NHG: Dog toy recommendations needed

[mrs.jacinthe]

Turns out newdog (Missy) is a powerful, determined chewer.  Like, she tore up a rope toy last night.  

Other than antlers, what toys have your dogs *not* destroyed?  Next up is a fire-hose toy, I think, but I really am trying to avoid spending a fortune to determine what she can't destroy.

UPDATE:  She destroyed an antler today.  3-4 inches in half an hour.  I can't even fathom this ...

Kongs are pretty indestructible. Nylabones or similar could be a good option too. My dog never took to those kinds of bones, but she loves antlers and the Kong with peanut butter and a few pieces of dog food shoved inside.

She has a kong and loves it - and doesn't chew it, fortunately, because it's a 6-year-old one from Dot's reign in the household and is "senior" strength.  LOL  She doesn't seem to dig the nylabone.  She likes to chew and seems to like "tug" toys.  Also seems to like any toy she can carry around with her.  Before the rope toy died last night (RIP), she was trotting around the house with it in her mouth and it was adorable.  But it was toast shortly after she settled down.

Our pup loves this toy. www.chewy.com/starmark-everlasting-bento-ball/dp/106037

It works because the shape of it really makes him work for the treat, so it lasts awhile. Once the treat is gone he doesn't try to destroy it.

We've tried Nylabones too, and none of my dogs have ever liked them.

UPDATE: She demolished at least 3-4 inches of antler in under 30 minutes. WTF, dog?

West paw designs disc (looks like a frisbee).I had a strong chewer and she went through fire hose, tires, etc. She really loved that toy and played with it daily.

West Paw Designs has some hard to destroy toys. BarkBox is a toy and treat delivery service that comes once a month. They have a couple of heavy dog chewer packages and I think they'll refund you or replace if something does get destroyed in 7 seconds. Maybe thinking/brain toys would be a good option? Nina Ottosson and similar are more exciting than toys for our dog, and since she's done with them once the treats have been found they don't get destroyed too easily.

We use westpaw toys with my dog. He's a 1 yr old pitt/boxer/rottie mix. Everything else he shred/destroys. The firehose toys didn't last for him.

I have a chewer who destroyed the Black Kong. So....

We get marrow bones from the butcher to satisfy her need to gnaw on things. She also has a Galileo Nylabone.

Our strong chewers like Jolly Balls. They still eventually get destroyed, but they don't set out to rip it to shreds. The best toys I got for my dog, was another dog. We have 3 dogs. They play with each other and steal each others toys too often for anything to get destroyed too quickly.

Our chewer has a hard time destroying JW toys...but if your chewer can get through antlers, that worries me, lol..
