Top 5 Dog Enrichment Toys Your Pup Will Love (Backed by Real-Life Favorites!)

If your pup is anything like mine (looking at you, Poe and Finn), boredom isn’t just a mood—it’s a mission to turn the living room into a crime scene (many stuffed toys have become victims to  boredom). That’s why I’m a big fan of dog enrichment toys. They help burn off energy, reduce anxiety, and give our dogs something productive (and fun!) to focus on.

Today I’m sharing some of our favorite toys that keep tails wagging and brains working. The best part? We carry many of these at Planet Paws Pet Care—we’re proud retailers of West Paw, Choo Bee, and pawTree’s Chillaxx to the Max CBD Bone

1. West Paw Toppl – The Ultimate Stuffable Enrichment Toy

This durable, flexible, and super stuffable toy is a staple in our house. The West Paw Toppl can be filled with treats, frozen meals, or a mix of goodies to create a fun, rewarding challenge. It can also twist together with another Toppl for added difficulty (which Finn absolutely loves).

Double the challenge, double the fun! The West Paw Toppl twists together to keep curious pups engaged longer

What makes it even better?

• Made in the USA

• Family-owned and operated company

• Crafted from safe, sustainable materials

We’re proud to carry West Paw toys—eco-friendly fun you can feel good about giving your dog.

2. Choo Bee Dog Chews – Durable Treat Toys Made in Michigan

Made in Michigan using FDA-compliant materials, Choo Bee chews are a hit in our home—especially with Poe. These dog enrichment toys come in a few varieties, like our two favorites::

• The Tastee Choo is great for medium chewers and is infused with 100% real bacon (Poe’s favorite).

  

  Meet the Tastee Choo: A bacon-infused boredom buster built for medium chewers. Poe-approved and Michigan-made

• The Maxx is designed for power chewers who need something seriously tough.

  

  The Maxx means business—tough, durable, and ready for serious chewers. Made in Michigan and power-chewer approved!

If you’re looking for safe dog chews that provide mental stimulation and chewing satisfaction, Choo Bee delivers. We’re proud to be an official Choo Bee retailer!

3. pawTree Chillax CBD Bone – Calming Dog Chew with Lasting Enrichment

Enrichment isn’t always about high energy. Sometimes it’s about helping your dog unwind. The Chillax to the Max CBD Bone dog enrichment toys from pawTree is a calming chew with a long-lasting texture that dogs love.

Relax, chew, repeat. The Chillax to the Max CBD Bone helps dogs stay calm and focused—Finn’s favorite way to unwind.

Finn isn’t afraid of thunder or fireworks, but he loves this chew for casual downtime. Poe turns to it during more stressful moments—like storms or when Finn’s bouncing off the walls.

We always keep these stocked for our clients. They’re the perfect combo of CBD calming support and chewing fun.

4. Outward Hound Puzzle Toys – Mental Stimulation for Dogs

These toys are go-tos for indoor enrichment and mental exercise. Outward Hound puzzles come in various difficulty levels—great for beginners or seasoned sniffers.

Poe loves the ones with sliders and hidden compartments. He gets that proud little tail wag when he solves them. They’re also super easy to clean, which makes me love them even more.

5. The Pawzler Puzzle – Modular Brain Game for Dogs

Looking to level up your dog’s puzzle game? The Pawzler is a modular puzzle system that lets you switch up the layout and design. It’s ideal for dogs who get bored easily—and fun for us humans who like to get creative.

I use it with Finn when I want to really challenge him or give him something fresh. It’s like doggie brain training that keeps them engaged for longer.

Final Thoughts: Why Dog Enrichment Toys Matter

Whether your pup is full of energy, easily stressed, or just loves a good challenge, enrichment toys can make a big difference in their daily routine. Every product on this list is something I use with Finn and Poe—and they’ve passed the Planet Paws Pet Care test with flying colors.

⚠️ Important safety tip: Always supervise your dog while they’re chewing or playing with enrichment toys. Even the toughest toys aren’t indestructible, and enrichment activities should never be left unattended.
