Puppies are like human babies in a lot of ways.
They chew as a way of learning about the environment around them and it feels good on teething gums.
With dogs, there are other factors at play including the taste, texture, and boredom-lifting qualities he/she can get from a really good toy.
If you have a heavy or aggressive chewer, you know that it can be difficult to find safe, non-toxic, top-quality toys for your four legged-family members.
Not to mention, it can be expensive to replace toys your strong chewers destroy in minutes.
If you’re tired of buying poorly made toys, or toys with toxic or un-natural ingredients, here are 37 toys your extreme chewers (and your wallet) will appreciate.
TIP: When going through the toy suggestions below, keep in mind that not all toys are equal.
The appropriate toy for your dog will depend on your dog’s size, age, jaw strength, etc. Even “indestructible” toys can be broken by determined dogs.
Be sure to replace broken toys to avoid a choking hazard.
