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)

my dogs are working on some toys right now

my oldest is no problem but sometimes he will find his way into my woodworking shop, grab a random piece of wood and start chewing.

the youngest (just over 1 yr) is the PITA, but we never let her hang out where she can get into trouble

My dog has been eating styrofoam for the last few days. I can't wait until the siding people get done and clean it up. His poop is cool looking; it is brown with white 'dots' all through it. I'm sure it would glow under a black light. LMAO

Yesterday, my dog ate a pound of ground beef that my wife left on the counter.

And the tupperware container the beef was in.

All that was left was a little square of plastic from the lid.

my dog ate a rabbit poop this morning. puked it out then ate it again. that was a nice scene early in the morning.
my dog doesn't chew on anything that's not his "knock on wood" I have been finding left over chewing ropes in his poop. he actually pooped a whole section of the rope at once. it looked kinda cool.

Two days ago my dog (a Boston Terrier) decided to eat three quarts of strawberries. Of course he couldn't sneak and eat them when I got home--he waited until I spend an hour to wash, take the hulls off and slice them.

Then he went outside and at the berries off the vine--what is up with that? No jam for our family this week Frown

I just couldn't believe it--and can you believe he didn't have diarrhea? Now that is a strong stomach (especially since he only weighs 24 lbs and his stomach was all sticking out).

I don't think my dog eats his own, but he's always on the hunt for Kitty Crunchies (cat turds). Nasty little booger. And, yes...he then wants to drench you with puppy kisses. vomit

my pups also stalk out the kitty litter box for crunchies!! so sick . i take them and brush their teeth if they do it. They also eat that white stuff out of all the blankets.
last week they had a blister pack of meds under the bed and got my coupon organizer out of my purse and they had coupons everywhere. I couldnt save em all! LOLlaugh out loud

My youngest ate an asphault shingle once - you know the ones that shingle your roof?

Well I noticed her hacking up some black "stuff" and was like "WTF did you eat?" then I found the shingle. She puked quite a bit the rest of the night, then drank some water and was right as rain the next day.

It's amazing what dogs can eat and be fine.....

my wife has had the unfortunate pleasure of pulling poop out of my dogs' butts - they eat rope (one of their toys is rope), then they have a hard time squeezing it out (think - pearl necklace) and she helps them by pulling on it.
