This list is all of the toys I've found successful as well as... Please add comments to how you like these toys. Let's help each other find all the safe and best toys for our little fur-babies.
I have a herding dog puppy (12 weeks who loves playing with this toy. I will kick it and she will pounce and roll it back to me so I can kick it again. The sounds keep her happy and pouncing on it. As she is getting bigger. she can sort of hold it in her mouth. She makes the most adorable sounds of happiness when she does. This has been a big hit for her. (Affiliate Link)

Big Hit with Lots of Pups and Dogs

My Puppy Loves to Nibble the Knots
My best puppy purchase EVER! I wish I had found this sooner. I am now worry free when pup eats her bully sticks.

Now with this holder, I can breathe easier that it ...
