Dog toys

JR4

Just wondered if anyone can help me with dog toys my puppy (a 7mth old bichon) is chewing through he toys within minutes of getting them he loves the squeaky ones but they don't last does anyone know where i can get some that might last longer than 5 minutes so far this week i have thrown away half of his toys 9 (and he pulls a really sad face when he sees me throw them away )

thank you

I have the same problem with my Staffordshire Bull Terrier girl. She can destroy most dog toys in seconds :eek:

I buy my girl kong air balls. They squeak and come in different sizes and last for weeks.

There are also normal kongs that come in black for the mega chewers! perhaps it would be worth trying one of those
Here's just one example

I have the extra tough kongs for my terrier, but the new puppy has trashed them with her needley teeth - they are so tiny and sharp they can puncture anything!

Agree with the airdogs, i've got Great Danes who can chew through anything but the airdogs (especially the long ones or the rugby ball ones) don't seem to get detroyed.

5 minutes max in this house (the squeak lasts about 30 seconds)... lightweight chewers!

Some of the black and yellow tough toys range at Pets at Home I've found to be OK with mega-chomp-jaws... but he basically doesn't get many toys since he just kills them - a few of the more solid rubber balls are about the limit (not the completely solid ones - but the ones that are hollow inside but kong-like rubber as a shell - the solid ones he dropped on my toe to try to get to play with him and nearly broke my foot doing it)!

thanks for the help i will try the airdogs.

aliasojo that is the look he gives me I have had to throw away his favourite sheep and dog in the last 2 weeks and he followed me to the bin and gave me his sad face.

Has he got anything like a Nylabone? My dog loves hers and it gives her something she can chew on for ages?

I did 1 which only lasted a few minutes, so I emailed kong and they sent me another 4 in the post free of charge

Also I dont leave the air balls with her, She plays with them in the garden and then I put them away.

Shes had an red rubber kong for 4 years now and its still going strong!

Pont

I used to tightly plait up strips of old curtain lining, soak them in water, then bung them in the freezer. My dog loved them and they lasted for ages (no real cost at all).
