Toys/entertainment for tough chewers and toy destroyers

[poiuytrewq]

Recommendations please?
Soft toy type things are a no go, Rope toys are loved but get everywhere and bung my hoover up!

Benebone and Bamboodles- particularly the T shape ones are top toys in our house but I'd like to get some different things as with 4 they all seem to like the same thing! Spud also had a hard heavy rubber owl which is his and the only toy he's ever kept long term! no idea where i got that from though.
Berties current favorite is my slipper (new ones have been ordered!) and a tea towel with knots in- great to play tug. Cecil has a weird little jelly ball thing which looks like it should have been killed within seconds but he's had since a puppy and treasures!

I want things that will last longer than 10 minutes, without spending an absolute fortune but 3 out of the 4 are keen chewers and love to lie and just chomp on something.

Antlers and coffee wood sticks go down well here.

As do buffalo horns. We have to be careful with soft toy type things because one of our labs will swallow anything and everything. The Rootweilers had Kong Wubba toys (look like 4 legged octopus) that lasted about 4 years. The Labs want to take the ball out of the middle and so chew the robust fabric.

We are a primarily Benebone and Bamboodle house too, can’t do soft toys, rope or soft rubber. Current favourite is the Bamboodle fish shaped chew. Petface Duo-Chew bones have a similar texture and are a lot cheaper. Kong Corestrength Bamboo are similar too.

Best tough chompy thing is a Chuckit Ultra ball, followed by the Kong Squeezz crackle ball, and small dog has a bizarre fondness for the Twistz ring which has survived for a long time.

I'm quite a fan of Iokheira, Mumba and Kong toys

Also like these dental chews they seem to last and my dogs really enjoy them. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32916426376.html?src=bing&albslr=228566114&isdl=y

JR Pet Products large ostrich bone. It has a honeycomb texture so doesn't splinter and big enough to last a long time. I also have a huge rope toy from Amazon that surprisingly has not been shredded yet and have had for a number of weeks now. Was about a tenner!

Great thank you! Lots of ideas to look at.
We do have a bit of coffee wood but it’s a chunk rather than a stick shape and no one’s really interested but I think it’s a bit awkward to chew.
More recently got a olive wood sausage shape
Which has been a hit.
Antlers are so expensive! I bought a few and they disappeared, as in are outside somewhere.
I met Bertie on his way out the back door with my keys they other day new house rule, keys hang up!
Will do a bit of Googling at all
Suggestions tomorrow!

I don’t do rawhide as apart from it now, not being recommended to give dogs, years ago before knowing it wasn’t great I gave it to Spud and he was sicker than sick. Never again!

Our fish is tail and finless now! Have you seen the new “tripe” one looks disgusting!
I told a neighbour about them and she messaged to say thank you it had gone down well, she bought the turd shape one

With antlers you do have to be careful because they can be hard and can easily injure a tooth. The coffee sticks are alright, but messy (little pieces of wood everywhere) so mine only get them outside.

Kong, A Fenrir Hammer, and Benebone seem to be alright here. I have some other bone that's good, but I don't know the brand so I'd have to look back though my Amazon purchases.

The Lab is good a chewer, and the Cane Corso is just on a whole 'nother level so needs durable chews.

I will say that we have ropes and an assortment of plush toys that they oddly don't destroy. They like laying with them and/or carrying them around.

I am definitely going to confuse that for a turd on the carpet one bleary early morning.

Mine all like those yakker chews and they last absolutely ages. Plus whe they get small, you can pop them in the microwave for 60 seconds and they blow up like a big popcorn.

That was a revelation, I only discovered that recently.
Only one likes Yaks here. But they do last well.
He kept loosing them and I realised Basil was stealing them and had buried a few in the cat litter tray luckily they don’t use it much but it’s now behind a stair gate!

 

[islander]

My two small dogs here make the Yaks last but Lab and medium dog (big pug) just crunch them up and eat them. The Lab has a delicate digestion so is rather loose the next day.

 

[CanteringCarrot]

Yeah, the Yaks don't last very long for us, but were worth a try.
