My puppy has destroyed all her toys within a few months. I was wondering which are the best toys to get her that she can't destroy from Ed's website. One example of her chewing up a toy is the Bad Cuz toy, which she already started to nibble off it's foot. So her toys will have to be more durable than that. Thanks guys.
I have a 3 yr old Golden Ret. and now my second GSD who is 13 wks old. I have had good luck with all of the Kong products that I have gotten. I have a full size one that i can put peanut butter in to keep my puppy busy plus one that is shaped like a football that he just loves to chase around. (good thing he likes football bcs his name is Coach). The Kong toys are all well made and hold up very well to teething puppies and aggressive dogs. Good luck in your search for the right toys for you girl.
I don't leave my dogs alone with the cuz since it is a "special" reward, and I figured it was not designed to avoid destruction, BUT I did amputate the little legs.
I would really like to just find a BALL like the cuz with no appendages.
It seems in my house about any hard solid rubber (like Kong or some of the cressite stuff) or nylon toy (like nylabone) is pretty safe -- mainly I only leave them with stuff to chew on, not toys.

Just a word of caution, my female GSD loved the Kongs filled with peanut butter when she was a puppy. However, as an adult she completely destroyed 2 Kongs. I guess it was a faster way to get the peanut butter. She very rarely gets them now and only with supervision.
Mary, did you use the black kongs or the red ones? My dogs can easily destroy the red ones, but the black ones last forever as long as they have not been sitting outside in the elements. Kongs and Nylabones (not the edible ones) are the only things I leave without supervision.
Just remember if you have a puppy under nine months you need the puppy kongs.
I wish there were more quality dog toys as 90% of what you find at pet stores are total junk. With a multi-billion dollar pet business in this nation you'd think more folks would follow kong's lead.

I have found Black Kongs to be quite durable. They can be frozen. I have also poured a little hot, melted cheese inside. I was in a hurry once and microwaved the Kong with cheese in it. It didn't seem to affect it and it finally died a natural death. I have found that Galileo bones also stand up to serious chewing.

Why is this? I have always used the regular black kongs (the medium ones, not the big giant ones) and never had any problems <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
just last night gabbs ate 1/2 a blk large kong. i was shocked. luckily she hasn't puked so im waiting patiently to make sure it comes out.
(she's 9 months) no more unattended kongs for her. i used to fill them with treats peanut butter etc. and shove a nyla bone in it and leave it w/her in the crate while i was gone. any new suggestions to occupy her time?
ps - i am wondering if freezing it had anything to do w/her being able to chew it up.
