I’ve tried: Yak cheese (enjoyed, caused diarrhea probably because he sometimes ate too much?) Bully sticks (ate up very quickly, within the hour, smells revolting, even the stink free ones) Bamboo bone (think it’s just a Nylabone and he pulled large pieces off) Rubber bone (West Paws, uninterested) Various other rubber chew toys (pulls off pieces, unclear if he’s eating them or spitting them all out) Vet doesn’t like hooves, antlers, saying they break their teeth. This boy needs to chew though! |

I don’t think they are meant to be chew toys, but he isn’t interested in balls (except his own lol…recently neutered). |

Antlers...I have three dogs and they all love these. I watch to make sure nothing big breaks off but keeps them busy for hours.

We've had a rolled-up beef cheek recently for our super chewer that lasted for hours (multiple sessions) and wasn't smelly. It's probably the best thing we've found recently. Or the rubber toys that you can put treats inside, like a Kong, to make them enticing. |

| You can get really hard rubber chew toys that don’t have pieces that are easily pulled off on Amazon. I have a big chewer and have tried so many things too. Even then some only last a few days. |

Ditto. My dog loved these! |

My dog is a very heavy chewer. I swear by Playology toys. You can find them at Petsmart, Amazon, etc. We have their bone, ring, and rope. All are in great shape after heavy use over months. You want to buy ones rated 4 (heavy chewers) or 5 (heaviest chewers). Here’s the ring:

Interesting. I have seen these but didn’t try since the West Paws ones were received unenthusiastically. They aren’t scented, though. I will pick one up and give it a shot. |

I never thought I would do this, but we subscribed to the Super Chewer Bark Box, and their toys have been wonderful. My dog destroyed every toy we bought him, except the Kong, which didn’t interest him. He’s only been able to destroy one of the toys. His favorites are the chew toys wrapped in heavy duty fabric-the dog is meant to tear that off and then there is another toy below. Highly recommend. It’s not cheap, but the amount I was spending on toys and chews that he was destroying in 10 minutes was probably more.
As a bonus, it is ADORABLE to see his excitement whenever I bring a package in. |
