Strong chew toys ?

BiczMyBoy

My dog has pancreatitis there for not being able to eat many bones and other animal products or other food than his dry food so we try to keep him preoccupied with chewy toys or dog toys .He has a very strong jaw and teeth so they don't last long has anyone heard of a good dog toy that wont hurt teeth but will last ?

I think you have to look around. My parents got a ball from petsmart years ago that could not be chewed up and it lasted their boxer, and two boxer mixes (one with lab and one with mastiff!). I would just shop around and look for toys that claim that (they are typically going to be hard of course)

Kong makes indestructible chew toys, my rottie chews on his for hours and it still looks brand new. You can find them in pretty much every pet store.

Ah yes! And you can fill kongs with all sorts of yummy treats!

Johnny

Yep! I jam treats in his and it takes him about 30 minutes to get them out. Sometimes i use peanut butter and freeze it overnight, he goes nuts for hours.

i saw a kong type toy at the store that had an tray the same shape you could fill w/ water and make a toy that was half ice and half kong, clever....

ohh ohhh! I just saw that in a catalog. I thought about buying it but I bet my dogs wouldn't use it.

i think i saw it at a wal mart, but i can't remember (seems like all i do is shop for dog toys anymore sometimes i feel like i might be just a little obsessed with my dog)
it wasn't terribly expensive.
why don't you think your dogs would use it?
i was thinking that you could freeze peanut butter in the water or broth or little bits of treats too...

clover does get bored with the kong toys when he figures out he can't just shred them

anyway, it is a super cool toy, especially if you have a teething puppy!

Criosphynx

because it will cost me money. LOL

I don't know, they aren't too keen on cold stuff

ahhh, the old "wow you paid for that, i prefer to play with the package....or maybe this bit of trash i found" gag, my cat is really really good at that one!
