Labradoodles are brilliant and lively dogs that revel in discovering new experiences. By choosing the best toys for your Labradoodle, you’re ensuring their days are full of enrichment and excitement!
Today, we’re going over the best:
- Interactive toys
- Chew toys
- Puzzle toys
- Fetch toys
- Tug toys
- Feeding toys
- Plush toys
I’d recommend getting a few different toys from each section of the list to start!
1. Interactive Toys for Labradoodles
Let’s start with interactive toys.
Labradoodles are very intelligent and naturally curious, which makes them eager to learn.
Providing them with interactive toys is an excellent way to keep these delightful pets entertained and mentally sharp.
These pets need activities that keep them interested and mentally stimulated, similar to exercising their brains.
As a bonus, incorporating interactive toys into your Labradoodle’s playtime helps channel their energy and doubles up as a motivational tool during training. It benefits you and your pet equally!
Here are some interactive toys that Labradoodles will love:
KONG Wobbler

It’s important to remember that some dogs may need patience and encouragement to get used to the game. High-value treats can help motivate them.
Chew Toys for Labradoodles
Labradoodles are typically strong chewers, and need durable toys that can handle rigorous chewing.
When looking for a chew toy for your Labradoodle, it’s important to find the right size and shape for your pet among the available variety. Smaller Labradoodles usually need smaller chew toys, while larger dogs enjoy playing with bigger toys.
Even more, chew tones can help keep your Labradoodle’s teeth clean, which is important for Poodle-mix dogs since they tend to be prone to plaque and other dental issues.
Just make sure to replace your pet’s chew toys when worn out to avoid potential risks.
Here are some of my favorites:
Nylabone Dura
- MADE OF DURABLE NYLON - Long-lasting dog bones for aggressive chewers challenge extreme chewers and discourage destructive chewing

The Benebone Wishbone is tough, durable, and made in the USA with real peanuts for a paw-friendly grip!
The Wishbone chew toy is designed specifically for aggressive chewers, and its material is made to be tougher than real bones, so your pup won’t be able to break it easily.

Plush Toys for Labradoodles
Squeaky plush toys are a great addition to add to your Labradoodle’s toy box.
Just try to avoid buying toys with actual stuffing—I prefer stuffing-free toys. This way, if my Labradoodle accidentally tears a hole in the toy, he won’t eat the stuffing from inside.
SHARLOVY Dog Plush Toys
