Most dogs love chewing, but some are heavier chewers than others. What lasts one dog years may only last another a few hours. Not only does heavy chewing destroy many toys quickly, it can also result in pieces breaking off that your dog can swallow. This can lead to gastrointestinal obstructions, which are typically very bad news! Remember that no toy is indestructible, and while these are our top picks for our most dedicated chewers, we highly recommend to never leave your dog unattended with any toy.

#1 – Zisc Flying Disc

Zisc Flying Disc

The Zisc is a durable frisbee made by West Paw Design. Available in two different sizes for both small and large dogs, this toy will bring you and your pup tons of fun. It comes in a variety of colors, is soft enough to be easy on your dog’s teeth and jaws, flies like a plastic frisbee, bounces, and floats! It’s made out of recyclable materials in the USA and is even dishwasher safe! View the Zisc here.

#2 – Everlasting TREAT Ball

Everlasting Treat Ball

Starmark Academy is home to some excellent treat-dispensing dog toys, and the Everlasting TREAT Ball is one of our favorites. You can use the Starmark treats that come with the ball, but if you’re like us you’ll stuff it with your pup’s favorite snack and some peanut butter. The Everlasting TREAT Ball comes in several sizes to match your dog, and holds up to some fairly heavy chewing. Another toy that’s dishwasher safe, this ball will certainly keep your dog entertained for hours when filled with treats. View the Everlasting TREAT Ball here.

#3 – EverTuff Nylon Bone

EverTuff Bone

This chew bone is made of tough nylon and rubber and built to last. It comes from JW Pet in a variety of sizes to suit your pup’s needs, and is one of the toughest toys specifically made for chewing. It comes in flavors such as chicken or bacon, and has two indentations on each side to fill with peanut butter! This bone is sure to keep your dog busy and last quite a while.

#4 – Orbee Ball

Orbee Ball

Rated “The World’s Best Dog Ball” by experts in the pet industry, the Orbee-Tuff Orbee Ball certainly has some shoes to fill, and we were not disappointed! Not only do dogs love to chase and chew on these balls, they float and are mint flavored! Available in a variety of sizes and colors, the Orbee Ball can be purchased on a rope or as the ball alone. Either way, we’ve found these to last a very long time and bring years of enjoyment to our pups. View the Orbee Ball here.

#5 – Hurley Dog Bone

Hurley Dog Bone

This is another favorite made by West Paw Design. The Hurley Dog Bone acts as both a toy to chase and chew, and has lasted through even our hardest chewers. Another recyclable toy made in the USA, the Hurley Dog Bone also offers a free replacement if your dog destroys it! View the Hurley Dog Bone here.

#6 – Nylabone Dinosaurs

T-Rex

Whether you prefer a T-Rex, a Stegosaurus or a Brontosaurus, Nylabone has the right dinosaur chew for you and your dog. These toys are some of the toughest we’ve found and will last a long time for the heaviest chewers. These dinosaurs are also Dental Chews® that work to keep your dog’s teeth free of plaque and tartar. Plus, they’re dinosaurs! View the Nylabone dinosaurs here.

#7 – Romp-n-Roll

Romp-n-Roll

This is another one of our favorites, because it’s suitable for any type of dog! Whether they love chasing, tugging, or even chewing, the Romp-n-Roll will hold up to all of your pup’s activity. Although this toy won’t last for exclusive chewing, it does pass the test of regular play. The Romp-n-Roll is a great toy for water games as well as yard play, and the rope makes it more interactive than just a regular ball! View the Romp-n-Roll here.

#8 – Kong Extreme

While regular Kongs will hold up for your average chewer, they don’t stand a change against a dog really looking to destroy. That’s why there’s the Kong Extreme. This Kong is sure to provide longer, safer fun for heavy chewers, and can easily be stuffed with treats just like any other! Not only does Kong provide their original toy in the Extreme rubber material, they make several other varieties of toys as well! View the Kong Extreme here.

#9 – Jolly Egg

Jolly Egg

The Jolly Egg is loads of fun, and it doesn’t even need your assistance to function. In fact, the Jolly Egg is shaped so that your dog won’t even be able to pick it up! This means he’ll just spend hours running around chasing it, trying to catch it so he can chew! It holds up well to rough play, including your dog hitting, bouncing, and biting it. If you’ve got a herding breed or high drive dog, be sure to check out the Jolly Egg. Plus, it floats! View the Jolly Egg here.

#10 – Cuz

Good Cuz

There are a variety of Cuz toys, including the Good Cuz and Bad Cuz. Regardless of your choice, your dog is sure to get tons of enjoyment from this tough toy. JW Pets has not only made a durable toy that holds up to heavy chewing, they’ve made one that squeaks! That’s right, the Cuz toys are tough and squeaky. It’s a sure-fire way to keep your pups occupied for hours. Be warned though, the squeaky might start to drive you a little crazy! View the Cuz toys here.
