Pet play is a form of roleplay where at least one person takes on the characteristics and mindset—or "headspace"—of an animal. It’s a diverse and creative kink that allows partners to explore dynamics of dominance and submission, caregiving and receiving, and primal instincts in a consensual and playful way. Whether you’re drawn to the loyal devotion of a puppy, the sly independence of a kitten, or the majestic grace of a pony, incorporating kinky toys can elevate the experience, making the fantasy more immersive and the sensations more intense.
From collars that buzz with secret pleasure to toys that allow for hands-free fun, the right gear can transform your scene from a simple roleplay into a full-sensory adventure. Let's delve into the world of pet play and discover the best toys to help you unleash your inner animal.
What Exactly Is Pet Play?
At its core, pet play is a subset of BDSM that involves animal role-playing. This isn't about sex with animals; it's about humans embodying the persona of an animal and interacting with a partner who may take on the role of a Handler, Owner, or Trainer. The dynamic is built on a foundation of trust and clear communication, allowing participants to explore different facets of their personality in a safe environment.
The experience can be deeply psychological, focusing on the "headspace" of the animal, or more centered on aesthetics and gear. It can be entirely non-sexual, focusing on cuddling and care, or intensely erotic. The beauty of pet play lies in its versatility and the deep connection it can foster between partners.
Why Incorporate Kinky Toys into Your Scene?
While gear like ears and tails are staples, introducing sex toys into pet play can add thrilling new layers to your dynamic. Toys can serve multiple purposes:
- Enhance Sensation: Vibrations, textures, and temperatures can heighten arousal and make the physical experience more exciting.
- Deepen the Power Dynamic: A Handler using a remote-controlled toy on their "pet" reinforces the power exchange and adds an element of teasing and control.
- Aid the Roleplay: Certain toys can mimic physical attributes or sensations associated with animals, making the roleplay more immersive. For example, a tail plug not only looks the part but provides a constant feeling of fullness.
- Enable New Positions: Hands-free toys allow the person in the pet role to remain on all fours or in other positions without interrupting their pleasure.
The Must-Have Toys for Unforgettable Pet Play
Ready to build your toy box? Here are some of the best types of kinky toys to explore within your pet play scenes, from essential gear to powerful pleasure-providers.
1. The Collar with a Secret: Vibrating Necklaces
A collar is arguably the most symbolic piece of gear in pet play, signifying ownership, devotion, and control. But what if that collar could do more than just look the part? What if it held a delightful secret just for the wearer?
A modern, discreet vibrator necklace is the perfect evolution of the classic collar. It functions as a chic accessory that can be worn anywhere but doubles as a powerful tool for pleasure. This allows the pet to carry a symbol of their role that hides a potent secret, ready to be unleashed by their Handler.

With 9 vibration patterns and a fully waterproof design, it’s the perfect blend of elegant accessory and powerful kinky toy.
2. For Paws-Free Pleasure: Wearable & Hands-Free Vibrators
One of the core elements of pet play is embodying the physicality of an animal—often on your hands and knees. This can make traditional masturbation or the use of handheld toys difficult. This is where hands-free, wearable toys become essential.
A wearable Butterfly Vibrator is designed to be worn during movement, providing continuous clitoral and G-spot stimulation without requiring a single hand. This allows the pet to fully immerse themselves in their role—crawling, stretching, or nuzzling their Handler—all while experiencing mind-blowing pleasure. For the Handler, it's an incredible tool of control, allowing them to direct the scene while their pet is lost in sensation.
The Butterfly Desire Vibe Dildo Pro is expertly crafted for this exact purpose. Its ergonomic, hands-free design stays perfectly in place, delivering dual-layer stimulation that teases the clitoris externally while providing fulfilling internal vibrations. Made from plush, body-safe silicone, it's both comfortable and safe for extended wear. The whisper-quiet motor keeps the focus on the sensations, not the sound, and because it's fully waterproof, your play can move from the living room floor to the bath for messy fun and easy cleanup.
3. Tails and Plugs: Getting into Character
A tail is more than an accessory; it’s a direct line to the animal headspace. A butt plug with a tail attached offers both the aesthetic appeal of the role and the constant, pleasant sensation of fullness. They come in a vast array of styles, from realistic faux fur to sleek silicone, allowing you to customize your look. For the Handler, the tail provides a playful new erogenous zone to tug, stroke, or caress.
4. Gags and Muzzles: Enhancing the Mindset
For many, a key part of the pet headspace is surrendering verbal communication for more primal sounds like purrs, whimpers, or barks. Gags can help facilitate this shift. A ball gag, for example, prevents complex speech, while a bit gag mimics the harness of a pony or trained animal. This not only enhances the roleplay but also deepens the sense of submission and vulnerability for the pet.
Communication is Key: Playing Safely
The most important part of any BDSM or kink activity is safety, which is built on enthusiastic consent and open communication. Before you ever bring out the kinky toys, it's crucial to have a conversation with your partner(s).
- Negotiate the Scene: Discuss what you want to do and what your limits are. Talk about the specific roles, the types of toys you'll use, and what activities are off-limits.
- Establish a Safeword: A safeword is a non-negotiable signal to stop all activity immediately. It's essential for the person in the pet role, who may be non-verbal during the scene, to have a clear way to withdraw consent if they feel unsafe or overwhelmed.
- Practice Aftercare: After an intense scene, it's important to reconnect as humans. Aftercare can involve cuddling, talking, sharing snacks, or simply being present for each other to come down from the headspace gently.
