If you have a tough chewer as a dog, you also know how difficult it is to find the right kind of toy that can actually survive a day without your dog tearing it to shreds! Many toys we found either from Pet Smart or Target would be torn to shreds even though they claimed to be crafted for tough chewers. I quickly learned what kinds of items to stay away from because our dog Thor is a beast when it comes to his toys.

The better I understood what Thor liked in general, the better I became learning the toys he might be interested in playing with. Firstly, Thor is a 70 lb. dog that loves to tug, rough house and play fetch for days. I knew I had to stay away from any toy that had plush stuffing because that could be easily torn and string items that could be pulled with his teeth. He loves to go after any round ball and especially if it squeaks! (That is his weakness). The toys that I figured that could be long lasting, durable and easily be cleaned if we brought it indoors or outdoors is the Chuckit line.

The Chuckit line has ultra rubber bouncy balls that are made to last! They can be easily thrown and easy to wipe clean from dirt, water or slobber. They are brightly colored and extra thick in the rubber quality that can also float which makes a nice toy to play with your dog in the water. They can be accessible online or any pet store like Pet Smart or Petco.

These have become a hands down favorite from Thor and are reasonably priced which make purchasing them affordable. These have lasted many, many months for Thor and he is thrilled to play with every time we give it to him!

It is all about finding out what works best for your dog and what works well with their playing needs. By doing so, you’ll be able to narrow down products they will love and enjoy. There will be many trials and errors made through this process, but it will be worth it when you find the perfect toys for your dog!

Good luck, Chelsea
