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)

Oh my gosh, that puppy is cute. And I've been wanting to get Sophie a puppy, too. Good thing you're several days' drive away from Colorado Smilie

Any idea what breed(s) her parents are?
Wave olu, if you are asking about the puppy pic I posted, it is a long haired dachshund. About 3 months old. I guess the long hair is forthcoming. laugh out loud Doxie parents. Big Grin Thanks! Smilie

What my dog ate today: She caught a moth in mid-air in the kitchen. Handy talent.

Nothing unfortunately Frown She was doing really well with eating atleast one meal a day but she's stopped again. I made 3 different meals for her this morning and again tonight and she didn't eat any of them. Unless she starts eating, this may be the last week we have with her. I will not let her suffer, so soon....I am just going to have to let her go.

I was picking veggies, setting them on the edge of the garden... Apparantly a tomato looks a lot like his red ball... He pounced on one then started throwing it, chasing it.. and finally he ate it

sticks, sticks & more sticks. Bear has a yard full of tree limbs to chew on, and he keeps dragging them all out of the pile and chewing them up everywhere.

Frown That's so sad. Our old "good" dog has a chronic illness. We've had to start bribing him to eat his dry food by dripping good things on top. Wish all our dogs could have longer with us.

My invisible dog ate my invisible check for $3,000,000,000.

Bad dog. Bad dog.

I was going to cash it at the invisible bank down the invisible road that's down the street a few miles.

Now, if I could just find that darn invisible dog..

Did your invisible dog also eat all the payments not received on subprime mortages these last couple of years? They must have gone somewhere. Scratchchin
