Corgis are destructive chewers, aren't they? Any recommendations on indestructible rawhides/toys?
Kyoshi never ceases to amaze me with his chewing. It used to take him a few days to a week to finish a rawhide. Now, he can finish one in 30-40 min, tops!
We buy him toys(tennis balls, squeaky toys, etc) and in a matter of minutes he can get it taken away from him because he's tore a hole in it and its not safe for him to play with anymore.
He's also managed to chew up his bed in his crate and we've let him sleep without it on a few nights to send him a msg that chewing his bed is not what good pups do.
So any recommendations on toys or rawhides or bones that will last more than a week? We bought this cool Orbee tough ball that seems to be holding up to his biting so far, and I have bought *bigger* rawhides that he can barely get his mouth around. Hopefully that will keep him busy for more than a few days.

i buy toys for big dogs...like the tires on the end of ropes and big bones, she has yet to break one but still loves playing with them, when i buy normal dog toys they rip/tear/break so easy.

Kong products are good, and Nylabone makes some products for tough chewers (don't get the edible ones)

All I can say is good luck. Chase is our big chewer and we have not yet found a toy that he cannot totally destroy. If we give Chase a new toy, he doesn't really play with it. He will stare at it, analyze it for weaknesses and then deconstruct it in a matter of minutes. The whole process will usually take less than 10 minutes. It's really fascinating to watch and he's so proud when finished.
Kong toys last the longest, but Chase will eventually chew the top off of the as well.
Since we know it's going to happen anyway, we only buy inexpensive toys.

Have had great success with the Waggle by Busy Buddy....you put treats on each end and they try to get them out.
What about the Kong you can stuff treats in as well....they make different sizes and different colors for the strength of the Kong... I believe the red or black is the strongest.
The only other toys we have had sucess with are balls from Planetdog.com. We have a baseball....football....(the football (we had to take off the white markings) so he could not chew it off, other than that it is great They have a chewometer rating so you know which toys are the strongest. I usually get the ones that are 5 out of 5 chew rating. I tried the dice which I thought he could not chew, it was 4 out of 5 and he found a way to chew it, darn it was so cute! We do have a Buddy Ball, glow in the dark from petsmart too!
We have a very harsh chewer as well with a sensitive stomach so we need to stay away from bones. I feel your pain but Lance is very happy with his planet dog toys and Waggle! Good Luck.

I have had no luck with both my Corgis...they do not chew furniture nor are they destructuve but there is no toy they cannot rip apart. Problem is they really do not like toys except for the occasional ball...they really only like rawhide....I've tried many many toys...no luck. They too go through a rawhide chip in < 1 hour...i always need to take it away from them at that point because it is too small. Problem is the more they chew the more thay want...I gave them a giant rawhide for big dogs and they had it in half in a couple of hours....both taking turns on it. One thing that does last are the Merrick bones (http://www.merrickpetcare.com/store/dog_treats_bones.php)....after they chew the flavor off I rinse it out and put some kibble and pneanut butter in it...they then like to try to lick indie to get that out and use the bone to chew on.

I have the same problem! Grover loves soft, squeeky toys, but he tears a hole in them usually the same day I buy them! He will find the one area of weakness in the stitching and just go to town on it! It sucks! Those toys really aren't cheap when you go through one a week!!
For Grover's bed, I put a fleece blanket in there. He destroyed two beds so this was the solution we came up with. The blanket is a small throw, with a fringe on the sides. My friend made it for me a couple of X-mas' ago but it works so well for him that I had to give it up. He can chew on it till his hearts content without doing too much damage and it provides him a nice, comfortable place to sleep.
I've seen these squeeky toys made from fire hose that are suppose to be indistructable. Anyone tried those? There kind of expensive, so I wasn't sure if they'd be worth the money.

maybe you could try the actual bones that are smoked? I have seen some GINORMOUS ones at petco. i am pretty sure that would last him at least a little while.

ORKA JACK
Bunni loves this jack toy by orka. she's bit thru it once but we end up buying it over and over again cuz it's one of the few things that's lasted. you could fill it with treats and they paw and nose at it trying to get the treat out. very cute. Bunni will even get clever and toss it down the stairwell so treats fall out...

GOOD BAD CUZ
Once we silence the "squeaky" part with some small bits of wet tissue, she tears the legs off and carries this around and chews on it when she gets frustrated with life.
