I wish it were always this easy! I just feel so great in these; the cinched waist is so good." — liznagel1 4.

This might not be as exciting as the other dresses on this list, but it's trendy, practical, and likely the most comfortable dress you've worn in a while. Anthropologie Promising review: "I love this dress so much!! It is so comfy and so cute! I plan to wear it during every season.

A midi dress that's giving romantic cottagecore and is ideal for those whose favorite activity is frolicking in the woods.

Not only is this a ~saucy~ little number, but the light color also makes it look sweet, making you that perfectly well-rounded main character. 11. A stunning patterned dress because it's exactly what you need for your European getaway (even if that's more of a theme and you're not actually leaving your own city). Wear this versatile dress to take yourself on a romantic walk through the courtyard, and hope you can catch the eye of that charming royal. Anthropologie Promising review:"I purchased this dress to wear to a wedding. Many people complained about the fabric. I think it's great. It feels really nice. The length is perfect.

This is a great summer dress." — Lady Deb 14. A utility mini dress with deep pockets, so you can wear it as you walk to your afternoon caffeine fix without carrying a purse. Paired with a journal in a cafe, just watch as you become that ~mysterious~ stranger who everyone wants to know. Anthropologie Promising review: "Perfect throw-on casual dress! Have worn with sandals and also with a leather or jean jacket and sneakers. Runs a little large, so size down." — Cathryn A 15.

I have the long version in three patterns and the short version in two. You can wear it with boots or flats to make it cold or warm weather appropriate. The fit is fantastic, although it runs a bit large, so you have to size down at least one size. This is such a versatile, comfortable dress! I highly recommend!" — ugamraia Price: $148 (available in sizes XXS–3X, including petite and adaptive styles and in five patterns) The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

21 Interactive Dog Toys From Chewy That Will Keep Your Dog BFF Busy For Hours
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. These will tire your pup out, so maaayybeee you'll have time to get some of your own stuff done. 1. A knot tug that comes in an extra-large and colossal size if your doggy loves a game of tug-of-war and they've destroyed pretty much all of their other toys. Chewy Promising review:"I got this rope for my pug puppy, who loves to tear everything up since he's teething, and what a win! This is now his favorite toy. Thick, great quality, and bigger than expected." — Pugcellentmommy 2. A volcano and dinosaur hide-and-seek toy your pup will have so much fun taking apart. Plus, it's also a squeaky toy, so they will have the added bonus of auditory stimulation. Chewy, Linda / Chewy Promising review:"My dog loves these toys, and he was thrilled. He just kept pulling out dinosaur after dinosaur! Six of them, and all of them decently sized. This really is a great value, and the toys are very well made and adorable." — Taylor Price: $14.99 3. A baseball stadium hide-and-seek toy so your doggy can practice their detective skills. Hide the balls around the yard and watch your furry bestie track them down and bring them back. Chewy Promising review:"My dogs have enjoyed all of their Frisco toys, and this one has been especially fun. Love that the baseballs can be hidden for hide and seek but also roll for a good game of fetch. Seeing him leap and twist in the air to catch the baseball with his mouth has been so much fun! Once they chew it to pieces, I will definitely rebuy it if it's still available." — Chewy Reviewer 4. A refillable dog treat dispenser toy you can fill with homemade snacks or premade Pupsicle Pops because this will keep your doggo occupied while you sit through your Zoom meetings. Chewy Promising review:"Our Lab mix has always suffered from anxiety, fear, aggression with strangers, and breaks in routine. We ordered this product after seeing several ads on our social media. He LOVES it, and so do we! Super easy to clean and refill, long-lasting, and the treat refills don't smell bad like other dog treats! Our sweet boy recently began to lose mobility in his rear end and gets super upset when he is unable to get around independently; this gives him the comfort he needs to just relax and lie down while enjoying a treat!" — Elizabeth 5. An engaging jumbler ball if your dog has seemingly endless energy (but you don't). This will surely tire him out and give you a second to just ~chill out.~ Chewy Promising review:"Toy is entertaining, nice squeaker. Our German shepherd plays with this for hours. The toy is challenging to pick up and carry. All of which helps our high energy German shepherd burn off energy." — Tracy 6. A sliding sushi-themed puzzle for the dog who is super restless and gets bored easily. This will keep them occupied long enough for you to maybe even get some work done of your own! Chewy 7. A practically indestructible Kong chew toy you can fill with your dog's favorite treat so they can get all their energy out and enjoy a lil' snack at the same time. Chewy Promising review:"Being on the market like forever just might be the proof dog owners need to actually buy this toy. It comes in all dog sizes and has a lot of potential. For my rescue dog, it doesn't need to be stuffed with treats or peanut butter (too fattening). She loves it for the erratic bouncing action. A regular ball bores the heck out of her. Plus, she's exercising more muscle groups, trying to grab a hold of it. And the Kong is about as indestructible as they come. Buy it once and wait 'til the end of days before it wears out." — Stephen 8. A plush picnic basket with four stuffed toys, squeakers, and crinkles — how can your dog NOT love playing with this?! Chewy Promising review:"An immediate hit with my pup right out of the box, who's all about crinkly squeaky toys. Plus, the basket is durable enough to play tug with and will be a good place to stash some treats for her to sniff out. Incredibly noisy, but she's delighted, and this will easily keep her entertained while I'm at work." — Quinn 9. A rubber football treat dispenser that's bouncy, durable, and is sure to get you a touchdown for being the best dog parent in the whole world. Chewy Promising review: "We've had this toy for a couple of months now with no damage, which is a win in my book! It's very easy to push treats of many different sizes into it but fairly difficult for the dogs to get out, which is always the goal here. Definitely recommend." – Blix 10. A pet toy duo that includes a Goofy tug toy and a Pluto squeaky bottle toy, if you're a Disney adult and you want your puppy to join in on the magic. Tap to play GIF 11. And a Toy Story aliens rope toy so your dog can feel like "The Claw" from the movie. And look how freaking CUTE these little guys are! Chewy, Laura / Chewy 12. A hide-and-seek hedgehog puzzle with three squeaky plushies your pup will have so much fun digging in to get the little furry pals to come out of their den. Promising review: "This has become the new favorite for my 3-year-old Chihuahua. This is our first experience with a puzzle so I was not sure what to expect. Not only did he immediately figure out how to pull the animals out of the den and love it, but he also loved to play with the soft, squeaky animals separately. The price and quality are great. Just one recommendation: order extra hedgehogs if you have a killer like mine." — Finn 13. A large and tough treat-dispensing chew ball if you may spoil your pup a little too much by giving them treats constantly. With this, they'll have to actually work to get to the treats! (Also, I just have to say there is no such thing as spoiling your dog too much). LoveLabradors / Chewy Promising review:"We use this every day (sometimes two times a day) to feed our 10-month-old puppy his breakfast. It takes him about 30 minutes to eat 1 cup of kibble from it as we did not trim anything in the holes to make it easier. He loves his 'breakfast ball' and it works great as a slow feeder/mental stimulation/keeps him occupied while we get ready. Such a great toy!!!" — Gus 14. A scientist-themed strategy game if you feel like your doggy is secretly an evil genius, and they could use a little extra stimulation so they can work through all their evil plans. Chewy Promising review:"I have dogs who are not interested in toys, and they need something to stimulate their little brains! I bought this thinking it would be a good game for them. I just got it so they are still figuring it out (which is good, not too easy). I like that it came with suggestions on how to encourage your dog to learn it, and there are different lids, so once he figures out how to turn the cylinder over, that is not the end of the learning options. It didn't cost a lot, and I think they will benefit from using it (plus it is fun to watch them try to figure it out)." — Heather 15. A Wobble Wag Giggle ball made of durable pet-safe vinyl that makes super weird noises that, yes, can be extremely annoying, but your pup will loooove it. This is great to leave for your dog when you're out for the day so they don't get bored (and you don't have to be annoyed by the noises). Chewy Promising review:"My husky loves this toy. It's become his favorite. He sometimes gets frustrated when the kids aren't around, so he takes out his emotions on it, or when he's happy to see someone, he'll bring the toy. I play fight with him, and he loves it. He has stopped digging the yard also since this will keep him entertained. He is unable to break the toy, but he can grab it. I'd say it's for big dogs." — Chewy reviewer 16. A level-two difficulty Hide N Slide puzzle perfect for the pup who has little to no experience with puzzles. This is a great way to introduce your dog to the world of puzzling! Chewy Promising review:"Love this! You put either kibble or bits of treats in the holes and slide over the cover. It gives my dog a challenge to find and eat the treat, and it takes her a bit of time to get all the holes emptied, yet it is very doable for them to figure it out. They move the slider cover with their nose, and I like the stimulation it gives them." — Nora 17. A roller dog toy perfect for some indoor activity. It's soft, so you can play fetch with your dog inside without worrying about accidentally breaking anything. Chewy, Katie / Chewy 18. A set of plush toys featuring all your favorite fast food staples because even though your dog really shouldn't eat fast food, they can still play with it, right? Chewy Promising review:"Perfect Christmas gift for my 8-year-old boxer/pit mix (his FAVORITE food is a burger). He took each toy carefully out of the box, and carried them around, and hid them in his bed. Very good quality and soft for his mouth. I was so happy to find these for him!!" — CatLady 19. A West Paw chew toy made of a special nontoxic Zogoflex material — that is BPA-, phthalate-, and latex-free — your dog will love chewing on, and that won't damage their teeth like some plastic chew toys might. Shegro / Chewy, Catt / Chewy Promising review:"I have five dogs. One is a pit mix who destroys all chew toys in the house and has broken teeth on toys that were too hard (more money spent at the vet). My others don't get their chewing needs met because other toys are either destroyed so quickly or removed to protect my busy pit, but THESE toys last months. They are not so hard to hurt my strong chewer's teeth, and all my dogs love them! My pups stay occupied for hours on end with these. I ordered five large and my home became the happiest home on the planet. Definitely worth the money. Also, both Chewy and West Paw have such EXCELLENT customer service that you can't go wrong. Thank you, Chewy!" — Sharls 20. A flavored tooth-cleaning chew toy if your dog has stinky breath and you want to trick them into taking care of their own teeth so you don't have to brush them yourself. Chewy, AbbyP / Chewy Promising review:"My dog has been chewing on the Hartz dog bones that are bacon flavored for the last five years and has perfect teeth. Stopped her from chewing on my shoes when she was younger, too. Still keeps her busy at 7 years old. :) " — Glucas1211 21. A puppy tire that'll get your furry pal tired as they attempt to get the treats out of the built-in treat dispenser — or from the long walks you're taking them on! Chewy
