Dog chew toys that don't get them in trouble: Add your dog's favorites! (Thanks, daisee)

1. Fun stuff
- We leave empty cardboard boxes for the dogs to chew up. Also these loofah bones (cleans their teeth while they rip them apart) and TONS of cat toys (with catnip). (from veritableqndry)

2. Hard-to-destroy stuff

-At dollar tree they carry "milkbone" toys... she beats the hell out of them and still they hold up. (not to mention their only a buck if they destroy them) (from wakethewicked2)

- I've had good luck with these -- the avatar dog has destroyed everything but this kind. They come in different sizes and shapes and you can put treats inside for them to dig out: http://www.petmountain.com/produc...-kong.html . I get mine at a local farm store, but I'm sure you could get them at places like Pets Mart if you don't want to buy online. (from callpocket)

- Here are a couple that have survived Sophie so far:
  • Busy Buddy bouncy bone - We gave up on the rawhide inserts. She rips those out in seconds but likes the toy without them anyhow and cannot kill it.)
  • Everlasting treat ball -Again she pulls out the expensive inserts right off the bat...but she likes bouncing the toy. You can also hide dog kibble in the middle for the dog to try to get out, which entertains him for awhile. She hasn't managed to rip this one at all yet even though it feels soft and flexible.
  • Jolly Ball: - Ours is bigger than the one at this link. It's hysterical to see her stick her snout in the hole and wave the ball in the air. It's bigger than her head. She runs around the house with it on her snout, growling and acting like a maniac. I don't know why she can't chew it up, but she can't.
  • Then there are big Nylabones, which she can kill eventually. But they take a long time to die. (from olu)

Rofl2 I guess I was so lucky that neither of my dogs were like that.
Harvey only took food twice in all the time I had him. The first Thanksgiving (while my mom was here Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) ) he just couldn't help himself and pulled the roasting pan from off of the stove top. It was only the carcass by that time though so not a huge deal...just a greasy mess to clean up from the floor Yucky
And another time he swiped a turkey patty off of my sons plate just as he left the table to go wash his hands after I told him to. laugh out loud
Harvey just reached his face right up there and snagged that sucker. I didn't even have time to say anything before it was gone. LMAO My son wasn't amused. Dontknow


He must have been a chicken thief in a previous life. Stick Out Tongue

How about that cool substance that is created after a milkbone that was buried in the snow is discovered when the snow all starts to melt... It is soft and wet mixed with snow.. it looks like a delicious K-9 treat

at least I hope that is what he was just eating....

Mine ate his sister's pain medication, in addition to his own. Dh gave it to both of them at the same time as they stood right next to each other. Annoyed

Vet said he'd be okay, though.

Aww, too bad he and his sister need pain meds. Hope they will get better. Our old dog (the meek, good one, not the one who gets her own thread) was just diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He's getting cough and pain meds. I wouldn't put it past Greedy Girl to grab for them, esp. since we have to wrap them in tasty stuff so he'll take them. He votes for cheese.

No doubt. You think I would learn to move the package back from the edge of the counter. In my defense I do have a 6 week old and I am very sleep deprived....

Great call. That is exactly what we did on the advice of our vet and it has worked great.

My dog has a really passive but sneaky personality. I think my biggest challenge will be not to post a new "what my dog ate" post every day.. laugh out loud

good pets are great for toddlrs and kids. most of it will mean that he/she wont have allergies to pets later in like. + nothing cuter than seeing a child and dog passed out right near each other
