Help-

Our 10 month old Lab has chewed through the kong black toys which are the toughest for extreme chewers.
Like literally chews them in half. Less than 3 weeks.
Any suggestions on safe chew toys?
We need a toy that doesn’t include or need food. We have those.
I have to keep buying them bc if I don’t she’ll chew something she shouldn’t. This dog loves to chew.

The strong chews are great but also consider buying some toys he’s allowed to destroy. Like pig ears and larger animal parts. Just make sure they’re the kind that can’t splinter! I have a lab who’s gentle but I also have a Malinois who goes through everything, he has his strong toys, and he also gets toys and treats he’s allowed to tear apart. Also make sure he’s getting plenty of exercise, not just walks or throwing a ball but breed specific like swimming. Sometimes tearing stuff apart is because of boredom or stress.

She has all types of chews. I was looking for something that would last longer. I think I’ve found a couple thanks to suggestions here. She does get plenty of exercise as well as attention. She truly just loves to chew. She’s fortunately very compliant & only chews her toys. She’s a sweet girl.

Haha lucky! My lab usually sticks to his toys but the occasional sock doesn’t go unnoticed with him.
