Puppy toy for dog who likes water bottles

[Anonymous]

Dog will occasionally chew a kong but will go to town if it gets a hold of a plastic water/soda bottle. Obvs not safe at all—but any ideas of a toy that is similarly firm/crunchy but not breakable/dangerous?

They like the crunchy sound. There are toy water bottles for your exact type of dog.

If you take the bottle cap off I don’t see why it’s not safe. My lab used to live playing with empty water bottles. No harm was done.

How about this one - I'm sure there are others but we got this for our horse that loves empty water bottles. It makes the same crunch sounds:

Chewy has Disney toys that use a plastic water bottle inside the toy.

I take my dog to the park by our place and jet him pick up a bottle off the basketball court; there are always empties left behind! He crunches it for the rest of our walk then we dump it in the recycling bin. He’s 14 and still loves this.

If that’s not for you, maybe something like this on Amazon: PupsNTails Set of Dog Water Bottle Toys. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M5975N1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_W3J4SBZV2AF7E4WV45FJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks all! My dog will literally break it up and eat it. So def not safe. I’ll try the crinkly duck one!

You can put the bottle inside a sock and knot it. This way he'll not be able to get to any pieces if it breaks.
