humboldt505 Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 my puppy likes soft toys that make noise. My problem is how quickly she goes through them. I can't leave her alone with them because she rips them within a few days. But she loves them so much, it seems dumb but i give them names (usually the color they are) and she learns very quickly what "baby" i am talking about. I am not saying she knows the color but she puts the toy to the reference word so quickly. So here is my question, are their any sites you know of for really well made dog toys. My dog is a monster and to save my rugs and table legs i think i need toys that can stand up to Humby (or Stitch of lilo and stitch, her sole mission is to reverse street signs and steal everyones left shoe). Thanks for all the responses i get, i know i have been posting alot. Under all different names, just kidding. i think i am too new to post things like that. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 sorry can't help with tuff toys but calling toys by their colour would impress your friends they would think your dog knew his colours :D what a clever dog! Quote
Luka-pop Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 I have the same problem. He likes the soft fuzzy stuffed animals, but the insides of the poor thing will cmome out and the eyes will get popped off in like a day. He doesn't like the rubber toys as much. He likes the ropes, but last night his gums started bleeding cuz he chews on them so hard. He likes the Kongs, but I don't want to give him a kong with treats in it every day... he won't play with them unless the treat's in it. Anybody have any suggestiond? Are there any tough stuffed animals? :-? Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Galileio (spelling) Bone. These things are for serious chewers like my rottie, who can go through those compressed rawhide bones in a day and a half(we timed him once). IFyour dog is like mine and will just sit for hours on end and gnaw on stuff this bone is a life saver. Daz has been chewing religiously on this thing for about a month and its in great condition still. a little wet at times but doing a lot better than his kong at the same time span. He like to get a tooth in the treat hole and rip out chunks to make the hole bigger so the treats would fall out, smart or just lucky(the jury is still out on that one) Quote
alicat613 Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Fat Cat toys... http://www.fatcats.com/html_site/dogs.shtml The mailman, big mean kitty and others in the line are canvas stuffies with squeakers. They have fun legs and arms that dangle too. My friend's mastiff has had one for 2 years!! You can throw them in the washer too. I thought they might be too canvasy for my puppy but he likes his Big Mean Kitty. Quote
eggrolyn1223 Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Oh, I want to get one of those toys you're talking about, gigi.Duck has 2 stuffed animals(a penguin and her valentine bear)...the penguin has lost its nose already and the stuffing is coming out pretty fast..my mom tells me not to buy soft toys because we can get them really cheap from toy stores... :roll: :( Quote
Daisysmom Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Whew, those fat cat toys are a little pricey!! I guess if they last that long they are worth it. I just buy the stuffed animals at the pet supply. Quote
humboldt505 Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 thanks for the replys. i would just buy them at the pet supply store, i mean i do that now, but at 4$ a toy every 3 days. It adds up too quickly for me. She holds them down with her back feet and diggs at their chests with her front and doesn't stop working untill she ripps the stuffing and squeaker out. Then she won't play with the limp empty toy. My uncle has a much bigger dog, but all Burton does is clean and carry his toys around, while my little beast guts them. ewwww. i will order a fat cat toy. i'll let everyone know how it goes. Quote
humboldt505 Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 gigi- thanks i went to your site 2nd, and it's a perfect match! the promblem it solves is the same i have. i really like the pig. mhh, i hate choices. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 OH THAT'S RIGHT! I forgot about that THING that was a bear! :lol: Quote

I just buy the stuffed animals at the pet supply. WHOA!! I just looked at the prices on the site I used and you are right. I received ours as a gift but have found them for much cheaper many places. I'd seen them before but hadn't been all that excited by them, but they do last, are washable, tough, and still fun. And the squeaker is very durable. Range $8-9 for the dog toys here http://www.drugstore.com/templates/brand/default.asp?brand=22313&trx=GFI-0-PPBS&trxp1=22215 Another idea are the mop-pets. Haven't tried them myself but my dog isn't destructive anyway. https://futurepet.com/cgi-bin/search.exe?BP=1&RCAT=100. (my favorite online pet shop!) Quote
Daisysmom Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 That future pet site was pretty good, very reasonable :) Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted January 22, 2003 Posted January 22, 2003 They are wonderful. I found something at a better price elsewhere, notified them and they gave it to me not only at that price but also like $3 off my order as a finders fee! Really great customer service and the toys from them are always the quality I expect. I have had a few places where I order and am disappointed in what I receive, not so with Future Pets. Quote
