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)

Aw, thanks! They're doing much better, not sick just got spayed and neutered.
Oh, that's really good--here's wishing them a long life (and some more "what my dog ate" episodes" to entertain us Smilie ).

Very little. DH is out of town--Sophie and the old good dog are on semi-hunger strike. (Hm, they don't go on strike when I am gone....)

He's eatin some chicken jerky that I stuffed into a toy ball of his. He's running up the stairs... dropping it... picking up treats along the way. Rinse, repeat.

In the battle of dog claws vs. stairs... I do believe that dog claws are winning.

He's been pretty good lately as far as not eating household items.

She doesn't usually do this, but yesterday she ate the cat puke.
She won't eat the ultra-expensive dog food, but slightly digested cat food is just fine.

You'd better read the thread really carefully first--must find the one where the dog ate a new doorway to the outside through the garage!

That is one of those hidden expense they never warn you about when you tell people you are thinking about getting a dog...


Today Gus threw up... Looked like chunks of Milkbone, and deer poo....
