I have tried tuffy and some kong toys. Rubber balls last but everything else is a goner! Any suggestions for a super strong chewer????

Did your dog destroy a black kong?

If they are at that level of destruction, there's little that will last long.

My cocker doesn't destroy rubber, but creams stuffties..

I like rope bones, cattle hooves, and combat extreme toys.. stuffties that last if your dog isn't that that that hardcore a chewer..

I definitely agree about black kongs - if your dog has somehow demolished one of those, God help you.

However, I find anything made out of rope to be very short-lived. My miniature schnauzer deconstructed her rope bones within a day or two.

I like hooves. They last a long time for a chew 'toy' in my house. Marrow bones from the butcher..

By kong I thought you meant the standard kong people stuff.. the black ones are the hardest ones, less destructable..

If your dog destroys that badly, there aren't a lot of toys that will last..

I like throw aways like pop bottles..

I was hoping mine would calm with age, but I'm thinking not anytime soon..

FYI a wet hoof smells like a barnyard.. my parents thought the dog was pooping in the house at first. When dry the smell goes away. It's enough of a chew that you learn to put up with it. lol.

check out golddoastk9. google it or working dog training items. the toys are expensive but they are much more durable. a black kong is good choice. but all dog toys are destructable.

At Petco they have hooves stuffed with bacon and cheese and different flavors. Your dog might like that. Try some different bones and chews, that way it's ok for him to destroy ;)

I got a hoof stuffed with rollover. I was really unimpressed.

The hooves from petsmart come ground off so they are pretty solid. The rollover hoof wasn't so some of the edges were brittle and my girl tried to swallow chunks..

Was all over the rollover but the hoof was crappy...

This topic sparked my curiosity.... what is a healthy mix of toys for a puppy or dog? Right now, Brandi has a tug-o-war rope, balls galore, and a stuffed animal (that she's slowly but surely mutilating). Am I missing something? I'm just itching to buy her a ton of toys to keep her happy and interested.

What kind of dog do you have shannonm? We have a Shar Pei / Pit Bull mix that is a notorious chewer. Usually I buy her the compressed rawhide bones from the feed store. They come in all different sizes and are the only ones that last. They are bone shaped and very hard to chew. It normally takes her 2 or 3 days to completely destroy one.

You might also want to try those round, marrow filled bones from the butcher or you may be able to buy them at your local pet store or feed store. They love those and they are virtually indestructable.

My smaller dogs have lots of stuffies, rawhide flip chips, in fact, they have their own wicker laundry basket filled with toys and goodies.

I have a 10 mo. old golden retriever puppy who is already at 95lbs. He really loves to chew! We have the butcher bones I re-pack them with dog food and freeze them. He thinks it a new bone everytime. The problem is (right now) I have just adopted a goldendoodle who is 2 years old. Both dogs have wonderful temperments, but the 2 year old female has only been here for a week. Bones are too much of a competition. So the butcher bones become a late night treat when they are separated and the puppy need ohter things to chew so was curious what others gave their dogs. Don't get me wrong they HAVE lots of toys but was trying for something different. Thanks for all the input guys!
