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 joy, I finally get to partake of the "what my dog ate" thread. Well, he eats lots of sticks and bark. We heat with wood, so there will always be wood laying around for him to chew on. As long as he doesn't start grabbing burning sticks from the fireplace it shouldn't be a problem.

We've been watching him 24/7, so he hasn't been able to get into too much trouble. We did give him one of those "greenies" treats.... holy moley, what's in those things? Doggie crack? He goes nuts whenever he hears anything resembling the wrapper containing the greenie he ate 3 days ago.

Maybe you could nickname him "The Mulcher".

And also, here's what someone else's bad dog ate Smilie :

Dog Eats More than $800 in Cash
You won't see a halo over Pepper Ann's head.

Not that the eight-year-old Lab-German shorthair mix isn't loveable, it's just that see seems to find trouble without even trying.

"She's always been naughty, and when she was little it was 'you're lucky you're so cute, you'd be gone otherwise.' But she's just a cute little dog. She has personality, but she has issues also," owner Debbie Hulleman said.

One of those issues is a tendency to swallow anything that fits in her mouth.

"She's eaten lipstick, so lipstick gets all over the carpet, ball point pens all over the carpet, toothpaste, shampoo," Hulleman recalled. "She's done a lot, Kleenex, she'll eat a whole box of Kleenex if she can get it."

Recently, Pepper Ann topped even those feats. She and her sibling Zach were at Grandma's house, while Debbie and her husband were on vacation. Grandma had a friend over, who left a purse on the ground despite instructions not to leave anything in Pepper Ann's reach.

When the two women woke up, the dog had dug into the purse, and devoured more than $800 cash.

Some pieces were spread around the house — and some were left in the backyard, after Peppy swallowed the money and did her business.

"Pretty soon (I) came to a pile, that had a fifty dollar bill hanging out, part of a fifty, and I said 'gosh, look at that,'" Hulleman laughed. "There were lots of piles with money hanging out there, so I had to save it, rinse it, strain it."

The dog owner taped together the remnants she recovered, and swapped the mangled bills for more than $700 bucks worth of fresh currency at a local bank.

Hulleman is hanging on to half a one hundred dollar bill, in hopes she will recover the other portion. She is less optimistic that Pepper Ann will turn over a new leaf.

"She goes from room to room, looking to get into trouble."

It looks like a lot of dogs have been busy today. laugh out loud

Even Bear has something to contribute. First he chewed up a piece of plastic off the weed eater, I think it was from the handle?
Then just now he ate the fortune out of a fortune cookie. - I hope it was a good one. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Bear isnt supposed to be left to roam free in the house if we're gone.
He goes into his cage until we get home. But apparently my husband didnt shut the door.
I opened up the back door and, guess who is waiting to run out the door.
So while we were gone, Bear ate all the cat food in both kitty bowls, and some "goodies" out of the Kitty box. Yuk

I really do laugh while reading this thread. I guess I got lucky with both of my dogs. I think Harvey shredded a skirt of mine...that I had worn out on a date...and I think some floppy woven hat that fell onto the floor of my closet.

Well, a floppy woven hat taunting him from the closet floor...that's like an open bank vault waiting for a burgler. It wouldn't have been very dogly to pass that up Smilie

yeah..I think he felt he'd lose his Dog card if he didn't do that. I normally keep my closets closed... for some reason one of the doors must have been slightly ajar....he couldn't pass that up.
