Good Dog Toys for a Big Dog, Like a Golden Doodle.?

The Kong company puts out a variety of kong toys in a black rubber, read the package but the black rubber is extra tough and I very much doubt your pup will destroy it. Also try nylabone, the plastic ones are very very hard, and can be used in place of a ball or some other such toy. Also petsmart as well as other stores probley puts out extra large tennis balls for large breed dogs, much harder to destroy as well. Also you should buy in the grocery store in the meat section, soup bones. boil them for about 20 mins and it should be cooked enough, but check. Freeze the extras and nuke them when you need one or give them frozen (some dogs like them cold). Make sure you get bones big enough for her, some of them are huge so you should not have a problem. But dont' worry if she starts chewing on them, its good for their teeth and the calcium in the bones is good for their health as well, just make sure you watch and she does not eat chunks of the bones. Good luck! p.s. also do not forget bully sticks (they make 24" ones), and they make very large rawhides like a couple of feet long.

1. What dog toys/bones are the best for dogs who are chewers?

definitely rawhide treats and kongs

2. Can dog toys cause cancer?

This article explains how some materials in dog toys can cause cancer. Here is an excerpt from the article that may help you prevent the cancer. WHAT IS SAFE TO GIVE MY DOG? Let's face it, there is no 100% safe toy for our dogs. The key is to supervise your dog's play time with toys. Play WITH the dog and the toy. Stimulate your dog's mind as well as making play a part of his/her daily exercise regime. Many toys state they are not intended for strong or powerful chewers, other state they are not intended for chewing at all. Make sure you are getting an appropriate toy for the activity level and chewing ability of your own dog. I do not believe that dogs should ever be left alone with toys that can be destroyed easily. If your dog is exercised properly before you ever leave him/her alone, chances are that they dog will simply sleep most of the time you are gone. A tired dog is a content and happy dog. The best toys are toys that YOU can play with to interact with your dog. Buy Organic Toys when possible For the reasons stated above, to avoid exposing our canine companions to toxins and allergins that can lead to grave illness or death, organic cotton is safe, non-toxic, made of all-natural materials originating from nature. Organically grown, the fibers are unbleached, untreated, and unprocessed. Look for organic toys that only use natural extracts from plants and minerals to dye the fibers. Give Your Dog A (RAW) Bone A raw beef marrow or knuckle bone is not only a wonderful for your dog's teeth, gums and jaw muscles but they are nutritious and will keep your dog happy and healthy. *IMPORTANT* NEVER give your dogs cooked bones! Cooking changes the structure of the bone and will make it brittle and if ingested, non-digestable! Feed Raw bones only. The original Nyla Bones are a very popular and safe alternative. I do not recommend the edible ones or the soft Gumabone as they are easily chewed off large pieces. Again, the original Nylabones are made from pure virgin nylon, which makes them stronger and more durable than Gumabone. In fact, the Nylabone Galileo Bone is the World's Strongest Dog Bone! Nylabones are: unique therapeutic devices designed to satisfy the chewing instinct of aggressive chewing dogs; safer than other dog chews; they will not splinter or break off in chunks but be worn down or be chewed off in very small fibers that are easily passed through the digestive system. While I prefer a raw beef bone for my Boston Terriers, I have used Nylabones for over 20 years have found them to be safe and enjoyed by my dogs

3. How do I make my own dog toys?

Hey! I know what you mean, if i get my dog one of those soft fuzzies he will rip it within one minute:) Once I got a canvas toy it went for about 2 weeks..You could make a sock spider. Take your old socks and tie them in the middle!! Also you could put some treats in a sock and tie the other end up so it wants the treats but has to open the sock to get it! I also go this toy for my dog called a tug a jug...It is jug where you can put treats or dog food. You open the end and put the food in, then close it. The dog can not open it...On the other end is like a ball with an opening with a rope, so if the dog flips the jug over SOME food will come out so it keeps wanting to open it for the food! If it can not do it try taking the jug and show him what to do! :) Get him a bone, they love certain types! Also they sell dog ice ceams, and bones with penut butter on top! My dog loves them!
