Best chew toys and toys for a lab puppy

[myfitbitisfucked]

We get our lab girl puppy in three weeks time.
Can I ask for recommendations for kong or other type puppy chew toys etc?

Get the black Kong for powerful chewers. Think mine's a large and we get through one a year. This puppy liked soft toys but his predecessor disemboweled them with costly regularity.

Nylabones are good; again get big ones. The wishbone-shaped ones last better.
Puppy is now nearly four and has a Benebone giant fishbone which needs replacing. It's the same sort of material as Nylabone.
The only squeaky toys that stood the course are Good Boy squeaky vegetables from Tesco - I couldn't find them anywhere else. The sweetcorn and carrots have provided hours of fun.
Outside toys when he was tiny were large flowerpots and plastic milk bottles.

Raw carrots and raw broccoli are great. Can be a little messy but cheap and great for their teeth. Almost all labs love a raw carrot.

Can relate to the disembowling.
our ‘pup’ is now two and a half and still loves this past time.
he’s a Weimaraner so not a little dog and we’ve given up spending £££ on apparently indestructible toys.
he likes anything with a squeaker in until he gets the squeaker out (anything from five minutes to a few hours).

His favourites are soft toys so we go to the charity shops once a month to stock up. Usually he’ll find one in the pile that he’ll adopt as his baby and this lucky one might last a few weeks, or even once a few months.
his toy box is full of beheaded stuflless teddies, but when I try and do a clear out he will literally take them out of the rubbish bag and put them back so obviously he has an emotional attachment to each and every one.
He’ll root through them all, spitting them out until he gets the one that he wants.
usually the one at the bottom of the box 😝

My previous Lab could locate the squeak and remove it from any toy in under thirty seconds.
Yes, don't buy anything advertised as indestructible!

My latest lab pup seems to be an outlier as she isn't a chewer. Her absolute favourite thing is an old Croc shoe, I think it soothes her while teething, so anything with that rubbery/silicone feel has gone down well.

I got my then 18 month old lab X from dog rescue and she quickly but with surgical precision disembowelled any soft toys to remove the squeak. Then she would systematically pull all the innards out - kept her occupied for days! Now she's three she still picks seams and removes the stuffing by swinging said toy violently Its very sweet!

The only thing I did was not buy her a toy eg cat, duck that she might see when out on a walk and thus want to chase/disembowel especially if we called it "your cat toy" "Duck toy" just in case she can understand English.

Thank you for all your very helpful advice and expert experience! Much appreciated and I am now doing some recommended online and actual shopping
