Buying a Christmas present for a puppy is a little different from buying for a grown dog.
Prices checked on Amazon UK, 6 October 2026.
Buying a Christmas present for a puppy is a little different from buying for a grown dog. Most puppies are teething, their baby teeth and gums are sensitive, and many adult chew toys are made from harder material than a young dog needs. This guide picks the best Christmas presents for puppies that you can buy on Amazon UK, with a focus on toys that are sold specifically for puppies or teething pups: soft-rubber KONG Puppy toys, Nylabone puppy chews, a squeaky plush with a teething ring, a good-value multi-pack and two festive Petface plush toys for light play. Every product below is listed for puppies, teething or light chewers on its Amazon UK page, and the prices shown are the Amazon UK prices we read on 6 October 2026. Prices change often, so check the live listing before you buy.

Buying advice
Our picks
Best overall: KONG Puppy (Small) at £8.99. KONG says the Puppy toy uses a soft rubber formula made for a growing puppy's baby teeth and gums. It bounces unpredictably for games of fetch, and it can be stuffed with puppy kibble, KONG Puppy Easy Treat or a little peanut butter, then frozen for 4 to 6 hours for a longer challenge. The listing says it is dishwasher safe, which helps over the festive period. Choose the size that matches your puppy; this one is the small puppy size.
Best budget: Webbox Gerald the Goat at £5.00. This is a soft plush toy with a squeaker and a tough teething ring built in. Webbox says it suits all breed sizes but is ideal for small dogs and puppies from 8 weeks old, which makes it an easy, cheap stocking present.
Best for a busy household: Fur & Bone 10-Pack Puppy Chew Toys at £8.70. If you want several toys to rotate through the Christmas holidays, this set gives ten pieces, including teething toys, a rope toy and squeaky toys. The listing says it is designed for small and medium breeds.
Other puppy presents worth a look
Nylabone Puppy Starter Kit (£10.99): a pack of three dental chew bones for puppies up to 11 kg, in Teething, Gentle and Graduate types. Nylabone says the material is made for teething puppies who have not yet formed adult teeth, and the flavour runs all the way through rather than being sprayed on.
KONG Puppy Tires (£10.99): a tyre-shaped chew in KONG's puppy rubber formula, with an inner track you can fill with treats. KONG also reminds owners to supervise play, because no toy is indestructible, and to remove a toy if it gets damaged.
Petface Christmas Freddi (£5.39) and Petface Riley Reindeer (£6.85): two festive plush toys with built-in squeakers. Petface lists Freddi as suitable for light chewers, and Riley Reindeer is made from plush rope for chewing and fetch. These are best as fun extras rather than a main chew toy.
What to look for in a Christmas present for a puppy
Puppy-specific material. Look for toys labelled for puppies or teething. Puppy rubber and puppy chews are softer than adult versions, which matters while baby teeth are coming through.
The right size. Check the weight or size range on the listing. The Nylabone kit above is for puppies up to 11 kg, and KONG makes its puppy toys in more than one size. A toy that is too small can be a choking risk.
A mix of play types. A stuffable chew keeps a puppy busy, a plush squeaky toy gives gentle play, and a rope toy is good for tug. Rotating a few toys keeps them interesting.
Supervision. Even toys made for puppies can be chewed apart. Watch your puppy with new toys, check them regularly, and throw away anything torn or with loose parts.
Keep human Christmas food away. Christmas dinner, mince pies and chocolate are not puppy treats. If you want something edible in the stocking, choose treats made for puppies and follow the feeding guide on the pack.

Frequently asked questions
What to get a puppy for Christmas?
The most useful presents for a puppy are toys made for puppies and teething, such as a soft-rubber KONG Puppy, a Nylabone puppy chew or a plush toy with a teething ring. A stuffable chew, a gentle squeaky toy and a rope toy cover chewing, play and tug. Check the size or weight range on the listing so the toy suits your puppy.
What teething toys are safe for puppies?
Choose toys sold specifically for teething puppies and sized for your puppy's weight. KONG says its Puppy rubber is made for a growing puppy's baby teeth and gums, and Nylabone's puppy chews are made for puppies who have not yet formed adult teeth (the starter kit in this guide is for puppies up to 11 kg). Supervise chewing and replace any toy that gets damaged.
Is KONG good for puppies?
Yes, KONG makes a dedicated Puppy range. The KONG Puppy uses a softer rubber formula designed for baby teeth and gums, while the red KONG Classic is the standard adult toy. The KONG Puppy listing says it is dishwasher safe and can be stuffed with puppy kibble or treats and frozen for 4 to 6 hours.
Are squeaky toys safe for puppies?
Squeaky toys are generally fine for supervised play when the toy suits your puppy's size and is labelled for light chewers or puppies. Blue Cross advises always supervising your dog so it cannot swallow the squeaker if it gets taken out of the toy. Check toys regularly and throw away any that are torn or have loose parts.
Can puppies eat Christmas dinner?
Not a full plate. PDSA suggests dogs can have only small amounts of boneless white turkey meat and plain vegetables such as carrots, green beans and peas, with no gravy or sauces. Stuffing, gravy and bread sauce can contain onion, garlic or leeks, which are poisonous to dogs, and cooked bones are a choking and blockage risk. Puppies have sensitive stomachs, so it is safest to stick to their usual puppy food and treats.
