Best Blind Dog Toys

We recently tried out the Wobble Wag Giggle Ball with a few canine testers. This green vinyl ball has six “clutch pockets” that make it easy for dogs to pick up. When rolled or shaken, it makes a unique giggling sound that really got our pups’ attention.

The ball is quite sturdy and held up well to normal play. We like that it doesn’t need batteries – the sound comes from internal tubes. At about 5.5 inches wide, it’s a good size for medium to large dogs, but might be too big for tiny pooches.

Most of our test dogs had a blast chasing and playing with this noisy toy. The giggles kept them engaged longer than a regular ball. But a few weren’t fans of the sound, and one owner said it got on her nerves after a while. While fun for most, it’s not ideal for aggressive chewers who might break it open.

The Dog Brick puzzle toy by Outward Hound is a hit with our canine testers. We found it offers a good balance of challenge and fun for dogs of all sizes. The multiple compartments and sliding pieces kept our pups engaged as they worked to uncover hidden treats.

We like how this toy can be adjusted to suit different skill levels. For beginners, we left some lids open to encourage exploration. As dogs got better, we made it tougher by closing all the compartments. This flexibility means the toy can grow with your dog’s abilities.

Cleaning the Dog Brick is a breeze. We simply wiped it down after use, which is great for busy pet parents. The durable plastic held up well to enthusiastic pawing and nosing. Just remember to put it away after playtime to prevent chewing. While not indestructible, we found it sturdy enough for regular use under supervision.

We’ve tested the Hartz DuraPlay Bacon Ball with several dogs, and it’s a hit for most. The natural latex exterior feels soft in our hands but holds up well to chewing. We love that it’s easy to clean and even floats in water.

The bacon scent is strong enough to keep most dogs interested. We noticed our test dogs seeking out these balls over other toys. The squeaker adds an extra layer of fun, though it can be a bit loud for some pet owners.

One thing we didn’t like was that water can get trapped inside the ball through the squeaker hole. This might lead to mold if not dried properly. Despite this small issue, we think the Hartz DuraPlay Bacon Ball is a great choice for most dogs, especially those who love to chew and play fetch.

We recently got our hands on the Lanco Sensory Squeak Ball, and we’re impressed with its quality. The ball has a nice, squishy feel that’s easy for dogs to grip and chew. Its bumpy texture provides extra sensory input, which is great for blind pups who rely more on touch.

At 4 inches in diameter, this ball is a good size for small to medium dogs. We like that it’s made from 100% natural rubber with no nasty chemicals. The squeaker is quieter than many dog toys, which is a plus for noise-sensitive pets and owners.

We found the ball to be pretty tough, standing up well to chewing from our test dogs. The unique rolling pattern kept them engaged during play. While it’s pricier than some basic rubber balls, we think the quality and sensory benefits make it worth considering for blind dogs or those who need extra stimulation.

We tried out the Multipet Deedle Dude Singing Mouse with a few blind dogs, and it was a hit. The blue plush mouse is soft and cuddly, making it nice for dogs to carry around. When squeezed, it plays a fun little song that caught our pups’ attention right away.

The toy’s 8-inch size worked well for the small and medium dogs we tested it with. They could easily pick it up and play with it. The singing feature is great for blind dogs since it gives them audio feedback when they interact with the toy.

We noticed that some dogs got really excited by the singing, while others were a bit startled at first. It might be too loud for very sensitive pups. The plush isn’t super tough, so it’s not the best pick for strong chewers. We wish the battery could be replaced, but once it dies, you’ll need a new toy.

These SCHITEC rubber balls are a hit with our little furry testers. The 2-inch size fits perfectly in small mouths, and the hollow design makes them easy to grab. We love how the built-in jingle bells keep blind pups engaged – the sound is just loud enough without being annoying.

The bouncy rubber material gives a nice spring when tossed, adding to the fun. Our pups seemed to really enjoy chomping on these during teething too. The double-layer construction held up well to some hearty chewing sessions.

One thing to note is the strong rubber smell when you first open the package. We gave ours a good wash before use, which helped tone it down. While great for small breeds, larger dogs may find these too tiny. Overall, we think these colorful jingle balls offer great value as an interactive toy for vision-impaired small pups.

We tested the SPOT Sensory Ball with several blind dogs and found it to be a hit. The ball’s various textures, bright colors, and beef scent kept them engaged. The built-in bell and squeaker were especially helpful for dogs to track the toy’s location.

The ball is made of tough rubber that stood up well to chewing. We liked that it comes in two sizes – 2.5 inches and 3.25 inches – to suit different dog breeds. The smaller size worked great for our test group of medium-sized dogs.

One downside we noticed was that the squeaker stopped working after a few days of heavy play. Also, some larger dogs had trouble fitting the ball in their mouths. The strong beef smell was nice for the dogs but not so pleasant for humans. Still, we think the pros outweigh the cons for most blind pups.

We tested the Larimuer Snuffle Ball with several blind dogs and were impressed by its design. The soft polar fleece material is gentle on a dog’s nose and mouth, making it safe for blind pups to explore. We found the multiple pockets and folds great for hiding treats, which kept the dogs engaged for extended periods.

The ball comes in two sizes, fitting most dog breeds. We liked that it’s lightweight enough for small dogs to carry around. During our tests, we noticed the ball helped slow down fast eaters and provided mental stimulation. It’s not just a toy – it’s a tool for reducing anxiety and boredom in blind dogs.

We appreciated the easy maintenance of this snuffle ball. It’s machine washable, which is handy after messy play sessions. The variety of bright colors might not matter to blind dogs, but we found it visually appealing. While it’s a hit with most dogs, we noticed very small breeds might find it too big, and strong chewers could potentially tear it apart.

We’ve tested many dog toys, and this Sensory Squeaky Fish stands out for blind pups. Its natural rubber construction feels soft yet durable in our hands. The textured surface gives dogs something interesting to explore with their paws and mouths.

When we squeezed the toy, we noticed the squeaker isn’t super loud. This could be good or bad depending on your preferences. The fish shape is easy for dogs to grab and carry around. At 6 inches long, it’s a nice size for small to medium breeds.

We like that it’s free from harmful chemicals and meets safety standards for children’s toys. The natural rubber scent adds another sensory element for blind dogs. While pricier than some options, we think the quality and thoughtful design make it worth considering for visually impaired pups.

The AWOOF Snuffle Mat offers a fun way to keep dogs busy and slow down their eating. We tested it with several dogs and found it works well for most. The mat has lots of fabric flaps and pockets to hide treats or kibble.

Dogs seemed to enjoy searching for food in the mat. It kept them occupied for 5-15 minutes, depending on the dog. The non-slip bottom helps it stay in place during use. We like that it folds up small for storage or travel.

Cleaning can be a bit tricky since it’s hand wash only. Some larger dogs may find it too small. Smart pups might figure out how to flip it over to dump out all the food. Still, we think most dogs will get good mental exercise from this affordable snuffle mat.
