West Paw's Zogoflex toys are awesome. Well, the Hurley and the Bumi are anyway. I didn't have much success with their other toys, but those two have been really good. They are by far the longest lasting toys in my house. Our oldest Hurley is nearly 4 years old already with hardly a dent, which is great considering how rough my dogs are on toys. Kongs can be good too, but they're not always all they're cracked up to be. We had great success with them for years until Ripley came along, and then destroyed every one we bought (the big black ones even). He likes to pick them apart from the bottoms and eventually that weakens the entire toy.
There are these new toys called 'Bionic' or something like that that are supposed to be very durable also. Haven't tried them yet, but I've heard good things.
Other than that, as far as chewing goes, I always have nylabones and antlers laying around my house. Even my puppies chewed on those. Bully sticks are good too and a much better alternative to rawhide. They don't last forever, but it does take young puppies a little bit to go through them. I also give raw bones to all of my dogs, including puppies, as that's a good way to keep them busy and occupied for a bit too.
Congrats on the new puppy, by the way! That's exciting.![]()
