 | Starmark Bob-A-Lot!
Buy new: $20.87 Best toy so far in terms of her staying entertained for longer as the kibble dispenses a lot slower (you can adust the size of the holes) compared to her other toys. Keep the yellow cap on since the rounded shape prevents teeth from gaining (too much) purchase.
|
 | 39 Inch Colorful Training Whip
Buy new: $4.90 - $10.25 Not exactly this but any whip will do to use as a flirt pole. Good fun/exercise (especially during cold/rainy days) and also teaching/reinforcing 'drop its' as well as making her work for her meal (using food as reward)
|
 | Premier Tennis Tail Raccoon, Medium
Buy new: $6.99 Attached this to the horse whip/flirt pole as a lure. A fairly cheap toy; combined, about $15 at local pet/feed store.
|
 | Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball, Large
Buy new: $10.97 Definitely 'tricky.' Even hard for the humans to take the kibble out. Anya will eventually get frustrated and ignore the ball leaving a few pieces of kibble inside. Also not tough enough to leave unattended. UPDATE: Anya has now learned to leave her treat dispensing toys alone after it's been emptied.
|
 | Buster Cube - Large - 4 1/2 in.
Buy new: $16.20 Extremely loud (we have hardwood floors) and Anya gets bored with it quickly, even if set at the maximum dispensing level.
|
 | Treatstik Large Blue Meal And Treat Dispensing Dog Toy
Buy new: $15.99 Made with the type of material that Anya can't chew through--hard plastic. The only issue is that the hole is too large but we put bigger treats in there to block her kibble somewhat, and after all the kibble is out, she still plays with it since she wants to get the too-big treats out. Also be sure to put the cap on really tight since she managed to untwist it once.
|
 | Premier Squirrel Dude, Medium
Buy new: $9.62 Not a huge fan of the prong 'treat meter' but durable and one that she can be left alone with.
|
 | Premier Chuckle
Buy new: $10.99 Similar to the Squirrel Dude, except it 'chuckles' which Anya doesn't really care about. Durable enough to be left with the dog which is a plus.
|
 | Everlasting Fun Ball Large
Buy new: $14.99 Kibble dispenses somewhat quickly. Not sure how durable it is since she hasn't expressed interest on chewing through it.
|
 | Monster Mouth Dog Toy, 4" Green
Buy new: $7.32 Not good for kibble but okay for treats. Cute to look at and durable enough for our puppy.
|
 | Hurley Large 8.25" Fetch Stick - Green
Buy new: $11.99 What we use to play fetch in the dog park. She only gets to play with it at the park so any chewing done is minimal.
|
 | Jolly Pet 4.5" Teaser Ball Red
Buy new: $8.17 Another one to roll around and chew on.
|
 | Hyper Products Dent-a-Tug, Medium
Buy new: $2.99 One of a few non-food dispensing toys Anya will voluntarily play with. There's bite marks at both ends but still in really good shape--there's hardly any dog toys out there, at this price, that are as durable.
|
 | Nylabone Chubby Buddies Hedgehog Plush Dog Toy
Buy new: $3.70 Bits of Hedgie's fur has come off but the tough center makes it worth it.
|
 | Tuffy Dog Toy - Best Dog Toy - Pink Piggy
Too cute to resist and it was only $20 at PetSmart. Only played with on rare occasions.
|
 | Tuffy's Ultimate Stone Bone Dog Toy For Medium to Large Dogs
Buy new: $15.98 Rated an '8,' it wasn't quite as 'tuff' as desired. However, it squeaks and it's a good enough durable plush toy that's lasted longer than her previous cheaper squeaky plush toys. UPDATE: Anya finally chewed through it 7/09 so it lasted a few months.
|
 | JW Pet Company Tough By Nature Bad Cuz Medium Dog Toy Assorted Colors
Buy new: $3.69 Good, durable squeaky toy.
|
 | Premier Busy Buddy Tug-a-Jug, Medium/Large
Buy new: $10.42 / Used from: $9.99 Kibble falls out too quickly but good in terms of toughness. So far she's had little interest in chewing the rubber 'rope' off.
|
 | Tumbler Ball
Buy new: $5.99 Not exactly a dog toy but highly durable and she likes rolling it around and barking at it.
|
 | No Grainer Dog Treats - Pork - 5oz
Buy new: $2.51 No Grainers have decent ingredients, as far as treats go, and at a good price ($1.50/7oz at Wal-Mart). You can also break them up into smaller pieces since they're semi-soft, stretching out the life of the treat.
|
 | Free Range Moo! Meaty Smoked Sliced Knuckle Dog Chew Treats
Buy new: $4.67 Not exactly this but the same brand and still have it months after first bought. Loves chewing on it even without the marrow and you can stuff it with treats and cover the ends with peanut butter (or other stuffer).
|
 | Silverado 3/4 in. x 14 in. x 24 in. - Lupine Adjustable Roman Style Harness
Buy new: $13.49 I don't recall the size but there's a lifetime guarantee which we ended up using a day after we bought it since we forgot to take the harness off and she chewed right through it.
|
 | Pet Buddies Roller Bone Dog Toy
Good for rolling around and playing tug. Not good for chewing since tires aren't very durable.
|
 | KONG Goodie Bone
Buy new: $10.35 We bought this for her when she was younger but she finally chewed through it after she turned 1. Although she might've chewed more than normal since I stuck a bullystick in it which is too good to resist.
|
 | Atomic Treat Ball - 3 in.
Buy new: $5.09 Kibble dispenses too quickly and she's chewed off pieces surrounding the hole where the food comes out.
|
 | Nature's Instinct Ring Zinger for Dog
I liked the concept but I really have to stop buying toys on a whim--the ring was punctured in about 2 seconds and I'm not going to bother buying a replacement ring at $8. The fact that there's a replacement ring should have been my warning.
