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)

I went to Blockbuster today, some lady returned Marley and Me... Her dog had chewed up the case and the disc. Since she had to buy it, they gave her a Marley and Me Frisbee... She gave it to me cause her dog would just eat it.. I brought it home, Gus destroyed it in under ten minutes...

I refuse to see that movie. I remember when I read the book. I read it one sitting in the bedroom last May with the a/c on (window unit)... the man of the house was playing some game on the xbox and continuously looked at my strangly as i would cry one minute and laugh hysterically the next. Love the book. The very next weekend, we went and adopted Tails from the Humane Society.

Besides knowing they ruined the book, i really dislike owen wilson and jennifer aniston as actors.

Poor little guy Frown Hope he feels better soon. Not a favorite day for our dogs then. Sophie ate lots of dog biscuits while she was at the vet getting her shots and her blood draw for a heartworm check. She can never figure out why I let them poke her with needles.

The ring probably smelled good...the sock, hm. Ours still has a weakness for worn socks when she can catch them.
Right now there is a pair of robins building its nest on a drain pipe right above the spot in the yard where our dog hangs out all day. I see her out there just waiting for flightless little baby robins to start raining out of the nest. Wish there were some way to warn the expectant parents.
