I will have to check out the toys on the list! My Malamute is great at destroying toys... and EATS them! So I have to be VERY careful! My poor aussies enjoy soft toys and ropes, but I can't have them because of the mal.

Has anyone had a dog destroy a Kong? That's the one toy I have that they have never destroyed, so just wondering I know nothing is indestructable, I've just never heard of a dog destroy one so I'm curious!

the only toys that have ever lasted long enough in the hospital or in my own home can be baught at Walgreens, some dollar stores and Walmart. they are VERY bright colored and have squekers. My pitbull has played with them as well as the dachshund, beagle, and dutch shepard and countless others in the hospital that i work in. I've gotten the ball and a toy that looks like a a dumb bell with three points on the ends. The squeker might not last forever, but the toys are still around and intact now for over a year in my home and still around from the hospital for about 8 months now. They also make a ball that has ridges all the way down. I have also baught a toy at the dollar stores that is a bell inside of what is made to look like two tires. That's lasted forever too. it's a ball. it's been at the hospital for over 2 years now they tell me.

If when one rope gets too broken up or frayed, i just chuck it and give them a new one. at .50 cents per rope, they can chew all they want!

Oh wow! What a great idea!! My dogs love the rope toys too. They play tug of war with each other. It's cute.

Thanks for the idea!!

No toy is going to last forever. You just have to get the toughest ones and see which work the best. Mine have destroyed numerous ones including kong, rhino cone, galileo bone, double action chew, jolly ball, big chews and basically every other toy they've ever had.

I bought a Booda Quirkies which said virtually indestructible (which I think is supposed to mean will last a day at most) it is a rubber toy with this little noise maker inside. Anyway after about 10 mins of use there was already enough puncture marks. This was playing fetch with it, the dog just carried it back to me. After that they did get a little chewing in here and there but I was still taking it to throw even though they wanted to chew. So after about 20 mins of play with her there was several missing pieces and lots of holes.

I don't trust anything rubber to last that long, especially as soft as booda bone not as hard as kong, of course kong or rhino cone as well I will always watch them because I know dogs which have got blockages from swallowing the pieces from rubber toys and nearly died or did die.

I get the durable pooch pacifiers the very large, hard, white ones. They of course chew them up but they seem to really love them. My Cane Corso took a couple of hours and hers was totally tore up.

I give them toys knowing they will chew them up but try to pick what will last longer. Some of the best are tires. Even the smaller ones for a house toy. Not the type they make for dogs but the ones for real use, the dog ones are easily destroyed.

The one toy that has stood the test of his jaws is a Jolly Ball! It is sold as a ball toy for horses. My dog loves it! It cant deflate at all and it has a handle so we kick it or throw it for him and he is able to retrieve with the handle and bring it back for more fun. At about $20 it was the cheapest dog toy I've ever bought and has lasted for a few months already.
SonnyWimps did mention Jolly Ball (which mine can destroy) but also said no toy is indestructible. My Pits are way worse then my Boerboel in the toy destruction department. So it really depends on the individual dog. Some will destroy certain toys where others won't even if they techinically could.

Thanks to this thread I ordered the bouncy bone by Busy Buddies. So far so good! My malamute, my newfy/leos, and my mini aussies have all been chewin' away at it and it's held up! Sure, it's only been a week, but that's a lot longer than most toys in my house last


I forgot to post what my dogs love. Dentley's Natural Choobles Sterilized Bones - Rawhide & Chews - Dog - PetSmart The inside stuff doesn't last too long before they get it all out, but they will chew the bones for years! Now and then a peice will break off one, but that's rare (and of course I throw that away when it happens). LOVE these bones

cheyAut,

Hello.Do you take your dog out for walk daily?I do,and I sometime jog half the distance and my dog gets tire out and take nap after coming home.I play a lot with my dog too like Frisbee,ball,training.. and find it game is my dog's favorite game.
Also,if I pick her up from Daycare after coming back from trip etc,she seems tired out and take long nap too.No energy to destroy stuff.

My dogs are in agility, herding, and lots of play time, both indoors and outdoors, with each other and with me. But they are high energy dogs and LOVE to chew
