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)

Today my cat ate the leaves off of my lucky bamboo plant. I'm not sure if that's going to be lucky for either of us.

hehe your daughter and the dog get along?Smilie
Oh, they get along great! They are always together.

The dog just has a complete hair toy fetish. Sometimes she steals my hair scrunchies and hides them under her dog bed and licks them. If I'm lucky I catch her before she moves to stage 2 and kills them. Smilie

ANOTHER hair decoration, sneaked off of a vanity top. She is on a tear.

And also she just raided the bathroom trashcan again even though I was in the next room. She was looking festive and tossing an empty mouthwash bottle in the air when I caught her.

We've been lucky so far... but then again he's usually within our sight at all times or in his kennel.

This little guy had probably doubled in size in the last 3 weeks. It's amazing. I gotta update some pics.

Foiled attempt:
Late last night DH heard a bam, bam, bam sound heading down the stairs. Turned out the dog was hauling down a full, plastic trashcan from the upstairs bathroom.

She was so disappointed when he took it away before the shredding could begin.
