Best Toys for Anxious Dogs

Anxious pups need more than cuddles, they need the right toys to soothe their stress and keep them mentally engaged. Jolly Pets is proud to offer a variety of durable, well-designed toys that not only ease your dog’s anxiety but also promote healthy, active play.

If your dog is anxious, Jolly Pets toys can help soothe them with:

• Focused play to channel anxious energy into a fun challenge.
• Interactive play to help them socialize and bond.
• High energy play to help release some anxiety in a fun game.
• Chewing stimulation to provide sensory relief.

Here are our top picks and how to use them to support your pup’s well-being: 

The Jolly Egg

The unpredictable movement of the Jolly Egg keeps anxious dogs focused and moving. Its bounce keeps pups guessing, redirecting nervous energy into fun play. For best results, introduce it during high-stress times like thunderstorms or when guests arrive.

The Tug-n-Toss

Dogs with anxiety often benefit from interactive toys. The Tug-n-Toss  is perfect for tug-of-war or solo play, giving your pup a sense of control and accomplishment. Use it during supervised play sessions to bond and build your dog’s confidence.

The Romp-n-Roll

The Romp-n-Roll combines a ball and rope for double the engagement. Ideal for high-energy anxious dogs, this toy helps release tension. Try a morning play session to start your pup’s day with calm energy.

The Flathead

Chewing is a natural stress-reliever. The Flathead combines a soft body with durable rope legs, great for aggressive chewers. Give it to your dog during alone time or crate rest for comfort and stimulation.

Just remember...consistency is key!

Incorporate these toys into your dog’s routine to help reduce anxiety over time. Pair play with positive reinforcement, like treats or praise, to associate toys with safety and comfort.
