Good stuffed toy for Yorkies???? 3 Attachment(s) Hi Everyone, Just wondering does anyone elses Yorkies tear up stuffed toys. Every stuffed toy that I have bought for Molly she has tore up, now it could be because they were from Walmart. ( cheap) I still think she is tearing them up really fast. Anyone know of any stuffed toys that can with stand my puppys chewing habit??? She will only play with stuffed toys she hates the plastic and the rubber kind. Can anyone help me find my Molly good stuffed toys??????????????? Thanks, Crystal and Molly |

Did you ever try the rope bones...they are pretty durable |

She's also been chewing on the same rawhide chew stick almost since the day we got her (a month ago) and it hardly even looks used. |
Just wondering are Nylabone's ok for Yorkies? |
Parker doesnt tear up his toys, Just got Maddie, Not sure if she will. :p |
Annabelle doesn't really like stuffed toys, except for a beanie baby whale. She usually goes to town on an old rag, or Hannah's little underwear. I think that a child's stuffed animal would work, they are really hard to tear apart. |
I heard that the Nylabone's were not good for them - Easy for them to choke on. But, I've never tried one, so I dont know for sure. |
I have found that baby toys hold up really well. Sophie likes them with the rattles and the crinkle in them. They seem to hold up better than the dog toys we buy her. Just make sure that they don't have any plastic eyes or noses that they can chew out and get choked on. :) |
Yeah, I agree with trying child stuffed toys. We've got a little squeaky stuffed toy for Tristan that he had dissected and removed the squeaker in no time! He has stolen a few stuffed animals from my children that have been holding up well!!!!:) Karen |
I have found that Walmart toys do not last long either. My problem is trying to keep my Golden away from the little toys because she just destroys them. Alphy has a baby kong that he loves and one of those Hartz bones. It's white on the outside and the inside is either purple, blue, orange, etc. All the dogs have them, size appropriate. Although :D Abby likes Alphy's and vice versa. |
ty makes beanie babies for dogs now they have them on their webbie ty.com under bow wow beanies i got one for my dog she likes it! it has a squeaker and crinkles in it! |
I think it all depends on the toys . . .some of Tigers are and some aren't. And now Nika seems to be picking up Tiger's destructive habits :eek: |
we use simply fido dog toys. they are safe and non toxic. http://www.simplyfido.com/ |
Yep, the walmart toys are cute, but cheap. Princess loves toys. The toys I get from Petsmart last a lot longer, that is until her sister Mandy finds them. Forget it, Mandy will chew up anything. Princess has her own little toy box. Her toys last a lot longer.:) :) :) :) |

I've actually heard the opposite. I've heard that greenies and raw hide bones are bad, and the safe substitution for clean teeth and fresh breath were nylabone's. Does anyone else have info on this? I'd like to know since Bella has a few nylabones. :confused: :confused: |
Romeo's mommy - those are cute toys! |

yorkie toys I buy all my little ones toys from petedge.com or jeffers.com they have a lot of good things in there, just order the book it's free or go to the web sites. All my little yorkies loves when UPS comes they know they get something new Dragonfly |
liltrist- we really like simply fido. romeo likes to tear up stuffed animals and with these i don't worry that he will get poisoned or choke. they hold up very well and we are very happy with them. paws up for us.:) |
awww Mom come on--that's half the fun--tearing it up! Mine chew up the toys too. I, like you, just buy the cheap ones and just toss them when they get torn and get them a new one. I have tried some more expensive pet store toys and they really didn't last any better than the cheap ones. They love to bite on them, shake them and tear on them with their teeth--makes them feel tough! |

I think it just depends on the dog. Some are destructive, some are not. Penny's joy in life is to gut a new stuffed animal. She will puncture the squeaker, rip it out, then rip out all stuffing... and wa-lah! She has the perfect toy! For some reason, she'd rather play with the leftover "puppet." I know many dogs destroy the toy or puncture the squeaker and are done with it. Lucky for us, she loves the shell. We actually have to watch her with other dogs' toys because I know she will ruin them. |
Regarding the Nylabones, for my little one everyone recommended the "Gumabone" variety - nothing to choke on! He likes it, but doesn't love it all the time. Buddy just ripped up a stuffed octopus today in about 30 seconds. The only toys he loves to death and hasn't destroyed (seem really tough!) are: 1. Big Mean Kitty by http://www.FatCatInc.com - they have TONS of great toys - you can even buy your little one "chicken lips" - they are very tough toys - the Big Mean Kitty I have for Buddy is made of very tough canvas. He LOVES it. 2. The "Petstages" puppy toys are good - though I did have one soft one rip. They have one that has lots of knotted pieces of canvas at the ends and buddy loves chewing on the strings - I guess they're like shoelaces. His favorite toy by far is his little "Bad Cuz" - here is a cool site that did tests of dog toys for durability for Boston Terriers - I don't think a Yorkie could cause as much damage! http://www.boston-terrier-challenge....-toy-test.html |

I pick up stuffed baby toys at garage sales (only clean ones). I think that baby toys are well made. Reuger really likes the ones that have things that rattle in them. If he tears them up I don't worry about it because I only spent a quarter or fifty cents for it. |
Toys I also buy American Kennel Club toys -- Kasey loves the small and the medium sized squirrels (the latter is almost as big as she is!), and somehow their squeakers have remained intact. She's got a real talent for extracting squeakers! I found these at the Pet Supermarket and they've held up better than most of her other toys.... Good luck! |
Buddy doesn't tear up his stuffed animals, but we give him lots of chews rawhide and nylabone. I read in a yorkie book that Nylabomes are ok and my vet said they were I would make sure your baby has lots of stuff to chew up and maybe he will take it easy on the stuffed animals;) |
2 Attachment(s) Hi! Ginger doesn't like most rubber toys either. But Pet Stages makes a couple of toys with ribbons running through rubber tubes, and one with a robe tied to a rubber star-shaped thingy. I found them accidentally, and they are her favorite toys. She chews and chews on the ribbons with little damage. Looking for link... Caution...some of their toys are transparent blue or pink rubber others are solid colored plastic. Ginger has been able, in no time, to destroy and consume the plastic. The transparent blue stuff lasts forever! The attached pics from their website are toys that have lasted forever, and she loves the ribbons and ropes (she doesn't like regular rope toys either). Hope this helps. Here's the link:http://www.petstages.com/default2.asp P.S. If you decide to try any of their toys, pm me with which ones, we've tried a lot of them so I know what stands up to serious chewing. (Ginger has even destroyed a KONG!) |

Careful, my vet and trainer have both told me that the stuffing in dog toys is easier to digest and DOES NOT expand in their tummies. Stuffing in children's toys often expands and or clumps when wet. This can lead to serious blockage issues. |
