Aqua Toys

In addition to being waterresistant, this assortment of fun, mentally stimulating KONG toys is ready to play all summer long. Many dogs love the water—and even those that don't can learn to enjoy it with gentle encouragement and fun toys. KONG offers a variety of float toys specifically designed for playing in the water, so you're sure to find one that your dog will absolutely love! With KONG toys for nearly all play types, ages, and chewing styles, you can be ready for warm-weather water adventures with your furry friend.

There are three things you should look for when purchasing water toys for your dog. First, they should float. Unless your dog is an amphibious natural in the water and loves going on underwater expeditions, you’re probably going to want to stick with toys that float. This makes them an easy target for water fetching! Second, they’re easy to grab. For fetching and retrieving in the water, toys should be easy for dogs to grab and hold in their mouths. Toys that are textured, small enough to get their mouths around, or that feature a rope all meet this water toy qualification. Easy-to-grab toys also play a role in building dogs’ confidence in water! If they can’t manage to get it out, they may be less likely to dive in the next time you throw it. Third, they’re easy to spot. When you’re swimming in a lake or in the ocean, sometimes the toys appear lost in the waves. And sometimes, when your dog loses track of the toy, they’ll opt to have you save the day by wading in and getting it yourself. A bright-colored, highly visible toy provides contrast against the water and will serve as a target for your dog to swim toward.
