| Best Dog Toys for Aggressive Chewers |
Since dogs are wild animals at heart, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that dogs like to chew and, for
some dogs, they’re only satisfied when they outright destroy. Now, for these types of tough
chewers, dog toys can become quite the expensive habit. But, don’t worry, there are dog toys that
are designed to keep both your dog and your wallet happy. Dog toys that are specifically designed
to be satisfying to chew on but built tough enough to last.
One of the most popular type of dog toys that owners of powerful chewers swear by are chew toys
that are manufactured with a material that is hard but soft, durable but bendable. It’s difficult for
dogs to really enjoy the chewing pleasure of biting on a surface that’s hard – like plastic or a stiff
rubber. Sure, these types of dog toys are tough and durable but they aren’t exactly curbing a dog's
instinctual desire to chew. However, dog toys made with a material that is both durable but still soft,
are the perfect alternative.
A good example of this type of material is West Paw Design’s exclusive material Zogoflex. The
material is non toxic , earth friendly and their dog toys are made in the U.S.A. Here are some dog
toys made with this material that dog owners swear by. West Paw Hurley, West Paw Tux, West Paw
Bumi. Many dog owners say that dog toys made with Zogoflex are more durable and longer lasting
than Kong dog toys.
