Dogs weighing 5–10 kg — such as Pugs, Jack Russells, and small Cockapoos — thrive on play that matches their energy and chewing habits. At Paw Branch, our small dog toys collection is carefully shaped around natural behaviour, supporting exercise, problem-solving, and confidence through well-sized, sustainable designs.

If you’re unsure whether your dog falls into the small category, our Small Dog Breed Size Guide explains typical weights and examples to help you choose correctly.

Play encourages mental stimulation, joint mobility, and positive routines. Whether your dog enjoys gentle carrying, tug-of-war, or fast fetch games, the right toys channel energy safely and strengthen the bond between you and your companion.

Small dogs need toys proportioned for their mouths and strength. Oversized toys can strain jaws, while those too tiny can pose a hazard. Each design in our plush toys for small dogs range is soft yet sturdy, made from recycled or plant-based fabrics that protect teeth and gums while remaining light to carry.

Similarly, rope toys for small dogs provide natural texture and resistance without harshness, helping clean teeth during play and encouraging gentle chewing. Both types balance comfort with durability, ensuring play remains engaging but never risky.

Some small breeds are bold, determined players who thrive on interactive challenges. Tough toys for small dogs deliver satisfying resistance while maintaining safe flexibility for lighter jaws. They’re ideal for terrier-type dogs that love to pull or shake.

For shared play, rope toys for small dogs build strength, coordination and confidence while providing safe, natural tension that encourages gentle tugging and bonding.

For dogs that prefer focused chewing, chew toys for small dogs offer a safe outlet that promotes oral health and reduces boredom. These designs help redirect natural chewing instincts away from household items, providing enrichment that supports calm, balanced behaviour.

Fetch toys encourage movement, focus, and coordination. The fetch toys for small dogs collection uses lightweight rubber and soft-impact materials that make chasing games gentle on joints yet stimulating for the mind. Regular fetch play also improves recall and builds confidence.

Plush designs remain equally valuable. Their soft textures comfort anxious or low-energy dogs, while subtle squeaks keep interest without overstimulation. For many small breeds, alternating between fetch activity and plush companionship creates the perfect daily rhythm of play and rest.

Each small breed has its own preferred play pattern — the quick, alert energy of a Jack Russell, the thoughtful curiosity of a Cockapoo, or the relaxed affection of a Pug. Age matters too. Senior dogs often favour softer materials that protect delicate teeth while keeping them mentally engaged.

All toys in our all small dog toys range share the same priorities: safety, sustainability, and enjoyment through purposeful design. For birthdays and special occasions, our birthday boxes for small dogs bring together perfectly sized toys and natural treats for dogs between 5–10 kg, all packed with care for both pets and the planet.

With love
