The black Kong is the most durable option, but is still safe for teeth.

Over 250,000 have been sold and I’ve never heard of any issues with dog teeth cracking from it.

Indestructibone 12" Mega Max

This is what I recommend over antlers and Himalayan chews that can crack teeth.

One reviewer wrote: My dog destroys everything.

[…] Those indestructible soft toys?

Fluff & Tuff Nuts Squirrel

He’s a rottweiler, lab, and pit.

I had given up on toys because I couldn’t afford to replace them so often.

The indestructibone though, is amazing.

WEST PAW Zogoflex Rumpus Dog Chew Toy, Small

His first one lasted about a year before it was deemed too chewed up and small.

He chews on it over and over every day.

Chunks don’t get broken off, if anything they are very small pieces, never an issue.

Available sizes:XXL,XL|Material: non-toxic polymer

One reviewer wrote: I never write reviews, but I was motivated to write about this dog toy.

For the toughest of chewers, I would go with theZogoFlex, wrote Ellis.

This has stood up to my strongest chewing dogs.

It also comes in three bright color options so its easy to spot.

Plus, its dishwasher-safe so you might quickly clean it when your dog brings it in from the yard.

Finally, when it reaches the end of its lifespan, its recyclable.

One reviewer wrote: My golden retriever chews toys within days if not minutes.

This toy has lastest all summer and it floats!
