Long lasting dog chews?

well i tried a new trick of putting a treat in the kong. Takes her a while to get it out, but once she does, its back to ignoring it.
 
BIL had a lab once that chewed through a freakin' cinderblock.
That's when it became clear that dog needed more attention.
 
Nylabones rock!!! Gotta get the hard plastic Durachew or Galileo style though. The softer rubbery ones are in pieces in minutes but, the hard plastics last a good month. All three dogs love 'em!!! We've got a pitbull and two dachshunds, all 3 love the Nylabones!!! (funny to watch the little dogs try to chew the big bones and the big dog chew the little bones, LOL! Finally gave up and just bought the same size for all 3 dogs!) Chicken flavor seems to be their favorite!

Kongs are good too BUT, make sure you supervise a big dog with one, ours will focus on just one point of the Kong and chew through it quick if ya don't pay attention!

Tennis balls are only good for fetching with the big dog, if we let her chew one she'll be swallowing chunks of it in under a minute (even with the supposedly beefier tennis balls that they market specifically for dog use).
 
Our boy is lab/hound mix... he can split a tennis ball in half in less than 5 minutes, faster if he can get the fuzz peeled off first. I let him carry one around, however, when I walk the two of them by myself because it makes a great pacifier! He gets anxious and excited and will whine and bark and pull... but the ball really calms him down. Major plus when I'm already hauling around my 9-months-pregnant self! Since I figured out this 'trick', it seems to take him about 2 weeks worth of lunch-time walks to actually split one.
 
Google Himalayan dog chew, took my Pit/Lab mix 2 days to finish it and she can destroy a "Busy Bone" in 10 min. The local high-end dog shop in Foscoe up here carries them.
 
Wife gave Indy the Border Collie/Chow mix a DentaStix last night....Don't think they work so well when swallowed whole :lol:
 
Nylabone...looks like this one, but his is red.....

I'm gonna bring this one back. I've got 2 large breed dogs. One is a Newfie/lab mix (18 months, 95lbs) and the other is an English Mastiff/Great Dane mix (7 months 90lbs). They're both getting to the size where they need more padding. I'm primarily looking for something in the porters/cages. I've bought several pads in the past, but they will chew the hell out of them. They don't chew anything else, except for the pads in their porter. Does anyone have a solution to this and/or a 'chew proof' pad????
 
It's a little expensive, but Orvis (the overpriced outdoors store) sells a chew resistant Cordura material bed. Keep your reciept and they will replace it or refund your money if a dog chews it, no questions asked. They also sell just a pad made of the same material for a crate.

I've had good luck just using an old blanket for padding in our youngest pups crate (Australian Shepherd), he ripped my older dog's bed open, but he will get in with this blanket, tug it around a little to make himself a bed and lay down. I think it helped as well that it had our scent on it from being on our couch for so long that it made him feel comfortable and he doesn't feel the need to destroy it. Even if he did, there is no stuffing to throw everywhere.
 
Well I do not have a large dog ( I have a westie that is all of 14 lbs) but I have a problem with her tearing every toy up. we buy any kind of hard rubber toy for her to chew on, and the sqeekers out of rubber is her fav. we leave nylon bones out at night for her to play with
 
They have a bone on line somwhere that is "guaranteed " for dogs not no be able to destroy. Exept a pit! That's the only dog I think they don't guarantee it for. My friend has a pit & missed the fine print on that 1 but I think it still took her bout a mounth to chew it up! Lol I will try to get the website or atleast the name of the bone for y'all. I have a lab & he just chews sticks & very few raw hides. Just b/c my parents have a husky & he wouldn't move or eat for like a week after swallowing 1 after he had chewed most of it up not to menchen his stomach was hard as a rock for a couple days where the raw hide had swelled. But ill try to find out bout that $ back bone for ya.
 
Sarge likes his plastic watering can, heavy duty plastic dust pan, and hw especially loves his broom. Other chew toys include the plastic 7-way plug on my trailer, and any packages the UPS man drops off. Rawhides dont last long, he has one big bone I bought he liked when it had some taste on it, he still chews on it occasionally. He is honestly not a bad chewer, almost 6 months @ 67 lbs, already has his adult teeth- didn't chew alot when teething either.
 
Tractor Supply has pig femurs for $1.99 each - lasts our full grown Pyrenees about a day or so.
 
We have this in our house.

Don't let the cutsieness fool ya. That is a DEMON.
He's a bit bigger now ..... 20 lbs. full grown .... but he will destroy the "guaranteed chew-proof" toys in an hour.
The company didn't believe, so they asked for a pic of him and the toy, then sent us a new one ..... it was damaged w/in 15 minutes!
The only thing we have found that lasts is the big ,flat, red rubber MilkBone toy that you're supposed to put a treat in. We don't bother with the treat.
It is his favorite toy.
His other favorite ... any empty 2 liter drink bottle.
He's a Puggle btw, 1/2 Pug, 1/2 Beagle. Useless little demonic lap dog.
And my little buddy.
