Mine loved any of the Kong Wubba toys. They have different animals. She never tore these up like the other Kong ones. Now that she is a Senior, she doesn’t “play” with them much, but she does carry them around with her and puts them in her bed or on the couch with her

Frequently Asked Questions About Durable Toys for Yorkies
-
What makes a toy durable enough for a Yorkie?
Yorkies may be small, but they often have strong jaws and a tenacious chewing instinct. A durable toy for a Yorkie should be made from tough, non-toxic materials like rubber, nylon, or reinforced fabric. It should also be tear-resistant and have tightly stitched seams if it’s plush. -
Are there specific toy types that are better suited for Yorkies?
Yes, Yorkies typically enjoy small chew toys, squeaky toys, puzzle toys, and tug ropes. These types keep them engaged mentally and physically. Look for versions specifically labeled for small breeds to ensure proper sizing and safety. -
How do I choose the right size toy for my Yorkie?
The toy should be small enough for your Yorkie to comfortably carry and chew, but not so small that it can be swallowed. Generally, toys designed for dogs under 10 pounds are ideal for most Yorkies. -
Can durable toys help with my Yorkie’s dental health?
Absolutely! Many tough chew toys are designed to help clean teeth and massage gums, which is particularly important for Yorkies since they are prone to dental issues. Look for toys labeled as dental chews or those with textured surfaces. -
Are plush toys safe for Yorkies if they’re labeled “durable”?
Plush toys can be safe as long as they’re made with reinforced seams and durable materials. Supervision is key—if your Yorkie starts tearing it apart, remove it to prevent ingestion of stuffing or squeakers. -
How often should I replace my Yorkie’s toys?
Inspect toys weekly for signs of wear and tear. Even the most durable toy can break down over time. Replace any toy that’s fraying, has missing pieces, or is no longer safe to chew or play with. -
Do Yorkies get bored of their toys? How can I keep them interested?
Yes, Yorkies are intelligent and can get bored with the same toys. Rotate toys weekly and introduce new ones occasionally to keep their interest. Puzzle or treat-dispensing toys are great for mental stimulation and variety.
