Summer Fun: Essential Water Toys For Your Active Dog

Keeping your dog active throughout the summer months can be challenging when the weather warms up. Hot days can be dangerous for walks around the neighborhood, as concrete can become unsafe to walk on when air temps reach 85°F. Running around the dog park can also be risky and lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

What’s the best solution for keeping your pup happy, active, and safe during summer? Have them play in the water! From simple splash pads to the family pool, there are numerous ways to enjoy the water.

Our Favorite Water Toys

While swimming can provide hours of entertainment, we guarantee your dog will have more fun in the water if you bring along some floating dog toys to play with. Keep reading to learn more about a few of the best water toys we carry at J&J Dog Supplies.

KONG Water Wubba

Highly visible and built to float, the KONG Water Wubba is one of the best large pool time dog toys. Covered in neoprene material (commonly used to make wetsuits), this toy is easy to throw and retrieve and can be cleaned and dried in no time. In addition to being great for use in the pool or near a sprinkler, this toy can also be used for training in wet conditions.

KONG Aqua

Available in medium and large sizes, the KONG Aqua consists of a long orange and white rope attached to a KONG. Easy to throw and retrieve, this toy can be used in both wet and dry conditions. Its foam core insert, which floats high on the water and serves as a scent pad, also makes this one of the best water toys for use in lakes.

Rogz Grinz Treat Ball Dog Toy

Made for both engaging play and the amusement of dog owners, the Rogz Grinz Treat Ball Dog Toy is a popular toy for dogs of all sizes. This medium-firm ball, which is available in an array of bright colors, features a silly toothy grin as its design. When in your dog’s mouth, the ball gives the appearance of them having a brand new set of teeth. This large ball measures 3” around and is made from durable SEBS material.

Hyper Pet Flippy Flopper

Extremely durable (created with nylon and soft rubber) and made for all environments, the Hyper Pet Flippy Flopper is a wonderful floating toy to take to the pool, beach, or lake. Its bright neon green coloring makes this toy highly visible, ensuring that your dog can easily see and retrieve it. It is also lightweight and flexible, yet suited to tough chewers.

Donut-shaped, made in four bright neon colors, and available in regular and X-large sizing, the Ruff Dawg Nut Retrieving Toy is another top waterproof toy.
