Dog toys that last

When we first got Frederick we tried ever toy imaginable. We tried the stuffing free toys, they lasted on average about a day, we tried squeaky toys, which he loved but also destroyed, tennis balls, ropes, and even the "durable" toys made out of tires or something but nothing lasted.

Here is what we have found that does last and is worth spending money on.

Rawhide rolls, Frederick LOVES them. I have read a lot about the dangers of rawhide and therefore I ONLY give them to him when I can watch him to make sure he doesn't choke. We have never had any problems though and he loves them.

Chuck it balls are probably Frederick's favorite toy. He loves to play fetch with them and chew them. They don't fall apart but they are hollow so when he squeezes them they make a noise when all the air comes out. He LOVES that noise he will sit there just squishing them over and over again for a good 20 mins. He has also learned how to play with himself with them. We have hard floors so he will drop the ball and as it bounces away he will pounce on it. Its pretty adorable.

He falls asleep with his chuck it almost every night. We have tried both the medium and the large sizes. I think the large ones work better. 

Nylabone Galileo bone is another that has lasted for awhile. Frederick only chews on it for about 10 - 15 minutes at a time but it has been great for when he is bored. 

Kong classic toys are next. Put some all natural peanut butter in them or some of the treats that Kong makes and it can entertain him for close to an hour. This is one of the toys that have lasted since we brought him home. When I break out the peanut butter jar and his Kong he goes crazy!

I hope this helps some of you out there. Especially those with new puppies. Pit Bulls are definitely chewers but these can help with teaching them what items are OK to chew. 

**UPDATE** The day after this blog was posted Frederick did this to his Kong toy

It did last a long time though and to be fair I think there was some peanut butter in there he couldn't get to. I was still upset though because it happened RIGHT after I posted this blog saying they lasted. I guess nothing is indestructible though right?
