Tough toys for the yard dog and the stable cat - built to survive real play.
Pet Toys
If you want one toy that keeps a dog or a bored pony busy, start with a hard-shell ball. The Jolly Pets Tug-N-Toss Jolly Ball is in stock from £9.81 (4.5 inch) up to £26.75 (10 inch), and the Boomer Ball from Company of Animals starts at £4.68 for the 11cm size. From there it is about play style: chewers want tough rubber and hard plastic, carriers want handles and rope, fast eaters want a treat cube, and stabled horses want something that dispenses a lick or a treat slowly. This collection holds 147 products covering all of those.

What size ball do I need?
The rule of thumb is simple: the ball should be too big for your dog to get fully inside its mouth. Jolly Pets Tug-N-Toss is stocked in 4.5 inch (£9.81), 8 inch (£18.59) and 10 inch (£26.75), so a terrier and a labrador are both covered. Boomer Ball runs 11cm at £4.68 and 15cm at £8.12 for dogs that prefer to push a ball around rather than carry it. Jolly Pets Romp-N-Roll is available in 4.5 inch (£11.12), 6 inch (£15.13) and 8 inch (£21.63), and the Jolly Pets Teaser Ball in 8 inch (£17.44) and 10 inch (£24.76).
What about ponies and horses?
Larger handled balls such as the Horsemen's Pride Dual Jolly Ball (8 inch, £19.53) are the usual choice for a stable or paddock, because a horse can grip and swing them. Bigger sizes generally work better than small ones for horses, since anything small enough to be picked up and mouthed easily is not ideal.
Which toys stand up to a determined chewer?
Hard rubber and hard plastic last longest. The Jolly Pets range and the Boomer Ball sit in that group. Rope and plush toys such as the House of Paws Cord Toy with Spiky Ball (£8.93) or the Tweed Plush Long Body Toy (£7.22) are made for gentler play and shared games, not for being left alone with a power chewer. No toy is indestructible, so check for damage before each session and retire anything that has split or lost pieces.
Do puzzle and treat toys really help with boredom?
Making an animal work a little for its food can help occupy time and slow down a fast eater, which many owners find helps settle a restless dog. The Buster Food Cube Large (£13.92) and the Buster Incredibowl 2 litre (£19.91) are the two options in stock for that. These are enrichment tools rather than treatments: if behaviour changes suddenly, or you are worried about gulping, weight or digestion, speak to your vet first.
What else is worth adding to the basket?
Small practical items are easy to add to the same order: the Ancol Made From Recycled Poop Bag Dispenser at £2.80, the Furrish Ball Pin Slicker Brush at £4.42, the Furminator Hair Collection Tool at £13.24, or the Moorland Rider Petwear Wash-Bag from £19.33 for washing bedding and coats. For horse owners, Silvermoor Unicorn Grassabix comes as a 1kg twin pack at £4.56 and Bizzy Bites Refill is £7.45 in garlic, mint and original.
Pet toy questions, answered
Which toy should I buy for a strong chewer?
Choose a hard ball rather than plush or rope. The Jolly Pets Tug-N-Toss Jolly Ball (from £9.81) and the Boomer Ball (from £4.68) are the toughest options in stock here. Pick a size your dog cannot fit fully into its mouth, supervise play, and replace the toy once it splits or loses pieces.
Can I leave a toy in the stable with my horse?
Many owners do, using a large handled ball such as the Horsemen's Pride Dual Jolly Ball (8 inch, £19.53) hung or left loose in the box. Introduce it while you are there to see how your horse reacts, keep the stable clear of anything the toy could catch on, and check the toy regularly for wear. Remove it if your horse becomes over-excited or possessive around it.
Do treat toys help a bored or restless pet?
They can help fill time and encourage slower eating, which supports a calmer routine for many animals. A Buster Food Cube Large (£13.92) or Buster Incredibowl 2 litre (£19.91) are the usual starting points. They are enrichment, not medicine, so if a pet is unsettled, off its food or behaving unusually, get your vet's advice first.
How do I clean pet toys?
Hard rubber and plastic toys such as Jolly Balls and Boomer Balls wash in warm soapy water and air dry. Fabric toys such as the House of Paws plush and rope range are easier to keep clean in a wash bag, and the Moorland Rider Petwear Wash-Bag (from £19.33) is made for that. Always follow the maker's care label, and rinse off any detergent before the toy goes back into use.
What is the cheapest toy in this collection?
Among the toys currently in stock, the Boomer Ball 11cm is £4.68 and the Jolly Pets Jolly Jumper 3 inch is £5.21. For horses, Silvermoor Unicorn Treatsies are £4.94 for 1kg and Silvermoor Unicorn Grassabix are £4.56 for a 1kg twin pack. Stock and sizes change, so prices and colours listed here reflect what is available today.
