Playtime isn’t just about fun — it’s a vital part of a puppy’s development. For small breeds like Pomeranians and Chihuahuas, the right toys help with teething, mental stimulation, exercise, and building confidence.
Here’s a list of the top five types of toys that your tiny companion will absolutely love — and benefit from!
1. Soft Plush Toys
Tiny puppies adore cuddling soft, plush toys.
Pomeranians and Chihuahuas often enjoy carrying lightweight toys around the house or snuggling up to them in bed.
Look for:
Toys small enough for little mouths to carry
Durable stitching
Machine washable options
Some plush toys come with squeakers inside — many Poms and Chis find the squeaky noise particularly entertaining!
2. Chew Toys for Teething
Puppies go through a teething phase, and chewing helps relieve discomfort.
Ideal choices:
Puppy-safe rubber chew toys (such as KONG Puppy range)
Freezable teething toys for extra soothing
Soft nylon chews designed for small dogs
Chew toys not only protect your furniture but also help develop strong, healthy teeth and gums.
3. Interactive Puzzle Toys
Small dogs are bright — and they thrive on mental challenges.
Puzzle toys that dispense treats or kibble when solved encourage problem-solving and keep boredom at bay.
Popular options:
Treat-dispensing balls
Interactive puzzle boards
Snuffle mats for sniffing and foraging
Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, especially for intelligent little breeds.
4. Lightweight Balls
Chasing a small, lightweight ball can burn off energy and satisfy your puppy’s natural play instincts.
Choose balls that are:
Extra small, specifically for toy breeds
Soft enough not to hurt delicate teeth
Durable enough to withstand enthusiastic chewing
Always supervise ball play to ensure they don’t chew off pieces they could swallow.
5. Tug Toys (Sized for Small Dogs)
Gentle tug games can be brilliant for bonding and teaching bite control. Choose soft rope toys or tug toys designed for puppies or toy breeds.
Remember: tug games should be friendly and controlled — always let your puppy win sometimes to keep it fun!
Final Thoughts
Providing a variety of safe, appropriate toys keeps your Pomeranian or Chihuahua puppy happy, healthy, and mentally sharp. Rotate toys regularly to keep things exciting and always supervise playtime, especially with new toys.
