Oh yes, parents, we have all lived through PAW Patrol. The gently annoying and much maligned show is about six rescue dogs, led by Ryder, who are all part of the elite four-legged squad known as PAW Patrol. The best PAW Patrol toys encourage collaborative play, as kids work together to solve problems and conduct heroic rescues.

Guided by the mantra that no job is too big and no pup is too small, the six canines of PAW Patrol work together on their rescue missions. Fan favorites include plucky Skye, police dog Chase and firefighter Marshall who all dispatch from PAW Patrol tower. But all snark aside, the series teaches kids to work as a team to overcome obstacles, which is, without question, a good lesson for preschoolers to learn.

Naturally, a show like PAW Patrol has endless amounts of loot affiliated with it. And it’s not cheap, let us assure you. That’s why we, ahem, pawed through it to bring you the best PAW Patrol toys you should buy.
