Hey everyone, desperate dog owner here! My 2-year-old German Shepherd mix destroys every toy I buy him within minutes. I've tried rubber toys, rope toys, plush toys with 'indestructible' labels - he shreds them all. I'm worried he'll swallow pieces or get bored. Anyone found toys that actually survive more than a day? Budget isn't really an issue if it lasts!

lol welcome to the destructive pet club! My bearded dragon doesn't chew toys, but I've had snakes that wreck their hides. For dogs, have you tried those black Kong toys? My friend's pitbull has one that's lasted months. Also, maybe try a large antler or buffalo horn - my reptile supplier carries them, they're natural and tough. Just watch for splintering.

Ugh, dogs are so destructive! My cats are fussy but at least they don't demolish things. My sister's lab has a GoughNuts toy - it's guaranteed, if your dog chews through the outer layer (it's red inside), they replace it free. Also, try freezing a Kong with peanut butter inside to keep him busy longer. But honestly, maybe train 'drop it' commands instead of just tougher toys?

Off-topic but my oscar fish destroys aquarium plants like it's his job! For dogs, I've heard good things about West Paw Zogoflex toys - they're recyclable and my aquarium club friend's border collie hasn't broken one yet. Also, consider a flirt pole for exercise to tire him out first. Less energy = less destruction maybe?
