Strong Puppy toys! PLEASE HELP?!?

Question

I have an almost 3month old puppy. (lab cocker x). She chews EVERYTHING! Like right through cords. My auntie suggested this duck that her dog had since she was a puppy and had lasted for a year and a half and my puppy had hers for a few weeks and it's destroyed. She loves bones (with no meat) but she chews them apart too

Any suggestions for strong toys that'll last a bit longer than 2 weeks?

Answer 1

Seems that your dog is going through the quite normal teething phase. If the dog starts, or has already started, chewing pieces of clothing, chair legs etc then give your dog an old shoe. It's an old trick but from experience I can say that it works fine. My dog went through the same phase and now he is a little older he has a couple of plastic balls which squeak when bitten. After two year of persistent playing the plastic balls are almost new.

Be patient, your dog will grow out of it eventually. Faster if you can spend more time outside with your dog.

Answer 2

Nyla-bone or a kong. If you go to speciality pet shops some of them sell toys made from recycled tires. They last forever! Also, about the bone chewing? Once you see the dog wearing it down, take it away. She may swallow some of the shards and puncture something inside...

Answer 3

Try to get anything rubber, no shoes bc that says its okay to chew on your personal shoes. She might like plastic bottles, rubber squeaky toys, tennis balls, and bigger bones that a way they will last longer. Being 3 months this should end in about a month.

MOST IMPORTANT: Do not let her chew cords, this is very dangerous and could let to death if she gets electrocuted. Be very careful of this and try to put all cords out of site. Try this by using cord ties(the plastic things that you put one end to the other ends hole and it goes click, click, click). Tie the cords to the table legs or anything out of site.

Answer 4

My dog is the same way.

You can try Kong's. They are fairly durable.

There are also these new "invinsible" toys which have a guarentee on them. If your dog breaks it, send it back and they will send you a new one.

I haven't tried them out, but can't hurt to try.

Also, have you tried dinosaur bones? My dog can chew a knuckle bone or huck down to a sliver in a week, but a dinosaur bone will last ages.

Answer 5

How bout a Kong ball. They are great. They are heavy duty rubber very thick (3/4 to 1inch thick) hollow on the inside with holes that you can put treats in. My dog is a pitbull mix and she loves it when I put peanut butter on the inside and then stuff it full of treats.

I've posted a link below.

Answer 6

BOOMER BALLS
NYLA-BONES
KONGS
RAWHIDES
A TUG ROPE
Puppy Tires, they come in different sizes, and work the best
Puppies should always be supervised while playing or chewing on their toys.
I raise Pitbulls, and the above mentioned toys last the longest in my house, mainly the puppy tires are the best.

<>Go to a hardware store and get a piece of very large sisal rope 3/4-1". Cut it into shorter pieces and tie knots in it. That'll keep him busy.
