| Eating toys Hi. I have owned 4 over the past 20 years. The toy destruction will stop around 1 year of age. I buy a lot of toys from big lots. You have to look at the quality. They have a lot of milk bone products and a few other brands. The price range is 2 to 4 dollars if they her destroyed it's not a hug deal. I would also make a few toy boxes. I would put them in the room your little one plays in. That way they don't get fixated on just 1. I avoid any rubber toys just Incase they tear it up if they eat the rubber they can have tummy problems. The fiber filled toys. If they eat the stuffing from the fiber fled ones it will pass through there system. The other thing that will help is rawhide they can chew on that and not their toys. I would also allow about 30 min a day to play with them and their toys. I hope these tips help |

| All three of mine are master tou destroyers two will actually eat toys! We love the kongs, pet stages rag rope ball is our fav, zannies lil barnyard squeakers and cheap stuffies so no tears are shed when 3the pirrahna dogs shred it in under an hour. I have bought a lot of natural fiber untreated rope and made rhwir own toys and we're lucky the local pet store sells locally made dog toys made of fleece like thwir beds both made by the same lady these seem to last a bit as it is hard to shredd and aurvives the washing machine. We did like the Orca toys but as two got older no longer puppies my schnorkie and mini schnauzer figured out hiw to use their new jaw power to peel off chunks.

Also, what about something made of fleece and then stuffed? Jaeger's bed is fleece, and he's been beating the crap out of it for 4 months and hasn't ripped it yet. | |

| Try Tuffies Our Ziggy is a toy destroyer. I found a toy called a Tuffy that I bought from QVC of all places and he loved it! It took him several years to destroy it and is now on his second one. It is made of really tough material and is sewed really well in several layers. No stuffing ever came out. He loves the ring. I highly recommend these toys. Here is the website Tuffy's Toys, Durable Dog Toys, Unique Pet Toys - TuffieToys.com. I found them at a small doggie boutique near my home so that's where I bought the second one. Good luck with the toy destroyers!

My 2 boys "kill" toys that are way tougher than those and yet every TY toy they have is still not torn up! The sqeakers are broke but they still don't tear up the toy. I don't know what it is about those toys! Also they like the fleece Kong Wubba with 2 ends of the ties but killed the one that is the tough canvas type material. Only place I can find them now sometimes is at Homegoods and TJ Maxx .

| 2 years old and still chewing.... My Charlie is two and his love for chewing has not slowed at all. Any stuffed toys are shredded and emptied of all the stuffing within minutes, luckily he just throws it around and doesn't eat it. We have to buy actual bones for him to chew because he shreds plastic ones, even those marketed as 'tough chewers'. I've told the boutique owners in the area, that if they ever need a product tester, give me a call. Charlie will put any chew toy through the ultimate test! To change things up we freeze pumpkin in ice cube trays, and give him carrot sticks occasionally |

| Oh my gosh Mikki does this too! She gets the stuffing out and kills the squeaker in every one of them. It's driving me crazy. Poor Rosie doesn't even get a chance to play. I will look at the Tuffy's toys. But what is TY toys Kristin? Do you have them yet?

| I bought a Tuffy bone-shaped toy and within 30 minutes it was pretty damaged. Actually it arrived in the mail with strings hanging off of it. The squeaker barely worked too, and there was only 1 squeaker on one side of the toy. There are supposed to be two squeakers, one on each end. For $10 I was really disappointed. |

| My boys like the Chuck it balls. We tried the Kong squeaker ones, but they didn't last - de fuzzed them and killed the squeakers. So, bought these and have lasted a month and still going strong. They bounce well and the puppies can gnaw on them (when tire of playing fetch) and still look like new. I'd recommend those. Amazon.com: Chuckit! Ultra Ball Small 2-inch, 2...

| My personal preference on toys, I'll just cgime in here saying I hace one dog with bad teeth two I want to keep with having perfect teeth, is while indistrictice harder toys seem to have appeal, I'd rather clean up a shredded mess and replace toys repeatable instead if dealing with broken chipped irriplacable dog teeth and doggy dental care is more expensive than a ton of toys.
