There’s no way around it – some dogs just love to shred whatever plaything they can get their teeth on. There’s no worse feeling than finding out that new toy I got at Petsmart has been demolished a couple weeks later (much to the chagrin of my wallet!).
Alas, in comes the durable dog toys. While even the toughest of toys aren’t 100% guaranteed to withstand the test of time, there are plenty of options that dogs can’t sink their teeth into that easily. The following toys are some of the tried and true options amongst pet parents of aggressive chewers…
1. KONG Duck Dog Toy – I love this cute little guy 
No messy filling and high quality plush material make this a great option for small-ish dogs that love squeaker toys.
2. Nylabone Just For Puppies Chew Toy – For pups going through that teething phase this should satisfy that craving just fine. This one does double-duty as the bristles will help clean teeth and prevent tartar buildup. Not a bad deal.
3. Nylabone Dental Chew Bone - Another option from Nylabone with a softer, flexible feel for moderate chewers and small dogs.
4. KONG Pudge Braidz Pig Dog Toy, Medium/Large – Again, another contender in the oh-so-cute crowd.
5. Kong Medium Puppy Toy - You can’t go wrong with Kong! These super tough toys are always a great choice and a market leader in heavy-duty options. Soothe a puppies urge to chew with the original stuffed with peanut butter and frozen for a few hours. A delicious treat!
6. JW Pet Dogs iN Action – A unique spiral design toy suitable for tugging and chewing. Here’s the version for larger dogs that want to get in on the fun too!
7. Kyjen Octopus – Your pup will be shakin’ and flappin’ these multi-leg creatures. They’re affordable so if the squeaker ever needs replaced it’s not a big hit in the wallet. Along of dogs love to just hear the unique sound of these though so will hold off chewing.
8. Kyjen Hide-A-Squirrel – It’s cute watching the pups trying to retrieve the squirrels in this Kyjen classic. Perfect for dogs that love this general type of play (stuffed things, digging, hide and seek).
