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 mine would always, always eat grass. They would only eat the patches of the longer stuff near the end of our property line, though. I'd chase them away, but they'd run right back to it.

Surprised he didn't eat them after throwing them up. Never will get used to dogs doing that. Blech.

Frown That's sad. Get a new one? I bet there's a dog out there that would love to come live with you and chew up your stuff.

Dryer sheets. Bounce to be exact. They get them out of the trash and floss their teeth with them first -- holding them between their paws and shredding. Next thing you know, gone.

Well, you know, I guess it works. I hadn't thought about it that way. Maybe it's a GOOD thing they do.

Turns out the dog is smarter than we are.

This weekend we ate raw scarlet runner beans from our garden. Offered one to the dog (who will eat plastic, and dirt, and shoes, for God's sake) and she spit it right out.

We didn't. We ate them. The family members who ate the most got poisoned and ended up in the ER last night full of IVs. Apparently they're fine to eat if you cook them well. If you eat them raw as few as 5 beans can poison you.

Smart dog. (You can draw your own conclusions about the humans in this story.)

So you are now going to eat a potted plant, Bike Mag, a leatherbound journal, a bunch of dish towels, two oven mitts, and a pile of kitchen towels.
