I think Raven took that as a personal challange



Took her about a week, most are destroyed in 3 days or less!

Is everyone else burning through toys for their pups?

Umm...yes, yes indeed! Poor stuffies don't stand a chance here! We picked up some AKC stuffed dog toys at Big Lots, and phew they are taking a beating!

The Kongs seem to have survived the longest!

There is a local dog bakery named Molly's that carries a dog toy with a warranty that if it becomes damaged, you take it back to the store and get a replacement for free...I will check in with them to see what the brand is.

If it has a squeaker - 20 minutes, max. (thus we don't buy squeaker toys as they excite her too much and throw her prey drive into over drive since she is a super drivey dog)

Kong only lasts because she can't get at it constantly - that and she uses it, her rope, her treat dispenser toy and a stick as retrieve toys. So she won't destroy them.

treat dispenser toy - she loves it SOOOOO much. The "everlasting" treat that was in it only lasted about an hour before she managed to get it out and eat it - but the actual toy itself is going on about it's third week of not being destroyed. I strongly suggest getting one of these.

Stuffed animal type toys - dead in an hour.

Bully sticks - 4-5 hours depending.

Knuckle bone - seems to be the only thing that actually lasts it took her 3-4 months to break down one. Now there are just two pieces left of it.

The stuffed shin bones - hers is on it's third week of still being intact.

We love knuckle bones, they last months around here. We also love nylabones, the flavored ones are a huge hit.

We got a Bumi for Isis and it's held up pretty well. Plus, it has a replacement warranty if it gets damaged. She loves playing tug with it (although she always thinks my side is better, thus, she wants the side I hold)

We also picked up a dogzilla toy tonight - she loves it - but it turned into a retrieve and keep away toy so it'll never be destroyed - but it seems pretty nice.

Kale doesn't usually destroy his toys, he just likes to shake (kill) them lol. He's had his Skineezz fox since the holidays and it is still like new, only stiff from his dry slobber haha Kale loves his treat dispensing toys as well. Kong Wobbler, Omega Paw Tricky Treat, Tug-a-Jug, Kongs, and the Premier Bristle Bone are all hits over here Unfortunetely the Everlasting Treat holder got destroyed the first time I gave it to him, he focused on one side of the toy and gnawed the rubber off. The one I got him as a puupy is still ok cux he only have his puppy teeth lol $25+ for a toy that got demolished in 2 hours was a blow I was hoping it would last like the first on I got him lol

Mine does the same thing! Always wanting the side I'm holding. Her sharp puppy teeth don't feel good when she accidentally catches one of my fingers!

As for stuffed toys, once they become ripped, I just remove the stuffing and squeakers from inside and let Luna play with the cloth. But even then, they don't last forever I've found ropes to be pretty durable and the stuffing-less toys that look like foxes and raccoons.

River loves his squirrel, the no stuffing kind, but him and my chihuahua like to pull the stuffing out of every thing else. I have triied giving river hard toys and he doesnt like them, they MUST be soft and have a squeaker

The brand of toys the local dog bakery said has a warranty is West Paws Design www.westpawdesign.com

Cali won't play with toys so I don't buy them but my sis in law's dogs have two and they still aren't destroyed and they normally take a few days for a kong toy to be done. She has had them a month now.

so i bought this 16 squeaker dog toy yesterday.....it's awesome! Luna hasn't popped any of the squeakers yet, but I'm sure that won't take too long, at which point she'll have 15 more to pop!

The only toys I have found that Thor and Nero have not destroyed is the JW rubber toys they sale at Petsmart and Petco. I got 3 squeakers for them. One is a ball that has been around for a year. It's Nero's fav he runs around the house chomping it to hear it squeak. Then we have a ball with feet and fur Thor did pull some of the fur off but the ball itself is still intact and squeaks. Then they have this orange thing that squeaks not sure what it is. It has ears and Thor chews on them but he has never chewed one off yet.

I've been on the hunt for indestructible toys for months now. Kemba chews through all the West Paw toys in just a few days. What I'm most worried about is that she eats the rubber from the toys. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Or know of any toys that really are indestructible?

This has been a favorite toy for awhile now:

It does not squeak, which is a bummer, but has probably helped to keep it "alive". Squeaking things die quickly in this house! It has a fun, erratic bounce that Sabaka enjoys.

Kongs or any other extremely hard rubber just plain won't get used. Skinz or any other squeaker toys get shredded and eaten or swallowed whole.

My boys prefer flavored nylabones or Antlerz. Ropes toys work for a while and allows them to play tug-o-war.

Every one of my pom's toys are stuffingless now. lol

We bought Kya one of those stuffing free toys with a noise maker in it. It looks like a racoon. She LOOOOOOOOOOOVED it! She played with that thing until the only thing left was a piece of material and the voice box. I can't find them anywhere, and wish I could bc that was her favorite toy.

Now she has a water bottle toy we got from Academy (It's a kong product) and we have had that for about a year and she still has not torn or destroyed it. It's a blue canvas shell with a brown racoon tail on it. The waterbottle is long gone from it but she still plays with that thing like it's her life line lol

Only downfall: The voice box was hard and she kept smacking herself in the head with it. She never seemed to mind though LOL!

There's a daily deal website that has those for free every once in a while. (http://www.thatdailydeal.com/), all you pay is $4.99 shipping. On the informercial, I think they are like 2 for $20, so it's a pretty good deal actually.

Next time I see that deal come up, I'll post in the forum about it.

They have the voice box in them too?

I've seen the stuffing free ones, but I haven't seen the voice box ones. She wont play with it unless it squeals lol.

Not sure about the voice box, but a sqeaker in the head and one in the tail as well. When you say voice box, I keep thinking one of the boxes that "moos" when you turn it over, or kinda sounds like a high pitched giggle when you shake it rapidly.

But squeakers, yes. They are the "Crazy Critters" brand you see on TV, selected at random though.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It squeals when it is moved or shaken.

no toy is indestructible for maggie. We are talking about the same dog that can take collars off and take cone head collars off as well.

Kemba is the exact same way! She managed to take the cone off and destroy it - all while in her crate!

I put it on, so there is no way she can get it off but she ends up doing i!

Holy Moley!! I'm going to have to try all these new toys you guys are posting to see if they last a bit longer with my boys! Odin's favorite toys are rope toys and he goes through those every 2 weeks. As for Eshe, he LOVES Kong Wubbas and I buy those in bulk....He doesn't get to play with his wubba the whole time and when he gets it it's supervised play so they have been lasting one a month at this point. But anything soft, between my two...forget about it.
