The Most Durable Long Lasting Dog Toys

Does your dog destroy toys in a matter of seconds? Do you have a difficult time finding a toy that keeps your dog distracted for more than a minute? Two products on the market and available at your local pet retailer may help keep your dog satisfied and your wallet full.

The Kong Company makes a durable rubber chew toy that dogs love. The toy is hollow, which allows you to fill it with something your dog will want to remove from the toy. Peanut butter is a great filling to begin with. You can just smear some peanut butter on the inside of the toy and your dog will go crazy try to lick it out. The company also has recipes for fillings on their website, www.kongcompany.com . Kong toys are available in different sizes and strengths for light to extreme chewers. Always make sure to read the label on any toy you purchase for your dog or cat to insure you are buying the proper size and type for the size and temperment of your pet.

If your dog loves the soft. fiber filled squeaky type toy, like mine does, you may want to try the Fat Cat Inc., www.fatcatinc.com Doggy Hoots line of dog toys. These toys are made of a durable fabric, something like that of a firehose. While my dogs will destroy a stuffed squeaky toy in a matter of seconds, they have had their Doggy Hoots Mailman toy for three years, he is dirty, but without holes.

These toys are brightly colored and come in people friendly themes. There is the Mailman, the Ex Boyfriend, Mean Kitty, the Burglar and more. Fat Cat has also been know to produce dog and cat toys in the images of political candidates during presidential election times. They are toys made with the strong chewer in mind and are worth trying if you have found your dog devouring your hard earned cash in a matter of seconds.

Both Kong and Fat Cat toys can be purchased at major pet retailers as well as at some major department stores and online pet retailers.
