Floating Toys for dogs

If you have a dog that loves retrieving balls and toys from the water, then make sure you check out the Rogz floating toys and balls to help provide a safer alternative to keeping your dog active and entertained.

Dangers of swallowing water

Many people don’t realise that swallowing too much water can be dangerous for dogs, especially if they are constantly putting their head under to dive for a ball or toy.

By opting for floating toys designed to float and withstand water, your dog can spend more time chasing and retrieving them in the water safely and in a low-impact way.

Why floating toys are safer

Especially as chasing toys on land often leads to injury and long term health issues like osteoarthritis, due to the jarring of their bones and joints.

Plus, the abrasive material on tennis balls that are commonly used, can wear down your dog’s teeth leading to dental issues and discomfort. Learn more about the dangers of tennis balls with dogs HERE.

Top floating toys picks

So, when it comes to some of my top floating toy picks for your water-loving retrieving pooch there’s the Rogz Flying Disc Toy, which has soft edges and a counter-weight design, making it easy to catch and float.

It comes in a range of colours and is made from Safe Soft Technology foam, making it Hygenic, safe and UV and odour-resistant.

The Rogz Lighthouse is another fun throw and fetch dog toy with high visibility in water so your dog can easily spot it at a distance.

And then there’s the Rogz Grinz Fetch Ball, which is a much safer alternative to the tennis ball. It bounces and floats in water, plus you can use it as an enrichment toy by filling the cavity with a treat.

You can find the Rogz floating ball and toy range at your local Petstock store, or online.
