Toys for a 14 wk pup and 7yr old toy chewer!

We have a 7yr old patterdale/springer cross - she's great, really well behaved, great at being left etc. They only thing is she will destroy all toys, except for Kongs which she buries and loses.....

We've recently got a 14 week dachshund / crocodile!!

Any recommendations for toys that will be suitable for both of them??

Nylabones are pretty robust but I have to warn you that two of my Skyes actually ATE a couple of these that were supposed to be for the likes of Rottweilers Grin

Oh, & they were the biggest size of those!
Lots of people recommend antlers but I had a dog break a tooth on one of those so I avoid them now.

Yakstick?
Tuff toy tyres very popular here too
My cockerdile is very fond of his rubber treat snake. I can stuff it with food for enrichment vor he can just chomp it.

Just a tip, latex toys tend to last longer than rubber ones.

I really don't rate rubber or plastic toys for dogs - if they manage to chew through them and swallow a piece you could end up with a very, very poorly dog.

As far as possible go for something natural - buffalo skin, pizzle sticks, cows ears, yak chews, beef trachea, cows hooves, braided ostrich, beef skin, raw bones, deer legs or tendons. There is so much choice out there.

I know lots of people go for plastic or rubber as they find the idea of "body parts" off putting but they're so much safer than encouraging your dog to chew on bits of plastic.
