Ideas on doggy toys....pleaaasse

• Ideas on doggy toys....pleaaasse Jennifer Martin Posted : 7/11/2006 3:06:08 PM Ok so have you guys seen the cute Petsmart commercial with the cute little weiner dog toting around the mini stuffed weiner dog? It is slightly dirty with some wear and tear and it is time for a new one. Anyway... my Toby just had to have one so I marched right over and picked one up. He loved it, but much to my surprise 10 minutes after giving it to him the poor toy had been gutted of all stuffing and two squeekers. What is a mom to do? Any suggestions on better made stuffed animals? Those do seem to be his favorite but maybe that is because he can have his way with them. lol LIKE 14 REPLIES 374 VIEWS LAST POST JONES Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xebby Posted : 7/11/2006 3:09:51 PM There are similat toys made of stronger material. You could just look around your local pet store and see whats there. I went through tones of toys before I figured out which ones were "safe" for my dogs. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• alieliza Posted : 7/11/2006 5:01:12 PM I got this toy for Tyson after he hijacked it from my boyfriend's mothers dachshund pup.  He loves it, and unbelievably, he hasn't destroyed it.    It is really funny, cause Tyson is a pit bull, and these toys are tiny (3"), but they are surprisingly durable.  Most plush toys last literally 2 minutes with him, as he is a seek and destroy dog, but he has not destroyed these, and has had them for weeks.  I don't know if it is because they are too small for him to get a grip, or if they are just well made.   They are plush toys with a squeaker in them.   I found them at petsmart, and they are 3.29 a piece. They are called puppy buddies.    Here is a photo of them (from petsmart.com) 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jprinz99 Posted : 7/12/2006 8:15:04 PM Did someone mention a stuffie? Must find and destroy all stuffies. Here little stuffie... ~Tyler   ha ha! just my feeble attempt at humor. The only thing that lasts more than 60 seconds aroun here are rock hard NylaBones or the black Kongs. Of course, we have planty of de-gutted stuffie rags pieces if anyone needs them! jane 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• fuzzy_dogs_mom Posted : 7/12/2006 9:37:34 PM A couple of years ago a friend got Max a stuffed monkey for Christmas - it made monkey noises instead of the usual squeak.  Max loved that thing and dragged it around for a long time before it stopped making sounds.  I sure would love to find another one somewhere.

• dogslyfe Posted : 7/13/2006 7:39:34 AM My dogs LOVE the fleecy like squeakies I've gotten them from dog.com - and they're as tough or tougher than any others I've gotten. I like the egg babies and the squeaky sheep. Great prices too, so it doesn't hurt my feelings as bad when they ceremoniously de-appendage, de-squeak, or de-stuff them. The best thing you can tell yourself is you need to understand a dog's mantra. "Squeaky toys are evil, and MUST BE KILLED." Once you understand this, you'll sleep much better at night.

• Jennifer Martin Posted : 7/13/2006 8:11:28 AM Thanks for all the suggestions... I just found a little bunny which strangely enough growls. Interesting yes but so far so good. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jones Posted : 7/13/2006 5:04:09 PM I've given up on stuffed toys. Russell's longest lasting stuffie was the alligator from Strapping Yankers - pictured here - [linkhttp://fatcatinc.stores.yahoo.net/instyadogtoy.html]http://fatcatinc.stores.yahoo.net/instyadogtoy.html[/link] The thing is heavy canvas and all seams reinforced with tough woven nylon. It lasted a truly amazing few weeks then bit the dust like all the rest. I followed it with the snake from the same company... my thought process was "no limbs, nothing to tear off!"... it lasted about 10 minutes. Once they get that first taste of stuffing... they turn into stuff-thirsty killers. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sammurphy Posted : 7/14/2006 8:21:50 PM UGGGHHH! I know what you mean! My older dog will destroy any stuffed toy with in a few min. The FatCat brand (Target has it) seems to hold up better then most but Sam still kills those in less then a half hour.  I tried a stuffed toy I found at Dog.com made by Tuffies which actually made it about a week.... Even tho Sam can gut a stuffed toy in seconds I usually just pick up the guts and leave him with the body...He still plays with it.   Oh yeah -- -Someone asked about a monkey that makes monkey noises.  Pet Smart carries one that sells for about $8.. I also found one at dog.com too for about $5 but it wasnt very big. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
