Yeah, I just get Finn a stuffy from Goodwill for a quarter every once in awhile. He's a madman with those things. He only has indestructable rubber toys to chew and play with.

Ginger doesn't like her kong, either. I tried filling it with peanut butter, and that worked twice, then she wasn't interested any more. I mention this because you were talking about the Nylabones and Booda bones. Ginger used to like rope toys (not so much any more) and chew chews, but I think she liked the texture of those things. I know that all dogs are different, but I just thought that if Roscoe and Ginger's chewing preferences are the same, I would let you know that she was not interested in the Nylabones at all, but did like the Booda Bones (I think they have more flavors, and she liked the ones with the little nibs on them). Good luck. How old is Roscoe?

See, the last "indestructible" toy we got Lexi, she loved! But, I gave her 5 days, she cleared me, by finishing off the toy in 2!!!!

Finn's huge and hasn't destroyed his kongs! What indestructable toy did your little girl destroy? I don't ever believe that label of indestructable. Kongs are about the only thing he can't kill. I did get him a fire hydrant at walmart once that seems to be the same material, and, he's yet to kill it.

Thank you! Sounds like Roscoe and Ginger may have the same preferences...he loves to chew on rope toys. He has shred a few so I think it's the texture of them that he likes. He is 3 1/2, and we've had him for about 2 months.

Some dogs just don't like them (like Niño) no matter what I put in there he doesn't want it.

I think mentioned this in another post but I will post it here as well. Make it very easy for Roscoe to get the treats out at first. Smear some peanut butter on the outside near the hole and then put some on the inside as well. Use treats that are small enough to just fall out for the first few days. Make it harder gradually. If he loves food, he will learn to love the Kong.
Good luck,
Gina

Smokey loves his Kongs w/ or w/out treats in them
But man, when there in peanut butter in there he'll sit there and make out with it for a looong time.
