    Default Service announcement

    For years I have been around labs that enjoyed chewing. Chewing on my chair legs, couches, shoes, clothing, and then the toys. When they are young, maybe you can get away with a Kong toy if they aren't too aggressive with it. Then they grow up. I've had dogs crush rocks, shred logs ( not branches) destroy the extra large, forty dollars Kong's. Every toy gets destroyed, every tennis ball gets flattened. I gave a bump stop off my old Toyota to my current girls mom and she tore it up in less than a week. I'm talking that super hard rubber. I've finally found the solution. And if anyone has had a dog destroy one please let me know.

    A blue raquetball.

    My dogs chew them for hours and have yet to puncture one. Cheap, come in a three pack, you can launch them pretty damn far with a tennis racket.

    Just thought I'd throw that out there.

    That might be hard to pass.

    Be careful, only time I have ever seen a dog actually choke on something was an old tennis ball with all the felt worn off...

    They can be destroyed, but it takes a while. Just have to keep an eye on them. They are good though. You can can a bucket of them at academy for a pretty good price.

    My lab chews the cover of golf balls when she finds them.

    Hope they don't swallow it or a big chunk of it once they do get into it..

    I highly doubt it will break down. It's been six months with my 100lb black lab. He can shred and pop a tennis ball in twenty minutes or less. Can't pop it. He isn't the brightest and he hasn't managed to swallow or attempt it yet. I'm still on the first ball of a three pack. It gets a consistent four solid hours of chewing a day.

    That's why I'm recommending this. He takes bites out of a Kong. I honestly can't leave him alone with any other toy or it might be coming out the other end.

    I try not to give my dog anything soft he can learn to chew on or become possessive over.

    Well my black lab doesn't hunt. My yellow lab isn't interested in chew toys. She's the hunter.

    Bitter Apple is what we used with our dogs. They don't chew on a damn thing that has been sprayed.
