Dog Chew Toys for Aggressive Chewers -Indestructible Dog Toys for Large Dogs to Reduce Pet Anxiety and Boredom

Indestructible? Not for my pitbull. Except on this toy. She has slowly chewed some of the outer portion on the backside, but it still has a lot of gnawing time left. This is her go-to toy now. she carries it nearly everywhere. She loves it. I am amazed at how well it is holding up. Within minutes, hours or a few days, the other "indestructible" toys I've purchased, never survived as described. This is a heavy toy! Not for the weak! I cannot stress enough the extreme chewer my dog is. Yet, I can see this toy lasting months. It won't be pretty then but it will most likely still be a favorite chew toy. I'm glad I found this and will be buying more. FYI's... 1) Chewability-5 stars 2) Softness-1 star, it's solid but chewable, 3) Bounce-0 stars, No bounce, it's heavy!, Playability- 5 stars. My dog plays with it, lets it lay with her when resting. Nearly always within her reach. She sleeps with it! That's love. Read more

Key points • supervision is a must. Foam is sturdy but will eventually be ripped off by aggressive chewing. • this is a heavy toy so watch your toes • lasts longer than most, definitely worth buying • dogs had no interest at first so definitely put peanut butter on it to give it a chance. • It has been their favorite chew toy ever My five German Shepherds have loved this toy and destroyed it. As we are saying goodbye six months later I decided to share my review. At first none of them cared for it. I was going to return but for the money just didn’t. I don’t know how many months I had it before one of them picked it up ( maybe two) then they all wanted it. Within a month they did rip all the foam off, supervision is a must. They are all aggressive chewers. My daughter plays fetch with it, can’t stand it, but they love it. She throws it away from them, it’s way too heavy for a dog to catch without chipping teeth. I don’t like the fetch because when they drop it at my feet to play it hurts when I’m wearing sandals, again it’s heavy and solid. Not supposed to throw it but my dogs love it, when tired then go lay down and chew on it. This toy has lived outside since we bought it since it’s heavy and my dogs love to drop it at feet. They are only outside when we are so always supervised. Can’t stress that enough since they can eventually rip the foam and chew body off with enough chewing. I wouldn’t leave this toy or any toy alone with an aggressive chewer ever. This is the longest lasting aggressive chew toy we’ve owned. So I’m very happy with it and if you’re here you know the pain of trying to find something that last longer than a day or week. I wish I tried peanut butter to get them interested sooner. Read more

This is a sturdy, hard toy. However, this, like 99% of all toys is not truly for our aggressive chewer. This is the damage he did in less than 10 minutes. Read more

Gave this to my new pup for Christmas. One of the very few toys that had survived 5 days of severe chewing (so far). Quality seems very good, no chips have come off. Read more

This toy i not indestructible, the tail and head is what most dog go after to chew, my dog immediately went for the head and tail, chewing aggressively and the end result was a very sharp tail and head, he never went for the rubber mid section for the toy. If the entire toy was rubber possibly wouldn't have this issue but from seeing others reviews it looks like my pet isn't the only one going for the head and tail. Read more

My Great Pyrenees puppy loves this toy! He’s hardly put it down since Christmas. Tyson’s over 100# and has chewed this gators face 24/7. Other than some deep gouge marks, it’s still holding up! It’s hefty in weight, and solid. 👍🏻 Read more

We have an extremely aggressive chewer and this is the only toy he didn’t destroy in minutes! Read more

I gave this dog toy 2-stars based on my dog toy rating system (DTRS) for “Bruce” the Green Alligator! Unfortunately, I didn’t notice in the fine print of the product description on the website that this toy consisted of Nylon. If I noticed that description, I would’ve never purchased this product. Please do your own research on Nylon wrt teeth. I wasn’t impressed with the toy construction out of the box. The nylon head and tail sandwich the rubber body with soft rubber spines on Bruce’s back for easy gripping. This is not an “Indestructible” dog toy. Safety (1-rating): 1. I was always concerned about my dog’s teeth possibly cracking while he was chewing on Bruce’s Nylon ends. Thankfully, his teeth were fine throughout the use of this toy. 2. The Nylon came off in small pieces after a few hours and continued for the life of the toy; see picture. I never intended for my dog to swallow pieces of Nylon. 3. Bruce’s rubber rear end is where most of the damage occurred, as my dog was tearing off pieces of rubber and spines, which he thankfully passed through his system over a period of 2-3 days after I threw Bruce away; see picture. 4. The chewed-up Nylon ends were very hard, rough, sharp and pointy. There were occasions where I noticed my dog’s gums were bleeding as a result of chewing this toy. 5. Bruce is big enough not to swallow in its entirety, which is why I’m giving this a 1-rating for safety. 6. This is a molded product and not a plush product. Durability (2-rating): 1. It took my dog 1 to 2-weeks to get the toy in the shape that is shown on the posted photos. 2. The Nylon was immediately being scratched and scraped apart on day-1. Then I noticed pieces of Nylon coming off of Bruce after 3-4 days. 3. The rubber was immediately being punctured with small divots around the body on day-1. I noticed over the next couple of days that my dog was focusing on the rear end and trying to pull the rubber off the Nylon tail. 4. The rubber started coming off more quickly after 1-week, until I removed it all together. Squeaker (N/A): 1. Bruce has no squeaker. Fatality (2-rating): 1. Bruce had a longer life than most of my dog’s toys, but then again, I expected this to last much longer as the seller claims it is “Indestructible”, which it is not. 2. I tried filing off some of Bruce’s chewed up Nylon ends to smooth them out for more chew time, but came to my senses and just threw him away for safety concerns only. In conclusion, “Bruce” the Green Alligator should not be given as a chew toy, but more as a fetch toy, unless you want your dog to digest the Nylon and rubber materials.
