okay, so I've got a Goldendoodle, right? Cutest dog ever, but she's got the energy of, like, ten puppies. I needed to find some toys that could keep up with her, or my house would be destroyed. Seriously, she can chew through anything!

So, I started my mission. First, I hit up a bunch of pet stores.

  • Pet Store #1: Found some cute plush toys, thought they might be good for cuddling. Nope. Lasted about five minutes before fluff was everywhere.
  • Pet Store #2: Tried some rope toys. My dog loved them, but they frayed so fast I was worried she'd swallow the strings.
  • Pet Store #3: Found some "indestructible" rubber toys. Okay, these were better. She played with them for a while, but they were kinda boring, and she lost interest pretty quickly.

I realized I was going at this all wrong, the store ones weren't good enough.

I began searching the Internet, reading reviews, and watching videos of other Goldendoodle owners. I was on a quest! I spent hours, I mean, hours, looking for recommendations. I was looking up stuff like "best toys for heavy chewers," "durable dog toys," and "toys for energetic dogs." Lots of reading, comparing and taking notes.

I then compiled the data I found and made a short list of popular toys that were highly recommended.

Finally, I tested out a few of the top-rated toys. It was trial and error, for sure.

  • Tested a hard, oddly-shaped rubber toy,It was a hit! She loves chasing it, chewing on it, and it's still in one piece. Success!
  • I got this puzzle toy, and at first she couldn't care less, but after a few weeks she got really into it.
  • One toy which was a ball, lasted only 30 minutes.

So after a few days and testing a few I had some clear winners.

Basically, finding the right toys for my Goldendoodle was a whole process. It took some serious time and effort. I visited a few stores. I did a ton of online research, and watched some videos. And then I did some real-world testing, too. All that to finally find toys my dog love!
