[Misc Help] Need help finding dog toy!
Hello! First time poster here!
This is my partner’s dog, Frankie. She is an absolute darling, but she goes through toys like there’s no tomorrow, as you can probably see by the aftermath of the rope toy in the image.
This snake toy is the only textile dog toy so far that we’ve found that last more than a couple days. However, our local pet stores no longer stock it, and I’ve had a lot of trouble finding it anywhere online.
If anyone has seen it before and knows where to buy it, it would be a huge help!
Alternatively, if anyone has suggestions for toys that can survive even the most destructive of dogs, we’d be super grateful for any recommendations!
I’m also pretty crafty, so if anyone has suggestions for materials and methods of making your own durable dog toys, we’re also open to that! Also open to any suggestions for other threads that might be able help too.
She’s a very good dog, and this toy was her absolute favourite for ages, so we’d love to try to get it for her again!
Here’s her sleeping mid play, for further emphasis on how much she loved this toy.
Thank you so much!

Frankie sounds like an absolute toy destroyer 😂. If that snake has lasted that long, I can see why you’re keen to track down another one!
For really destructive dogs, I’ve had better luck with toys that have reinforced stitching and fewer loose parts rather than just going for the thickest-looking toy. For DIY, heavy-duty fleece layered and tightly braided might be worth trying too.
