good dog toys

[informationjunky]

Any recomendations on dog toys that are indestructable? poncho seems to have a knack for making most last for about 1-2 hours. The only ones he hasn't destroid are the red kong chew toys and old tennis balls (the doggy ones arn't strong enough).

Only thing my Akitas don't seem to chew to pieces is each other.

The most indestructable (but still ultimately destructable) dog toys that we've found are the Kong toys (which you already mentioned).

Tennis balls, of any kind, don't last long at my house.

I've found that most tennis courts (clubs) have a special room where they keep the balls that don't bounce as well, and you can buy a giant box of them for $10. That's how we keep the retiriever going.

x2 on the kong; add peanut butter.

or cats.

once had a rottweiller and a rottweiller x doberman pinscher, both could destroy (and ingest) a tennis ball in about 3 to 5 minutes, and a kong in about 45 minutes. a giant rawhide bone the size of a piano leg would last about an hour.

a one-gallon plastic juice bottle lasted months, the real thick tough ones, mott's or whatever. it made noise, it was fun to chase around as it was really light and was a bit hard for them to get a hold of. and when it did finally get crushed down a bit, the could chew the crap out of the corners of it, and never get a piece big enough off to eat. kind of like a "nylabone". best of all, nearly free. besides, it was recycling.

Racket balls work well. They last longer than tennis balls around my house.

i have a lab that has a knack for destroying toys even though labs typically have a soft bite this young man does not. He enjoys nylabones and products from JW/CUZ they are for the most part a pretty tough/hard rubber. We have many of their products and have only lost one due to chewing. The yellow ball with feet his his favorite by far.

It's the only toy that made it through his puppy teething days as well. Tennis balls dont stand a chance around him for more then one reason...he likes to pull the fuzz from the ball and ingest that then...eat the rubber ball

I have the same problem with my dogs eating the tennis ball fuzz.
I'm sure if you walked around my back yard with a black light all of the turds would glow.

The Black Kongs are much tougher. Took my dog almost a year to get though it.

 

[Cuerno Largo]

In addition to the Kongs, we have had good luck with these for our labs, chessie, and doberman. It is about 8 inches long. Hard plastic. I think it is made by nylabone

yep, ours peels tennis balls too

Lacrosse balls work very well. Sorry, probably not a big item in US sports stores - only in Canuckistan.

As for chews, mine are happy with shredding any stick. It cleans their teeth nicely too without spending $$$ on stupid treats or expensive cleanings.
