2. LaRoo

Nichole Bunch said, “Our teething boxer puppy LOVES this toy!! So far it’s been extremely durable and he enjoys chewing on it even after it’s thawed!! Highly recommend for teething puppies and for doggos who love ice cubes!!”
3. Acgefir


Acgefir Pet Splash Pad, priced at $14.99, offers a spacious 59-inch anti-slip surface for your canine friend to enjoy refreshing outdoor play. This large splash pad functions as both a dog pool and a sprinkler, providing ample space for your furry friend to cool down.
Lauren Reese Scarperi said, “It’s really cool and I think it’s a great idea! We had some doggies that were scared of the water works but they actually used it to cool off once it wasn’t shooting the streams. (They were puppies so, probably afraid of anything new) but they did enjoy sitting on it in the cool water, without the sprinkler part on.”
4. The Dodo


The Dodo Floating Watermelon Squeaky Pet Toy ensures endless aquatic fun for your pet with its durable, stuffingless design, priced affordably at $2.99. This floating toy with a squeaker inside adds excitement to water play, making it perfect for interactive games.
5. WOOF

This long-lasting toy is not only easy to clean but also fillable, allowing you to customize it with your pup’s favorite treats, ensuring they stay engaged and satisfied.
One reviewer said, “We have had our pupsicles for eight months and our black lab puppies haven’t destroyed them yet! We fill them with equal parts peanut butter, yogurt, and banana, with sometimes carrots sprinkled in, then we freeze them for a longer-lasting treat. They clean up well in the dishwasher. On a recent camping trip a squirrel actually carried one off, so we ordered an immediate replacement! Can’t be without the pupsicles!”
6. PUPTECK


PUPTECK Floating Water Toys for Pets, priced at $15.99, offer a playful solution for summer swimming pool games with your furry friend. Featuring cute pineapple and watermelon patterns, these bouncing balls are designed to keep your pet entertained and active.
Charlotte Burns said, “I love these balls, as does my puppy! She plays with them in her little pool and she throws them around in the house, which since they’re squishy not too much damage.”
7. Lepawit


Lepawit Squeaky Dog Toy, priced at $9.99, is the perfect poolside companion for small and medium dogs, designed in the shape of flip flops. These floating toys not only provide squeaky fun but also make for an adorable gift.
Bea said, “Now my flippers stay in the laundry room and I don’t have to play hide and seek to find them. Luckily the furry girl doesn’t chew them. A few tooth marks and that’s it. No marks on the toy.
Thanks!”
8. Pet Craft Supply


Pet Craft Supply Wiggle Shimmy Shark is an innovative cat toy designed to keep your feline friend entertained for hours. With realistic flopping and wiggling movements, powered by electric motors, and infused with potent catnip and silvervine, this toy ensures endless fun for cats of all sizes. Priced at $14.50, it’s the perfect addition to your cat’s toy collection.
Nisha said, “Some of my cats love it others don’t because of the noise. It’s a cute toy that wriggles, has crunchy parts, and catnip. It’s rechargeable and doesn’t take batteries. Mine didn’t come with a charger, not sure if it’s supposed to, but all other rechargeable toys usually come with a charger – but one of my Android ones ended up working for it.”
9. Bininl


Bininl Pet Water Sprinkler offers a refreshing solution to keep your furry friend hydrated and entertained during hot summer days. This outdoor dog water fountain, priced at $36.98, is paw-activated, providing a fun and easy way for pets to access fresh water while staying cool.
Cecelia said, “My boyfriend’s German shepherd isn’t getting around like he used to, and bending to eat has become a chore. This was a great solution. The height is adjustable so it fits a range of dog sizes if yours is taller or shorter!
The base has a nice raised lip on it so it catches the flyaways that would normally be on the ground! It was very easy to assemble if I can even call it that. It took very little effort to get it standing. It’s made of strong material and I see it lasting a long time. He seems to love it and enjoys eating standing up again!”
10. OHAJUES


OHAJUES Pet Cooling Mat is a must-have accessory to keep your pets cool and comfortable during sweltering summer months. Priced at $9.99, this mat is suitable for all types of pets and is easily washable for hassle-free maintenance.
One reviewer said, “I have a chawinnie mix and we live in the Deep South where it gets super hot this little pad you put water in and it cools ur pet well I also added some ice to it and he just played in it all day it cooled him off better than I thought it would tbh made of extremely high-quality materials might buy a bigger one for as he grows”
This summer, let’s ensure our pets have a blast with toys that not only entertain them but also keep them active, engaged, and safe.
