No toy can withstand my dogs teeth!!?

My six month bichon/pom puppy has really small thin but SHARP teeth. Any plush toy we get him is teared up in less than an hour. We got him a "battle tested" toy and it was gone within a day - fluff leaking out.


He bites the corners and has a techniqe that pulls it apart





We have tried gettting him rubber toys, he doesn't care for the really hard ones and hes scared of the ones that squeak loudly.


Is this normal for him to tear it up? What can we get that he wont tear up!

There are some great suggestions in this thread for good, effective chewy toys. I wouldn't suggest rawhide as sometimes dogs can end up swallowing sharp edges that they haven't chewed down.





I'd suggest the Kongs, Nylabones (the rubbery ones), Cuz (the rubber balls that have feet) and even cotton blend rope. My dog is an agressive chewer and all of these things last a while.





While the fluffy toys may be cute, agressive chewers go through those like they are cotton candy. Even the nylon toys with stuffing that say "battle tested" don't seem to last with an agressive chewer like your dog. Stick to rubbery things. That's your best bet.





Examples:


Cuz toys: http://www.shop.com/Pet+Supplies-a-Cuz+D...





Kong (you won't need the extreme. The regular ones should be fine) http://www.shop.com/Pet+Supplies-a-kong+...





Nylabone (I'd recommend the "flexible chews" or "dental chews") http://www.nylabone.com/products/non-edi...





Rope chews (look for cotton blends. They are mixed with polyester and last longer than 100% cotton rope) http://www.petco.com/product/7995/Booda-...


Good luck!
Reply:My dogs love nylabones. I have the exact same problem as you, just bigger dogs. Nylabones last a long time.
Reply:Try Orbee Toys from Planet Dog... if my big chewers cannot destroy them then you are golden! You can also try Puppy Kongs and Puppy Strengh Nylabones. Good luck!





P.S. Remember... no rawhides!!





ADD: Nylabones can be found at pet supply stores. They are indestructable making them a very safe choice! For more information: http://www.nylabone.com/products/non-edi...
Reply:Try a Kong. Any of the Kong toys are really tough.

Reply:Get him a rawhide bone...depending on the size it can take him weeks to chew it up!

BLACK KONG





i have a mini dachshund, and he has jaws like a Rotti. he DESTROYS all cute fluffy and normal toys. so far, he has only gone through 3 or 4 black Kongs (we get him new ones when he starts shredding the end). they are excellent. NO RAWHIDES. ours got pancreatis.
Reply:My dog is similar. We got him a firehose toy -- it's tough, but he's not as fond of it as his stuffies. I'd recommend only giving him a stuffed toy when you can watch him with it, and replacing it as soon as he rips it open. You can get used stuffed toys/dolls at yard sales.
Reply:That is exactly how my minature schnuazer is, he tears up anything we give him, we got him some rubber toys and they have been able to with stand him quite a while.


We also get him baby toys like the balls, because some of those are harder for him to tear up.
