Dog Toys

[AgronAlum]

Anybody have recommendations for toys that will actually last for a dog that seems to destroy everything?

The only thing we've had hold up so far are the core rubber Kong toys. The latest victims claimed were ones made out of "ballistic" fabric and another made from "Duraforce" material. Ropes will get shredded completely over a couple weeks. We haven't had a toy made of fabric that lasted more than a few days.

Edit: He's around the 100 lb mark and everything we've bought like the ropes have been the biggest toy of it's size.

We have little dogs right now, so it's not a big problem, but my beagles tore up anything and everything when it came to dog toys.

We’ve got a lab that just turned 1 yesterday and is a very heavy chewer too. We tried everything and the only toys that lasted are nylon, Kong, and little tires. We are trying a new toy we got her for her bday and it seems like it may last a bit. It is a brand called ruff dawg. We will see how it holds up.

Kong with peanut butter will keep Otis our golden busy for a hr or so at least- Kong and the tires are the only thing he has not chewed to bits in 5 minutes

VIP Products Tuffy Barnyard Dog Toy. So far our girl hasn't chewed up the rabbit or the duck.

I tried everything for our Boston Terrier and eventually stopped buying anything that can be destroyed and she doesn't seem to miss them. She's most happy playing fetch so we have a hollow ball that we use in the house and a chuck-it for outside. I do buy a cheap stuffed animal for her birthday for her to destroy that usually lasts an hour or two and then goes into the trash. I've always wished there was a way she could make some money being a toy tester.

Have had this for nearly 2 years and it's still as-new

Downside, it looks like some "other" kind of toy

The black rubber large kong for us. The last one lasted us 3 years with daily use. We put a little PB and some treats in it and freeze it over night. It will last our 75lb lab a few hours before she gets it cleaned out.

The #2 toy is the orange rubber chuck it ball for fetch.

No other toys holds up like those. Our lab will destroy it in a day or few weeks (knock off kongs).

We do have an "other" toy, her snakey snake. Its lasted a few years but it only gets played with maybe once a week for a few minutes.

Our 150 lb Bernese has had a legit, not store bought deer antler for like 3 years now. Chews on it a lot and has barely made a dent.

We've tried those but our lab loses interest after week.

I was away for business once and my wife sent me a picture of our dog chewing on something similar. I texted back "why is our dog chewing on a d***o?"

Have you considered having him play with a tactical flashlight? I've heard good things about their durability.

Our friends have those for their dog, and they blend right in to their carpet. They are not enjoyable to step on.

................no.

We have a Dalmatian and a Black & Tan Coonhound. They are both around 75# - Wholesome Pet Essentials in Ankeny sells some toys from West Paw that they have been unable to chew through yet. They also have a bunch of antlers and animal based chews there.

Otis the golden also loves smoked pigs ears. They last about 15-30 minutes if we have people over and we are eating outside he will leave people food alone for them.

You had to ask?

 

[BoxsterCy]

Have you tried giving him a live cat?

 

[knowlesjam]

Yeah, we call our shepherd Sid (from the first Toy Story)...she can destroy anything not named Kong. There actually are three levels of Kong...Blue/Green - Red - Black, ranging from somewhat tough to capable of surviving a nuclear blast. Peanut Butter, treats, and the Black Kong are good for 30 minutes of bliss...still have the first Black Kong as the other two levels have died a hideous death...as have the landscape lights, a bird house, two of those star scape Christmas lights, a plastic bin, and several rabbits...RIP.
