On the flipside, a rubber chew toy that is lightweight enough for a smaller dog simply won’t hold up to the crunching jaws of a large breed, such as a Labrador. At 3 inches wide, it’s slightly larger than a tennis ball – just a little too large for small breeds like a Pomeranian or Chihuahua. You’ll also need a large sized ball thrower for games of fetch. Unfortunately, I have seen many owners blame their dog for breaking toys that were not designed to be chewed on for hours at a time – don’t be that owner. Buy a more appropriate toy instead. Conclusion Interestingly, we noticed that the more we paid for an indestructible toy, the longer it lasted. These more expensive dog toys were often made in the USA and had generous return guarantees – you certainly get what you pay for. While plush toys do not tend to be the number one choice for most indestructible toys, Tuffy toys are a good choice for destructo-dogs who have a soft spot for, well, soft things. Marketed as “the world’s toughest soft toy,” these bad boys are lined and stitched with industrial-grade luggage material that’s gentle on gums but almost immune to teeth. Tuffy makes toys in all shapes and sizes, but the Mega Ring is a great starter. It’s washable, it floats, and best of all, it lasts in the mouths of a lot of hardened plush destroyers.

A lot of Rover dogs love this tough fetch and chew toy, which comes in three sizes. According to one pet parent, “Radar can toss it, bounce it, paw it, gnaw it, bury it under a blanket, and aside from a few toothmarks, it doesn’t show its age.” Another has had one of these last through two dogs, and it’s still going strong. However, if your pup can destroy a toy in minutes, tearing it to shreds, then it’s time to upgrade to something that will last a little longer.

These dogs enjoy the challenge of breaking a toy – it’s a show of strength. They will then happily wag their tail at you as if to say, “Look, I broke it. Aren’t you proud of me! What’s my next challenge?” We found that the small concave shape was the perfect size for holding two small milk bones. With some creativity, we could get a variety of other treats to stay inside too. Now, no chew toy is forever. Eventually, your super-chewer is going to work his way through even this tough rubber. Fortunately, Goughnuts goes the extra mile and offers a lifetime guarantee… So, which indestructible treat toy outclassed the competition? The West Paw Tux. Made from their patented Zogoflex rubber, the surface held strong as enthusiastic dogs ripped and tore into the surface as they attempted to retrieve the treats inside. I noticed a mild rubber smell, similar to a car tire. This odor is strongest when the Goughnuts Tug MaXX is brand new but fades over time. The rubber smell didn’t put any of our pups off. They pulled with all their might, just like they did with every other tug toy we tested.

West Paw offers a whole range of durable rubber toys, but this bone is rated as one of the toughest in its collection. It’s recyclable and recycled: the material, Zogoflex, is partly made from old worn West Paw toys used to make new ones. I don’t know what it is about squeaky toys, but they turn many dogs into toy-destroying monsters. They simply won’t rest until the squeaker dies, working the toy over and over until their teeth finally puncture the squeaker.And as far as tough toys go, the Orbee-Tuff Squeak was the most durable squeak toy we reviewed. It resisted powerful jaws and tearing teeth longer than any other. Heavy-Duty, durable, and extremely solid. The Goughnuts MAXX is tougher than the original Goughnuts Ring. It's a costly quest too. Buying new dog toys to have them ripped apart in minutes soon adds up, not to mention the price the planet pays as all those busted squeakers and clumps of stuffing pile up in landfill.

If you have a small power chewer, then you’ll be pleased to know that this Frisbee is also available in a smaller size. For anything larger than a French Bulldog, I suggest choosing the larger of the two. Small They’re tough, they keep your dog busy, and they’re inexpensive compared to other chew toys. After a couple of hours of chewing, there’s some slight damage on the ends, but it’s nothing compared to what your dog does to similar toys. The good news is we found some indestructible dog toys – well, at least our canine testers didn't destroy them.

How We Chose Our Indestructible Dog Toys

Rough dogs love to play fetch too! After chasing down the tennis ball, our Pit Bull tester spent the next minute or so aggressively shaking and crunching the ball before returning it. I don’t need to tell you that games of fetch with this muscular pup were fairly short-lived – those strong jaws easily ripped through tennis balls. Unlike the Goughnuts Chew Ring MaXX, the Goughnuts Tug MaXX does not contain a red core. This is because it’s designed for supervised play rather than continuous chewing. The Kong Rewards Ball wasn’t met with as much enthusiasm by our wonderful dog reviewers as some of the other toys. This was a very temporary and short lived reaction however. The combination of a toy that the dogs can play with and keep them amused for hours with the treat dispenser is a clever concept. For us humans it was super easy to insert the treats and unlike some other treat dispensers it didn’t involve too much brain power or effort for the dogs to actually benefit from the dispenser and receive the treats.

It is really easy to keep clean, if we can actually remove it from a dog that is and what’s even better is the Nylabone doesn’t lose it’s flavour ever. For any dog owners who hate mess and smell the great thing about this bone is there isn’t any, no none at all! Max discreetly or not so discreetly attempting to steal the popular Nylabone from Maya. Automatic ball throwers use a small ball that requires training to load up the machine. These can be pretty dangerous if used with a larger dog; however, these larger indestructible dog balls do not fit in a ball thrower as they are too large and too heavy.We found hundreds of dog chew toys throughout our search, but finding the perfect chew toys that cannot break apart was more difficult.
