Plush Toy: Soft Cuddly Toys for Playing and Snuggling Up

Plush Toy: A Soft Companion for Your Dog

Many dogs have a favourite toy that they carry around, take to bed at night or give a good shake. A plush toy for dogs fulfils exactly that wish. Here you'll find cuddly toys such as Nils the goose, a wild boar, Donald the wild duck, Gina the giraffe, a lamb and a sheep, models with faux fur and a squeaker, plus a penguin and a seahorse made from recycled material.

Playing, Carrying and Feeling Safe

A plush toy meets several different needs. Dogs with a strong prey drive grab the wild animal with faux fur and shake it hard, and a built-in squeaker makes the game even more exciting. Other dogs simply carry their soft toy around proudly or lie down next to it for a nap. For puppies in a new home especially, a soft toy can offer a little comfort and security. The Shaggy models with a cotton rope combine plush with a tug section for games you play together.

Choosing and Caring for Plush Toys

Pick a plush toy that is the right size for your dog, so it can carry it easily without fitting it entirely into its mouth. Plush is made for playing and cuddling, not for taking apart. Dogs that dismantle everything are best left to play with it under supervision. If a seam opens or stuffing starts to come out, take the toy away. The ECO models made from recycled material are a good choice if you want to save resources.

Frequently asked questions

Can dog plush toys be washed?
Many plush toys can be washed by hand or in the machine at a low temperature. Use a mild, fragrance-free detergent and let the toy dry thoroughly. Models with a squeaker are better washed by hand so the insert is not damaged.

My dog rips every plush toy apart. What can I do?
Only give the plush toy during play sessions you share and put it away afterwards. For chewing and shredding, tougher toys made of rubber or rope are the better choice.

Why does my dog carry its plush toy around all the time?
Carrying objects is completely normal behaviour for many dogs. Some do it out of joy, as a greeting or because the toy gives them a sense of security. As long as your dog is relaxed, there is no reason to stop it.
