The Best Chew Toys for Shetland Sheepdogs

Shetland sheepdogs, also known as Shelties, are sometimes referred to as miniature collies. They are an extremely intelligent, trainable and loving breed. Like all dogs, shelties love to chew, which is why it's important to find chew toys that keep them entertained, as well as toys that will hold up over time.

  1. Kong Classic Toys

    • Kong toys are one of the most durable toys for chewers. They come in many sizes, dependent on the type and size of dog you have. The most popular is the Classic Kong, as it's quite bouncy and treats or Kong paste can be put inside it, adding another dimension of fun. Kong also makes other products that provide hours upon hours of fun and safe chewing. These toys and the others mentioned here can be purchased online or at nearly all pet stores.

    Petstages Orka Jack Chew Toy

    • This toy is perfect for long hours of play. Because it's shaped like a jack, there are many different areas to grab onto and chew. It makes playtime exciting because of the way it bounces unpredictably, and it has different textures all over it, so it massages gums while being played with. The hollow ends can be filled with treats to add more fun to playtime.

    Ultimate Tug-O-War Toy

    • This toy, made by Tuffies, will quickly become one of your Sheltie's favorites. It contains multiple squeakers and is great for interactive play. It even floats, so it can be used in the water. Because it's made of fleece over tough luggage material, it's easy on the gums. The Ultimate Tug-O-War will provide one of the best games of tug that your dog has ever experienced.

    Nylabones

    • Nylabones are a safe healthy chewing option for Shelties. They come in a variety of flavors and sizes, so you can find one that your dog is sure to love. If your dog isn't an aggressive chewer, there are edible choices, but they also make nonedible choices (that also come in flavors) that will last longer.
