Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Mine love Kongs and Nylabones. Not everyone agrees with the nylabone, but I give it during supervised play. Mine also like soft toys.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Some times. But mine will play with the kongs without them, too. Their favorite treat is organic peanut butter, frozen in the kong over night. They will work on it until the Kong is completely spotless.

| my little baby loves her kong too. She has the smallest one, but she still can't get it cleaned out! Her little tongue is too small I guess. So, I stuff it first with cheerios then PB on top of that. Works great and then she can get all the PB out and doesn't get frustrated.

| Stormy also has a few stuffed animal type dog toys that she really loves. One is about her size and she wrestles with it. It's pretty funny. Sometimes she rolls over and it looks like the stuffed bear is pinning her to the ground. LOL!

| If you want the stuffed animal type, I highly recommend the ones made by Ty (the makers of Beanie Babies). They are about the size of beanie babies, but the eyes and noses aren't plastic, they are embroidered, so no dangerous pieces that can be chewed off. They are indestructible. I throw them in the washer and dryer occasionally, and they come out looking like new, squeekers and crackly sounding parts all still work. Other stuffed animals last only a few days. I have seen them at PetsMart and Walgreens.

| Roxie's favorite toy is her KONG Wubba...she's chewed it, flung it, wrestled with it, you name it, and it is still going strong.

| I've read on here that rope toys aren't good either. Roxie doesn't have any of those. I also don't like to give her tennis balls because she rips the green fuzz right off and eats it.
