If you\u2019re like Annette, you\u2019re not alone! And, of course we wanted to offer some help. Our dogs enjoy a chew like many others, but they\u2019re not the biggest and strongest of dog breeds, so we thought to bring you the best recommendations for tough toys we\u2019d ask the incredibly sharing and helpful Puppy Tales community<\/a>! From their many responses we\u2019ve compiled the list of the top tough toys for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kong toys are amazing. Have had the same one for 12 years with my now passed boy and another 2 years with my current boy. Absolutely indestructible. ~Gayle<\/p>\n\n\n\n The by-far most popular recommendation for tough toys is the Kong<\/a> range. The Extreme Kong\u2019s made from Black Ultra-Flex are the toughest but there\u2019s also have a wide range of rubber built-to-chew toys – for puppies, seniors, dental, for use with treats and interactive – all in a variety of sizes and shapes so you should be able to find just the right one for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A hard thick plastic dental bone my golden retriever can’t get anything off it and he tries everyday and has been for the last 4-5 months ~ Christina<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nylabone<\/a> has a large range of different tough toys for powerful chewers. There\u2019s a large offering of different designs and features, including some that are chicken, bacon and peanut butter flavoured! Many of the designs are said to have other benefits for your dog – for example, the Daily Dental products provides dental stimulation, massages gums and reduces tartar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Made from Zogoflex material (nope, we\u2019re entirely sure what that is but it does sound fitting!) the West Paw Design<\/a> range is designed to be tough yet being pliable and bendy so they are gentle on your dogs teeth. They bounce and float which gives them additional usage, including at the beach or your dogs local swimming destination. They can also be stuffed with treats! These toys come with single free replacement, should your dog find a way to destroy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GoughNuts<\/a> uses a tough and durable rubber. A great feature of the GoughNuts chew toys is their safety indicator – there\u2019s an inner red layer – and when you can see this it\u2019s time to take the toy from your dog. These toys also have a guarantee – if you see this safety indicator, they will replace the toy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dogs loves to play with balls, but not all are made to withstand a strong jawed dog. The next few balls though are different – they\u2019re balls designed to be tough for determined chewers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bionic Ball<\/a> might just be the tough ball that you\u2019re looking for. Sized the same as a tennis ball and made from Bionic Rubber (and there\u2019s an explanation on the site as to what this is!), it\u2019s features include both a normal and unpredictable bounce, that it fits within chucking toys, can be stuffed with treats or peanut butter and it floats. They offer a free one time replacement guarantee, however you need to send the product into California in the United States which may not be practical for those living outside the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our German shepherd and lab mixes and they can destroy anything! The refill pack of chuck-it balls does well as long as used during play time and not as a chew toy. ~Amanda<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chuck it balls<\/a> are another tough balls that your dog can play fetch with! They are a hallow ball made from a natural high bounce rubber – they\u2019re waterproof, buoyant, easy to clean, durable, light and important, tough! Used with the Chuck it Launcher, these are a favourite of ours also with our Border Collie Rosie – she\u2019s needs to run and needs rather tough toys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boomer balls . Just do not kick – it hurts. My rotties have had a large one for four years still going strong. ~Sue<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boomer Balls<\/a> are ultra-tough polymer balls that are reportedly virtually indestructible. They are designed for larger-than-life dogs that love chase, chew and conquer their toys. These balls are not designed to be picked up by your so they should be a size larger than your dog can fit in their mouth, pick up or carry. The balls range in size from 4.5 inches for small framed dogs to 20 inches for large dogs. They even come in 30 inches for wild animals like lions, polar bears and elephants (for enrichment in zoos and wildlife centres)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Megablast Ball<\/a> is made from thermo plastic rubber and infused with vanilla extract. It\u2019s mega-durable, mega-bouncy and can float! The balls can be filled with treats, come in three sizes and three colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our last recommended tough toy is the Stuffing Free Gator<\/a> dog toy. While not promoted as indestructible, this is a \u2018tough\u2019 soft toy. Being stuffing free its safer and less messy if your dog does penetrate the outer lining. It comes with two different sounding squeakers which many dogs will find irresistible! These squeakers keep their form even after they are punctured. And its long shape makes it perfect for your dog to carry about and toss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A little note – many of these tough toys come with replacement guarantees – however we can\u2019t verify which countries these are available in. We\u2019ve included the guarantees in this article as we believe it speaks to the quality of the product. If the replacement guarantee is important in your purchase decision, we recommend you check the conditions offered at your place of purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All dogs are different – what might be a tough and indestructible for one dog, may not be chew proof for another. We’ve put together some tips to help you get the most from your tough toys with your dogs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Got a tough chomper in your home? We\u2019re frequently asked to recommend tough toys for the dogs of yours who like to chew and destroy!
