The 22 Best Dog Toys for Your Doodle

These days, everywhere you go where there are dogs, you’re likely to meet a doodle. Whether it’s a Goldendoodle, Labradoodle, Bernedoodle, or one of the many other breeds mixed with a poodle, these dogs are more popular than ever. Goldendoodles, in particular, are ranked the fifth most popular breed by a report from Rover.

Dog lovers seek doodles for a variety of reasons. Whether you’re a fan of “designer dogs” or not, doodles can offer the best of both breeds they are mixed with. They’re usually low-shedding and intelligent, thanks to their poodle side. They also carry the desirable qualities of the other breed, often resulting in a playful, friendly, and downright adorable dog. Most owners know it’s impossible not to spoil these dogs! If you want to treat your pup, read on for the best dog toys for your doodle.

Why Doodles Need Toys

Doodles, no matter what breed combination, are typically high-energy. As a result, they enjoy a lot of activity and stimulation. They usually adore walks, toys, playing with other dogs, and being doted on! Doodles need toys to help keep them stimulated, so they are less likely to exhibit destructive behavior or separation anxiety, which some doodles are prone to. Providing them with various types of toys will keep them busy and calm.
