Water Toys for the Summer

With summer around the corner, you're going to need some new toys for your dog. You'll likely spend some days at the beach. Even if you don't, chances are you're going to find yourself taking the dog for walks near a river, canal or other body of water. You might even have a pool at home or in the community where your dog sometimes sneaks in a swim. In any case, some of the following new water toys might be in order.

West Paw Zisc

The West Paw Zisc is a must for any dog that enjoys a good frisbee session. Made of durable Zogoflex materials, you don't ever have to worry that your dog will snap the frisbee in half. The Zisc is great for playing fetch no matter where you are, and because it floats, it's even the perfect fetch toy for the beach.

Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff Sport Basketball

The Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff Sport Basketball is a great toy for a day in the water. This buoyant ball will float along as your dog works to get it out of the lake or river you're playing in. Once the dog's successful at getting it out, you can toss it back in without worrying it will sink and become lost. With raised bumps, this basketball toy has an authentic texture your dog will enjoy, and because it's made for the water, it's easy to spray it off when it's dirty!

ZippyPaws Floaterz With Z-Stitch Dog Toy - Duck

The ZippyPaws Floaterz With Z-Stitch Dog Toy - Duck is a classic when it comes to water toys your dog needs this summer. Reminiscent of your own floaty toys, it sits atop the water with a bright yellow color that can't be missed. It's the perfect size for tossing in a game of fetch, and it will never get lost at sea. This duck toy is made of extra-tough neoprene so it can withstand all the playtime it gets at the beach and the pool this season. For some additional fun, the duck rattles, crinkles and has a squeaker that works in the water.

Kurgo Classic Lawn Games Skipping Stones

The Kurgo Classic Lawn Games Skipping Stones are exactly what you need if your dog loves a good game of fetch and splashing in the water. Instead of skipping actual stones that sink to the bottom of the lake where your dog can't fetch them, these stones float on the surface of the lake so your dog can retrieve them with pride. Made with a PVC-free, non-toxic material, these skipping stones are chewy, but not too tough to enjoy. Made in multiple colors, they're easy to spot.

Gnawt-a-Stick Rubber Dog Toy by Ruffwear

The Gnawt-a-Stick Rubber Dog Toy by Ruffwear takes the game of fetch to a whole new level. Made with natural latex rubber, it bounces around, even on the water, but you don't have to worry that it will sink because it floats upright. The rubber is perfect for a pup that needs a quick massage of the gums, and the angled texture aids in that sensation. The Gnawt-a-Stick is chew-resistant and durable for even the most rough and tough dogs.

Tuffy Ocean Creatures

The Tuffy Ocean Creatures are all fun for hours of play on a summer's day. They are made with flexible materials in multiple layers so your dog won't get hurt by any sharp edges. This production method also discourages poor chewing habits. Though they're plush, they are safe for play in the water and will float on the surface. There are several different ocean creatures to choose from such as a trout, eel, alligator, starfish, octopus, fish, lobster, whale, shark, squid, stingray, crab and turtle.

KONG Shields Tropics Gecko

The KONG Shields Tropics Gecko is not just adorable, but loads of fun as well. Made with ultra-durable materials and a robust interior, it will satisfy your dog's need to chew without getting ripped apart. Take it to the beach so you can bury it in the sand for a thrilling game of hide and seek. Toss it in the water for an exciting game of fetch. You don't have to worry that it will sink to the bottom because the materials it's made with give it the perfect amount of buoyancy. Made with fun colors, it's the perfect addition to a bright day at the lake.

Chuckit! Hydrosqueeze Duo Tug Dog Toy

The Chuckit! Hydrosqueeze Duo Tug Dog Toy satisfies your dog's need to wrestle with a human or canine friend, and will cool your pup off in the process. Made with a durable nylon cord that connects a rubber ball at each end, you can have hours of tugging fun with your dog. Inside each rubber ball is a core made to absorb water. As your dog tugs and wrestles with the toy, the water splashes out to keep your furry friend cool. As with all other water toys for dogs for summer, the Hydrosqueeze Duo Tug floats if it gets tossed in the water.
