So I’ve been on this endless loop of buying toys that my dog just shreds in minutes lol. He’s got serious chew energy and I’m tired of wasting money. I was looking into some options for 2024 and found a few that claim to be super durable. Anyone else got a chewer like this? I saw stuff like the Kong Classic, some bacon-flavored bones, and even a wooden stick toy. Curious if y’all have tried any of these and if they actually last?
Kong Classic is a must-have fr. My lab’s had his for almost a year now and it’s still going strong

Wait, is that the one with the treat space inside?

Yeah! You can stuff it with peanut butter or treats and it keeps them busy for hours lol
I tried that Triceratops plush toy… my dog usually tears plushies apart in seconds but this one actually held up

Seriously? My pup LOVES plushies but I stopped buying them cuz of the mess. Worth trying again?
@Hayden
Yeah it’s got double-stitched seams and a tough inner liner so it doesn’t explode on day one 
Has anyone tried the bacon-infused Bark Bone? My dog won’t touch rubber but he’s into food-smelling stuff lol

Yep! Got the bacon one and it’s been a game changer. He gnaws on it like crazy but it doesn’t fall apart 
@Kim
That’s exactly what I needed to hear. Ordering one now 
Anyone used the wooden stick one? My dog’s obsessed with real sticks but they’re a mess

Yup! It mimics a stick but without the splinters. Plus it’s bacon flavored too 
@Oak
Didn’t know it was flavored too! That’s a bonus lol. Thanks for the tip!
Can someone explain what puzzle toys are? I saw someone mention Kong as one too?

Yeah so puzzle toys are like mental games for dogs. Kong is one where you hide treats inside and they have to figure out how to get them out. Keeps them busy and not bored lol
@Voss
Ohhh gotcha. That’s actually smart. I think mine gets bored quick so that could help
