Some dogs are far rougher on their toys and need ones that are more robust than average. But if it’s super durable, they tend to be less interested in it. If it’s a more fun, cool dog toy, they’ll probably love it, but chances are it’ll be destroyed in minutes. Below, you’ll find the best indestructible dog toys available now.
The unique design of this toy achieves two things: 1. The weighted ends create a spiral motion. 2. The internal construction makes it extremely durable. You can also insert treats into the openings to keep your dog interested. As an added bonus, this one will float in water. Choose from orange, green, or purple in small, medium, or large sizes.
This adorable octopus shaped toy has it all. It’s tough for the strong chewers out there. It’s a squeaky chew toy to entertain any pup. It’s even bouncy for entertaining fetch sessions. The Ruffians line is designed for your active dog, and this unique character really stands out.
Okay, so this one is pretty basic, but simple can be very effective. Designed by polymer engineers, the company will replace their toys if your dog does manage to chew through them. This USA-made toy is good for a game of fetch or a dedicated chewing session. All GoughNut dog toys are made to float and come in orange, green, yellow and black, the last of which is available in an extra-durable Maxx version. A ring version is also available.
Looking for an indestructible dog toy that’s also water-safe? This cool bone from West Paw is built tough, but is still light enough to float. That makes it a great choice for trips to the lake. There are multiple color options available, all highly visible (which makes it easy for humans to find and retrieve the toy): aqua, tangerine, and green. Bones are available in mini, small, and large sizes to best suit the size of your dog.
I was never the hugest fan of the original Nylabone Dura Chew, and neither were my dogs. They just didn’t take to them. Recently, though I tried one of these textured models, which some in this extra large size that’s perfect for my three pit mixes. My blue nose especially loves them and after over a month, they’re just barely showing signs of being used. We picked the peanut butter option to feature, but they also make bacon, beef jerky, chickena and original flavored ones. They’ve also recently enjoyed the Dino Power DuraChew toys. Nylabone isn’t for every dog owner, but I’ve never had any problems with their toys and they’re worth a look especially for power chewers.
Despite the fact that this is one of the cheapest on the list, it’s also probably among the toughest. This ball-shaped toy was specifically developed to endure a lot of abuse. The square holes allow you to fill the ball with treats before letting your prodigious chewer have at it. Excellent for fetch, of course.
If you don’t necessarily need the Extreme treatment, the normal Ho-Lee Roller comes in five different sizes to match your dog, while the Football variant comes in four sizes.
Even though I personally find the original Kong to be quite durable, they’ve upped the ante with their take on the basic toy bone. This one is U.S.-made of natural rubber to form an ultra-durable toy that should provide hours of entertainment. The holes in it feature “Goodie Grippers” for packing the bone with treats before you head out on an errand. Super durable and prepared to put up with some abuse. If you prefer the original-style Kong, they make an Extreme version of that, while they also make a normal version of the Goodie Bone.
This pick has as much to do with cleaning your dog’s teeth as it does keeping them occupied. This dense rubber gorilla (or gator or t-rex) features treads on it to scrub your dog’s teeth while they chew, as it is infused with baking soda. This is a very heavy toy that should stand up to most chewers.
This toy features nubs that promote the health of teeth and gums. It’s available in three colors in three different weights, all of which are specifically designed for strong chewers. Excellent for teething dogs, but great for any pup who likes to gnaw. The variability and the texture make this a great buy for the price.
Another offering from PetSafe’s Busy Buddy line, this Squirrel Dude toy is a dense rubber toy that takes after the original Kong. It’s hollow on the inside, so treats, kibble, or peanut butter can be added to entice your dog to play with it. Like the JW Pet Megalast Gummi Bear elsewhere on this list, it bounces unpredictably when tossed, and comes in four different sizes.
A rope-based toy offers a benefit others might not, which is that it will help clean and floss your dog’s teeth. This is a large toy that will entertain your dog for a long time. The woven cotton fibers will stand up to a strong chewer and provides a new texture. Oh, they’ll get it apart eventually, but it’ll take awhile and they’ll have a good time doing it. My boys love these things, especially my brutish husky. In addition to the basic model that comes in three sizes, you can get a scorpion, iguana, or spider.
Fire hoses are made out of tough material which allows them to withstand extreme heat and high pressure, making it a good choice for a dog toy. The seams aren’t exposed and are double-stitched to add a bit of longevity. These are perhaps less of a durable dog toy compared to others on this list, but dogs love to chew them, so they should keep your pup occupied for a bit.
This is a seriously tough toy. Both my dog and my neighbor’s dog had one, and even though the neighbor dog left his outside virtually all the time, it still held up to the abuse of multiple dogs. Roll it, toss it and tug it, it will stand up give you both hours of fun. You can even sort of use it as a Frisbee. Even if your dog manages to chew straight through it, it’s certainly cheap enough. In addition to this, there’s a tire & rope variant and a racing slicks version.
PetSafe is a maker of many trusted products, and a few durable dog toys. Available in three different sizes, this is a great toy for dogs that get bored, since it has a lot of textures and things to keep them busy. Great way to keep your pooch from chewing on things they shouldn’t. To be fair, anything with gaps is a prime candidate for being torn apart, but this should provide a bit more interest during the process. This one is refillable with rawhide rings.
Sometimes all it takes to make a cool dog toy is to combine two classics. This toy puts a large plastic ball on a tough rope so it can be used for fetch, tag and more. It floats in a water and doesn’t deflate, even if punctured. Choose from blue, purple, red, or light blue in three different sizes.
If you ask me, this is the ultimate in tug of war toys for your dog. While the standard rope toys have only knots or maybe a tennis ball for grip, this one goes all out, providing a durable rubber handle for you. My husky and blue nose could each pull a car if I let them, so I need a firm grip when playing tug with either of them. This provides that and has two ends so I can engage both of them at the same time (to the peril of my balance). This is available in three different sizes to match your dog.
Here’s another nifty ball toy, but not because of any additional features. The sole purpose of this one is to be indestructible. If your dog does manage to destroy it (which, let’s be honest, they probably will find a way), the company offers a lifetime replacement guarantee. These are roughly the size of a baseball and made to bounce.
What makes this a cool dog toy is that it emulates the smell and texture of a real stick without any of the splintering and mess. It lasts a lot longer, too. My dogs love these and tend to prefer them over similar Nylabone-style offerings.
They last a good long time and come in four different sizes to suit breeds of any size. Speaking of Nylabone, they make a similar toy made with real wood, if you want to consider that, as well.
These toys are made in the USA for medium and large breed dogs from super-tough megalastomer, hence the Megalast name. It’s a certified non-toxic toy that will give your dog long-lasting fun. It also bounces in crazy ways when you toss it.
If you don’t love the bone shape, you could also try the Megaball or Long Dog.
If you have a dog that shreds toys within minutes, you need to shop for some indestructible and durable options that will withstand the pressure.
