I was wondering what squeeky toys can hold up the best to strong chewers.
I already know all about buying spare squeekies but Kaige chews them out so fast (as well as the stuffing but leaves the actual outer of the toy in one piece) that I can't keep up.
I thought the cuz would be durable but I read reviews on it & I guess I was wrong.
The cuz has been the most durable for Finn, so far. But, even that didn't last long. I just buy super cheap ones, now, and, let him have it supervised until he destroys it. Then, I toss the pieces. ;) If anyone can find a squeaky, durable toy, I'll buy it!
If I could get my hands on a sewing machine i'd be able to make some. I have so material that a toy was made out of YEARS ago, when we first got Simba, and it's lived with every dog that's come in and out of our house.
I'll see if i'll be able to make some then send some your way. :)
I don't know what this thing is called or who made it, but I bought it at walmart. It looks like a kitty toy and sounds like a kitty toy, it has a jingle bell inside it, BUT its *KONG* strong and big. the spotties love it, especially jillian. she likes cat toys.

Well, we got Bijou the Dino Cuz because she adores squeakers and I thought it might last...it wasn't a half hour before the feet were chewed off and half the dino spikes! But since that time, she's left the remaining spikes alone and loves-loves-loves to chomp on it and make it squeak! It's one of her favorites. So though it doesn't quite look like a Dino Cuz anymore, it still brings tons of joy to my pupper. I'm always on the lookout for a stronger squeaker for my champion chewer!
WHAT IS A DINO CUZ? COULD YOU POST A PICTURE OF IT PLEASE? CHICA IS AN AVID CHEWER OF TOYS. I HAVE TO GIVE HER TOYS SHE CAN'T CHEW UP. :D

I've only ever seen the green one -- I'd like a larger one if I could get it!
oh, that good to know those don't get chewed up, i saw them at petsmart and my dog size are really expensive, but they make a great noise! I didn't see the dino i just saw it in a ball shape with hair on top
okay, brock has never been a destroyer, hes only ripped I think 2, MAYBE 3 stuffies by himself. but now I have a pit bull and its a whole other story!! toys I *thought* were strong, she destories in one bite. lol brock is a big time chewer, but nothing compared to alki.
Ive never had a cuz but Ive heard from some pit people that they are pretty durable. as for me, I go with PLANET DOG, or KONG brand, esp their tennis ball material toys. alki loves her planet dog ringo and orbee ball. we also have a nut and bolt toy, and an orbee bone. and! all their toys smell like MINT! xD and of course I give both dogs lots of bones to chew on, and compressed rawhide last pretty long too, even for alki.
with a pit bull you cant expect anything to be indestructable, but you can expect these 2 brands to at least last a while. lol alki hasnt yet destroyed a kong or planet dog toy, but Ive seen some pits who have.
EDIT: Ive also heard good things about Ruff Wear, Bamboo, and Ruff Dog brands.
heres a site that sells all the brands Ive mentioned. it also has TONS of cute doggy stuff, treats, clothes, collars, etc etc etc; TRIXIE & PEANUT just go to "toys + treats" and click on "bouncy + tough"!
I found some awesome squeeky toys with lifetime warranty & guarantee against dog destruction at the dog show Sat so I picked up a few of them. $8 each but if they last or if the company replaces them like they should it is well worth it.
It's made out of the bullet proof material (kevlar I think). I can't remember the name of them & just searched online for an hour trying to find it & I can't, I'll look when I get home.

I remembered to put the tag in my purse that night but kept forgetting to post about it on here for over a week. lol
Anyways there are 2 brands:
Vo-toys made by VIP
and
Tuffies
When I was at the store last weekend there were squeaky toys made out of fire hose material...I really don't remember the brand but they seemed very durable.
These are made out of that type of material too, or at least it looks & feels like it I don't know if it is for sure or not.Quote:

The Vo-toys that I have have kevlar in them which is what bullet proof vests are made out of.
I have one of these, called katie's bumpers. I got mine at a local pet store but have seen them online at twobostons.com.Quote:

also, on the note of pet toys, if you guys have never been to petedge.com, you gotta check it out! they have CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP stuff!! I just bought a bunch of stuffies for under a dollar because alki destroys them so quickly! lol also got some kong toys and rawhides and a bunch of random crap for super cheap. :)
Hey! Fenway loves his Cuz ball but I've never seen a Dino Cuz before! I'm going to have to check that one out! He'd love a Dino Cuz! He'd think it was Dino-Mite! (I just couldn't resist).
But seriously, thanks for the info.
