Dogs like to Chew on things, but as soon as they’ve got enough strength in their jaws, a simple toy will last for a few seconds. Even a tough pig ear will be gone in a matter of minutes. A durable toy will last longer, help them develop better habits, and will stop them from chewing on your furniture. Here are a few “fake”, non natural alternatives to the standard chew toys. Remember, they’re not for eating, just for chewing. Most of the material ends of up on the floor in little pieces. The swallowed pieces should be small enough to pass through your dog without harming them.

A reviewer says, “My dogs’ favorite chew! Both dogs are in the 50lb. range and tough chewers so the large lasts the longest. Difficult to find this locally in the large size. Long lasting and hard enough that my dogs are not able to chew any chunks off to choke on. I take this away once it is close to a size they might try to swallow whole.”

Note: don’t forget to choose the right size for your dog. These items were the larger items, however if you have a smaller dog, change the item’s size in Amazon to match your needs. Also remember that the materials used are sometimes softer for puppies, so don’t get a puppy version for a big dog. Also, read the warnings on the packaging. Most say to discard the toy once it gets small as dogs can choke on it.
