Best fluffy plush dog toys

Top pick: Fluff & Tuff Sadie the Bear — the fluffiest thing here that also survives a real chewer. Ultra-plush outer fabric over a thick Tuffweb mesh liner, 20 inches of bear to wrestle, and the strongest owner ratings of the bunch. Best for dogs that like to shake and tug, not just cuddle.

Who the others suit:

• BARK Sleepytime Fluffy Plush (XL or XXL) — the fluffiest, most over-the-top choice; multi-part with disc squeakers, so best for dogs that love to dig and de-stuff. The XXL is enormous.
• FabDog Fluffy Orangutan — four squeakers plus a grunter; great for sound-obsessed dogs, in small or large.
• HuggleHounds Louise Lamb — knotted fleece, soft and light, ideal for gentle cuddlers and small mouths.
• Multipet Lamb Chop — the classic long-body plush for fetch and bedtime snuggling; the holiday versions are the same toy in seasonal dress.
• Dr. Seuss Grinch Max flatty — a flat, easy-carry plush for light chewers and kids' dogs.

For heavy chewers, treat any plush as a supervised toy.
