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 ?
Strong chew toys ?

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)

Ah yes! And you can fill kongs with all sorts of yummy treats!
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 think i saw it at a wal mart, but i can't remember (seems like all i do is shop for dog toys anymoreohh ohhh! I just saw that in a catalog. I thought about buying it but I bet my dogs wouldn't use it.
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:eyeroll:
anyway, it is a super cool toy, especially if you have a teething puppy!

Sorry, but my pitbull mix made kong toys look bad. Each dog is different. The toys I like using are leathers or shutes they use for personal dog training. Those toys are safe and tough!

I hear that goughnuts are very good for serious chewers. No toy is indestructible. Some just take a little longer.

My dog won't touch Kongs or the like. I bought him a Jolly Ball-It's for horses to play with-so it's virtually indestructable AND has a handle on it. He LOVES it. You can buy it at pretty much any horse/tack store.

I found something out yesterday and I thought I would share. On my break at work I went to the local pet store and ended up chatting with the girl that works there. We started talking about kongs.... If anyone else out there has a dog that can actually destroy the indestructible kongs, there is a kong out there that even tougher. Has Anyone heard of the Blue kongs? Apparently they are made for police dogs and other working dogs. Made even stronger than the normal kong. But she told me you can only get them by asking your vet to order it for you. Has anyone seen these?
