I have quite a few dog toy recommendations so I'll kept posting to this thread.  I'm sorry if some of my recommendations are US specific.  I will be posting links but I will have the name in case you need to find it elsewhere.

Feel free to post if you end up getting any of these.



My first recommendation for heavy chewers is the Super Chewer Bark box.  I got a 6 month subscription while I was deep in boarding dogs as my house.  It came in super handy to have lots of toys around and if they got chewed up it was no big deal because Bark box replaces them for free! Which I did have to do with one of them.  I opted for a box that came with 4 toys instead of treats because of food allergies in my pups and the toys are what they really wanted.
Good idea for a thread. Who better to  recommend dog toys than someone with  real dog experience.  If I toy survives your pack it must be a good toy.

Plus I have the benefit of having extra dogs with boardings.  Then with sittings I get to see what other owners get for their dogs.  I have a lot of hard chewers so I know what it's like to need ideas for strong toys.
You are like a dog toy testing site. You have dogs of different sizes and ages and temperaments.  Any toy that survives that test is a strong toy.
I am guessing the one thing all dogs have in common is a love of chewing.

The Bark box sounds great. Having them replace toys must be a real saving for you and the  dogs probably like getting new toys to chew.
Libby, with your wide experience, you could even start a commercial dog toy review site. Catherine and I have had to deal with a few fake review sites recently, so to have a real, genuine, one, written from experience, from someone we know can be trusted implicitly, would be great!

Oooo I wonder If I could get my husband with his bachelors in Journalism and Masters in History to help me out?
I bet I could.  I'll think on that.
I was thinking companies should send their toys to you to have them dog tested.

Having you write reviews would help people looking for dog toys. I think you can find a way to do this. I know your dogs will be happy to help.
I've thought about doing that... Do the Instagram dog model thing. That's kinda what this thread will be just a less polished version.
Sounds good. I like looking at reviews of products. Having a dog toy review is a good idea.  I look forward to seeing what you post. If I need to get a dog toy for someone I can see what you say about it. As someone without a dog, I have no idea what they would like.

Next recommendation is the PetSafe Brissle bone.

This thing is awesome for dogs who hate having their teeth brushed.  I have a lot of rescues so I don't really get to train them on teeth sensitivity from a young age.  I get what I get.  You will find a lot of future toys based around teeth for this reason.  I was recommended the bristle bone from a friend who also had issues with her cocker spaniel and chocolate lab.  She got the large and medium but said the two dogs mostly fight over the medium because the large is so heavy.  Weight is something to think about when picking sizes.   They do have x-small and small for the smaller pups I just can't vouch for those.
These toys are still pretty new to them one down side for my dogs is the treat rings don't seam to entice them to chew but adding dog tooth paste on the treat against the bristles does seem to work for mine.  Peanut butter could be use too just make sure it's dog safe and creamy.
