Are there chew toys he can't destroy????? Bo loves his chew toys, but I haven't found one yet he can't destroy. He likes the ones that makes noise when you squeeze them, especially animal noises. He can destroy one in 15min:eek: Stuffing everywhere. Is there one out there he can't destroy? |
I have the same problem. Princess destroys all toys. The only one that she has not destroyed is the kong but she does not like to play with that very much. I don't even buy stuffed toys anymore as they will not last and then there is stuffing everywhere. |
I find that the Ty Bone shaped toys can not be destroyed for some reason... they dont look particularly durable but they are the only toy in the house that has not been destroyed. |
Those TY toys are amazingly durable. |
Agree with the Ty Bones, I also have toy destroyer so that is all she gets. |
Lots of the stuff toys I bring home are good for garbage after 5min.:rolleyes: I found that hide-a-squirrel is a pretty good stuff toy. They have been playing with it VERY ruffly for a over 6 months now and I still have 2 out of the 3 little squirrels left. Also, my dog also love their skunk stuff toy from Ty . Almost a year old and still look good coming out of the washing machine. |
Thanks, I will check into it. Bo always looks so sad when I have to get rid of his torn toys.:( |
I've found latex ones last longer than rubber or stuffed ones. Now what I really need to find are ones that my Skyes can't destroy......they've EATEN several of these..... Nylabone Products Non-Edible Big Chews BIG CHEWS for big dogs - Dino Bone & a dozen giant black Kongs.:rolleyes: xx Meggie |
LOL! I have the same problem with Lola...she loves toys that squeak!! I can't even begin to tell you how many toys she has gone through..... |
I've been looking for more durable toys too. Turner by himself wasn't too rough on toys, but with the addition of Annabelle, who's now eight months, even the Wubba toy's in shreds--still usable so far, but definitely worse for wear. I can't personally vouch for these toys, but this website has a large assortment of the more durable dog toys. One even says they'll replace it if your dog chews down to an underneath layer. indestructable dog toys, tough chewers, tough toys, nylabone,goughnuts, water wubba, bumper, float, floating, water, retriever, chuck it, chuckit, hugglehounds, clyde the bear, rabbit, squirrel, water bottle cruncher, boomer, ball |
I like the petstages rag rope ball but they can still shred a couple of the stuffed ropes. A local lady makes dental ropes and they are pretty darn strong my dogs destroy all toys! Kong (brand) are super tough and they have mini dog ones now too. I would reccomend King but wish there was a better brand of this durability and softenss like this toy linked here:Senior is made softer puppy is safe for small dogs I prefer ONLY the soft ones. Puppy Kong Squeaker | PetEdge.com Kong Senior Dog Toys | PetEdge.com I used to say Orca (brand) but after a bit mine figured out they can bite and tear instead of just bite and they break off little pieces and would eat them-not sure if they or how much ate of them. Scoobers & Elvis now will "kill" anything with a squeeker-Scoobers however will not stop until he has ripped the squeaker out of it then he's done with it-poor Elvis only likes toys that squeak, so he only gets them when Scoobers isn't in the room. In general I offer this warning-going harder isn't better... Yorkies especially have dental issues. You cannot replace dog teeth. Yorkies are a breed vets recommend only giving soft chew treats to so why would you give a hard toy to them? Sometimes cleaning up the mess is worth it. |
Morning everyone! Harry is a destroyer-of-toys too. Even a Kong can disappear in half an hour. I've given up buying soft toys - worried about him eating the stuffing, and the stuffing-less toys are gone in moments. What we've taken to doing is this - every time we've 'worn out' a pair of socks, I wash them, knot them in the middle and then re-knot them a few more times. They actually last for a week or two before they get too stringy and I have to throw them away. They're relatively soft and kinder on their teeth and gums, too :):socks: Sally + Harry x |
1 Attachment(s) Just this week, Roxie destroyed in mere moments the cute little Christmas bear we bought her for her Christmas card pictures. There was stuffing everywhere...the poor thing never stood a chance! Her FAVORITE toy of all time has been her pink KONG Wubba. She's had it now for two years, and it is still in perfect condition. We throw it, she tugs it and chews it, and it's been washed in the machine a hundred times...still perfect. |
I let Mina tear the stuffing out (teddy bear brains), throw the stuffing away and sew the lil critter back up. I found some tiny tennis balls that squeek,but those are for Christmas. She REALLY has a thing for squeeking,over and over and over and over,usually during the news when we are trying to watch. |
I was thinking a Kong as well. Katie Scarlett loves hers! |
TOYS ? Anything stuffed with a squeaker is gutted promptly. I gave up buying cute stuffed toys years ago. I do buy Kong and Nyla bone toys. If we weren't fearful about them eating stuffing and plastic, most of us would let them rip open and kill toys on a regular basis. It is a very doggy thing to do. When Gracie played with fleece scraps I was inspired. This is how I make toys for my Yorkies, it is Gracie's famous 'Pink Baby'. I buy fleece, one yard will make tons of toys. Cut 4 inch wide strips. Then cut the strips into 8 inch lengths. This is a candy bar shape. I use 3 layers of fleece for each side, no stuffing. I double stitch 3 sides. Then I put a kong squeaker ball inside the pillow case shaped toy and stitch the bottom closed. I cut the edges with pinking shears. You can use a permeant black marker to make a happy face or black thread to make face if you desire. Another toy is just triple strips of fleece knotted, they love to play tug with these. IMHO People should not play tug with dogs, but is fine for them to play tug with each other. |
You should try getting a 'Chewber' they are awesome and indestructible!! |
1 Attachment(s) Defluffed! At least she destroys her toys and not my furniture :rolleyes: |

I feel so lucky.... Toys around here last forever!! Mine play fetch with them, tug of war, and constant squeaking.... But except for a small hole maybe every 3 months, I never have problems... Uh oh, maybe I just jinxed myself!!! |
The only thing I found to last are kongs, nylabones and those stuffing free animals...I think are called Crazy Critters. They cost 9.99. |
Love the fleece toy idea! guess we'll have to make one. Abby chewed the coating off the kong tennis ball and I took it away, now I can repurpose it! We weave fleece strips, either braided or lanyard weaving, they are really some of our best and favorite toys. I also sew rectangle scraps of fleece on top of one another (3-5 layers thick) and then cut towards the middle, kind of like a rag quilt. they toss them! |
Kongs are pretty much the only toys that last more than a few minutes in our house. I found a Kong rope toy the other day and bought it immediately. It was in the shape of a monkey and had a small squeaker in the head. Well, the monkey was legless within an hour. Then he lost his arms. Now he's just a head on a rope. I may give the Wubba a try. |
I have a toy-killer as well. We have good luck with Kongs, Nylabones, and medium-sized Cuz balls (which are so big he can only really carry them around by the feet). I also buy stuffing-free squeaky toys (Skinneez, Crazy Critters, etc.) - they get torn apart and de-squeakered, but there isn't the stuffing mess to clean up or worry about. My crazy boy still plays with the carcasses when the squeaker is gone. |
There is a line of fleece toys that come "unstuffed". One less thing to pull out. Kong makes some smaller versions with squeaker toys in the head that can be replaced. We've actually had 2 of these since we first brought Miss Scarlett home more than a year ago and they've lasted even when everything else has gotten trashed.

I thought the Kong was great until they ate the top off it. I think mine are part goat. |

I should preface this by saying that my pooch doesn't really live up to his name (Chewie)--he's not really a toy destroyer at all. However, have you looked into Skinneeez toys? The one we have is a stuffing-free plush with squeakers in both ends. We've had it about a year, it's tolerated all kinds of tug (including tug with my sister's Boxer) and several rounds through the washer, and I can't even see anyplace where the stitching is starting to come undone. Plus it's floppy!  This is the one that we have. |
