Im sure this question has been gone over numerous times with first time puppy getter's, BUT...the 2 of my 3 LOVE LOVE LOVE to chew but play and play tug of war with whatever it is! cainan is more of a fetch kinda fella so no worried for him! I just cant find any toys that are sturdy enough for coco's teeth and soft enough for corona's little baby teeth! I have found that corona does like my boyfriends nieces toys...such as HARD plastic keys, they feel good on her teeth i think! but everything we get her, coco gets ahold of and chews to little bits...then later throws the little bits up! is there anything that can make both of them happy? thanks!

Kongs are industructable!!!

The red ones are not indestructible, not sure about the black ones, but I've never had a dog break a black kong. Tango's broken a few red kongs, all appropriately sized for her and one meant for large dogs. All were pretty much brand new too. Our one black kong lasted about 15 years before having to be thrown away with numerous dogs chewing on it, the oldest red one in our house lasted about 7 months. Not sure if that's common or not, but I know other people who have also had dogs break the red ones. Just thought I'd add that since a lot of people think dogs can't break kongs.

As far as tough toys go, the only toy that has stood up to all of my dogs is an Orbee ball. I've had it for a while and it still almost looks brand new. Winston has chomped on it lots and it's still all in one piece and just as sturdy as it was when I first bought it. I love Orbee toys.

Jenny uses her Kong minimum once a day, never missed a day all these years... Her's looks good as new still. Yea, if they're strong chewers I'd reccomnd a black one. (but lol they're probably even worse for price )

Honest to heavens I have one here from my last Rottie.........she passed in 03! It is still going strong with 2 dobies and a cocker using it! I swear by em! In the long run the price is worth it as you never replace them! I throw mine in the dishwasher every few days. I have the original ones (hollow to be filled with pastes or PB or crackers etc.) and a few of the newer toy type. I will scour around the net as sometimes you can find coupons for em. If I find any I will PM you with it.
