If your Cockapoo puppy gets sudden bursts of energy and enjoys a challenge, they’ll love a toy that they can puzzle apart or a toy that dispenses treats.

Here we’ll cover the best Kong toys for a Cockapoo puppy. Kong puppy toys can come in different styles whether you’re looking to help soothe your puppies’ painful gums or help keep them distracted when they get a sudden burst of energy.

Cockapoo Puppies And Kong Toys

Whether you’re looking for a Kong toy to help your Cockapoo puppy with teething, teaching good behaviors, or just enjoying playtime, getting a good quality, right-sized Kong toy will be as important to your pups’ development as training and exercise.

At around 4 months old, a puppy will start teething, as their baby teeth are replaced by adult teeth and molars. At this stage, your Cockapoos chewing may seem like an obsession, and they’ll probably try to chew on anything they can get their teeth into. As any parent of a teething baby knows, teething is painful, so your puppy will need helpful ways to reduce the discomfort of their sore gums.

Teething toys are great for soothing your puppy while giving you an opportunity to teach them what they can and can’t chew on. For instance, it’s not recommended to give your puppy toys that resemble taboo items, like a squeaky shoe toy. The size of the toy is also important to consider, as a puppy toy made for the small mouth of a 10-week-old puppy could cause a 6-to-9-month-old to choke.

Always read the manufacturer’s guidelines to make sure the toy is appropriate for your puppy’s age and size, and that it’s been tested for safety.

No matter what toy you select for your puppy, it’s important to keep an eye on them when they play and to occasionally check the toy to make sure that your puppy isn’t biting off any chunks. If this happens, discard your puppy’s toy if it appears to be nearing its breaking point.
