BATTLE GERBIL!

 

Killian has had one since he was a wee 8-week old pup. Now we've got two corgis gnawing on it and it's still with us.

have you tried Kong brand toys? They have some stuffed toys and balls that make noise that are pretty durable. I go to the dollar tree store and  just buy a bunch of toys and let franklin shred them one by one :-)

Fat Cat inc. makes a great canvas sqeak toy. My corgis love the one that looks like a mailman, they shake and pull on it and have a very hard time de-fluffing or removing the squeaker.

Kong makes a series called Air Kong. They look like they are covered with tennis ball material and squeak. Between the corgis and the doberman those toys last the longest in my house.

I agree with the kongs or if you can find other rubber toys...they are much harder to chew up. I also use rubber toys by jw and they last plus have sqeekers!

Check out Tuffy's Toys on https://www.vipproducts.com...not all have squeakers. But they're all tough. :)

Maddie can get through a Kong Extreme in about half an hour.

 

Just sayin'.   :)

 

My finding is that there is no toy that a dog's jaws can't ruin IF the dog wants to ruin it.  Jack never tried to destroy rubber, so I thought I had several "indestructible" rubber toys.  Then Maddie, after over a year, decided that chewing rubber toys to bits was fun and now rubber toys don't last.  The exception would be smooth rubber balls with no spot to get a tooth in.

 

If your dog is really destructive, you may find you need to keep some toys for interactive play time only, and put them away.  Then give her semi-edible chews to appease her desire to chew.
