    Some of the easiest way to keep a dog entertained is with bones, chews, or toys. Here are 5 Best Toys for Dog Toys for Aggressive Chewers.

    It’s difficult to find a dog toy can withstand the punishment of a serious chewer.

    Fortunately, there are some options that are extra tough. (Keep in mind, however, that no toy is indestructible. It’s important to take precautions when your dog is playing with any toy, even the ones listed below.)

    Picking out the best dog toys for aggressive chewers can be challenging—you know, because some dogs really do like to destroy toys quicker than others.

    Here are our favorite dog toys for tough chewers. These dog toys might not be 100% guaranteed indestructible, but they're pretty close.

    Materials to Avoid for Tough Dog Toys


    When dogs get bored, they often turn to chewing on their toys. Although it’s cute to see your dog happily chewing on a stuffed animal toy, it’s not so cute when you find long, ugly, tooth-marks in the toy and the stuffing coming out.

    For the health of your dog, it’s important to avoid certain materials for your dog’s toys. During their teething stages, puppies will chew on anything they can get their jaws around, from shoes to furniture.

    Once they’re done teething, they’ll still chew on things to keep their jaws strong, clean their teeth, and satisfy their urge to chew.

    Generally, chew toys made from the following materials or items aren't strong enough for power chewing pups.



    Materials to avoid are:


    Squeaky toys - Squeaky toys are fun for dogs, but they're not for tough chewers.

    Dogs that play rough can tear through most squeaky dog toys on their mission to find the sound-making device inside. Once they find the squeaker, they usually eat it.


    Plush or fleece toys - Plush toys are super cute. After all, who doesn’t want to see their dog chewing on a cute plush toy. Unfortunately, indestructible plush dog toys don’t exist.

    Most chewers tear through these like butter, causing digestive issues, discomfort, and possibly even more serious medical issues.


    Latex or vinyl toys - Again, these toys are cute and fun, but they're not tough enough for tough dogs.

    Dogs can create sharp edges as they bite on these toys, and this can cause extreme pain and discomfort as well as potentially lead to an infection.



    The Benefits of Letting Dogs Chew

    • Chewing is a natural behavior for puppies and dogs.
    • Good dental hygiene
    • Chewing is good for keeping tartar from building up on the teeth (which helps prevent dragon breath).
    • When a dog chews on hard objects, it helps to scrape away the tartar can build up and cause bad breath, staining, and periodontal disease.


    Satisfy the natural desire to chew


    It’s true that all dogs need to chew, and whether it’s a rawhide treat or a real bone, you want to make sure your dog is chewing on something safe.

    Many dogs like to chew on shoes, furniture, and even other dogs, so it’s important to find something that satisfies the natural desire to chew.

    If you have a dog who chews up everything you own, you’ve probably already discovered: most of the toys out there are not strong enough to withstand a powerful chewer, or they’re made from materials that are too hard for most dogs to comfortably munch on.

    These toys meet the natural desire to chew.



    They Choose to Relieve Boredom


    Chewing is an enjoyable pastime for many dogs, while others may chew to relieve boredom, frustration, or anxiety.

    If you had to choose between your new couch, your leather wallet, or a bone, which do you want your dog to chew?



    To Aid in Teething

    • Puppies chew for several reasons.
    • Puppies love to chew on something hard to relieve the discomfort in their gums as their adult teeth come in.
    • Chewing helps develop powerful jaws and trains them as youngsters on the items acceptable to chew.

    Chew Bones


    aggressive dog chew toy


    • As long as they aren't too small or brittle, bones are great choices for dogs to chew.
    • Chicken bones, for example, are small and could splinter, getting caught in your dog's throat or digestive system.
    • The best bones come from the femur (leg bone) of a large animal, such as a cow. They are dense so they don't splinter, yet are a manageable size for a dog to handle. They even come smoked and basted, so your dog has a variety of choices.


    Pig Ears


    Pig Ears, we've seen them, smelled them and yes, we've touched them.

    They aren't too appetizing to us, but our dogs love them. They don't mind they are real pig ears off of real pigs.


    What they know about pig ears:

    •  natural pork
    •  tasty and tantalizing
    • great for crate training or as a snack
    • an acceptable outlet for their natural chewing needs
    • easier to digest than rawhide.

    Chew Hooves


    • Yes, these are the hooves filled with peanut butter. These are my dog's favorites!
    • They are 100% protein, so they are digestible but hooves have the potential to splinter.
    • Supervise your dog if they are aggressive chewers.

    Does your dog like to chew? What has your dog chewed up?
