Still, engaging dog toys are essential for challenging your pup and keeping him busy — and so it's important you make the right pick. Luckily, this list has everything you need to buy the best dog toys that will keep your fur baby entertained long-term. From interactive puzzles that test your dog's smarts to durable ropes that promote healthy teeth, your pup will be in doggy play heaven (and your shoes won't be).
