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)

What is with dogs and cheese wrappers? All the dogs I've ever owned manage to get ahold of them from the garbage...
Bear got one the other day. Well it wasn't a wrapper, but the paper that goes between cheese slices. My husband was grilling burgers and the paper fell on the ground, within seconds bear had gobbled it down. Crazy

Needless to say i am going to find some bitter apple a spray i heard about and see if that helps.... In mean time more toys and chew toys for her.... Gesh i wish she would stop it already with cords, on bright side getting very good with electrical tape and wire cutters darn dog!

My dog tried to eat my friend's dog once. My dog is to his dog as the universe is to Leonard Nimoy's butt.

My dog used to lick the bitter apple spray off of stuff before destroying it Smilie

What my dog, who'd been very good lately, ate tonight: DD's fancy pen, which was way up on a counter. I could tell when I got home b/c the dog would not come to the door to greet me or meet my eyes. I noticed the place she kept looking away from especially hard, and there was the pen--remnants of it anyhow. Don't tell me dogs can't develop a conscience.

What bear didn't eat... someone stuck a patty, sausage? or hamburger? on top of our fence, and he was jumping trying to get it. Mad

mattman, I hope chia is getting better. I felt so mean when we got Sophie spayed--she was utterly miserable and out of it. A few days later she was fine, but those were a sad few days for her. hug

Riker decided a very, very, very old dead squirrel was the gift of the day. It looks all greasy and tail-less. Just gross what they eat.

Well I received my case of Blue Dog treats yesteday. FedEx placed them on the JEEP outside our house. Frown Frown Not inside the Jeep, but on the Jeep. Mad Mad Our two dogs ate four boxes - completely eaten - the entire case destroyed, they must of gotten full because there were two boxes chewed on but not eaten. drool drool drool Guess these are good??? We only know that the outside box was on top of the hood of the Jeep, the rest of the packaging was all over the yard. shake head shake head Not sure what FedEx was thinking...it says DOG TREATS all over the outside of the box.
