For toys, I definitely recommend Kong brand. My girl destroys any soft toy within minutes lol but Kong rubber toys work wonderfully. They have some that are like little puzzles that you can put treats in.
Antlers or anything harder! Which is pretty much all big bones, especially weight baring.
We use turky necks, chicken cages, kangaroo tails (all raw great for their teath) and occasionally goat horns if need something not-meaty to keep his attention (similar to antlers but a bit softer so less likely to chip tooth)
highly recommend the bark super chewer box. itās been saving me money because the other super chewer toys or kong extreme are about 16-20 a piece anyway. they can still destroy some so definitely monitor and take away if they are looking like theyāre eating it. it does include nylabone type toys which many vets donāt recommend (worked for a vet dentist and the general rule is donāt give them anything so hard that you canāt push it in with a thumbnail) but i take my chances with my girl zora bc iām pretty sure her teeth are stronger than nylabones. the ones i really avoid due to seeing lots of tooth fractures are deer antlers and larger bones. not worth it in my opinion.
besides bark box: kong extreme, the yak cheese chews are the best chews and toys. avoid rope, avoid bully sticks (just my opinion and experience guys- we see A LOT of pets in the ER with upset stomachs or foreign bodies bc they swallowed a piece too large- just the other week a puppy had one stuck all the way from its stomach to its esophagus.)
Toy wise. Either buy cheap at a place like Ross or Marshallās. They usually run $6-8. Cheap compared to a pet store. If he is anything like my girl they are only going to last like 10-15 minutes anyway so save some money. Petsmart does have 1 type of toy that lasts and thatās the Joy Hound Rip Roaring. Theyāre arenāt cheap but while no other toy has lasted longer than 30 minutes, some of these have lasted months.
My boy loves to chew so I get him nylabones. They last a while and I usually throw them out once he whittles it down to a prison shank. I also subscribe to the Bark Box super chewer box for him. Both of my dogs love the new monthly toys and they can destuff as many of them as they want.
dawg-nut makes a very tough donut shaped chew toy. they last us a while. benebones are also pretty solid bones. just gotta make sure to throw them away when they get small and pointy.
Honestly my pup can chew through Kong too, but his favorite toy in the world is this thing made of recycled fire hose. We have a figure 8 thing he loves, but it looks like they donāt sell that anymore. Regardless Iāll add the link: [https://tugandgo.com/](https://tugandgo.com/)

Bully sticks for sure. Theyāre pretty long lasting, ~15 min or so. Bestbullysticks.com has the best price and quality.
For some serious firepower get the marrow bones from Jack and pup. Those things are fucking beefy.
Knee caps are great but my pup has swallowed a pretty big piece whole when it get small so careful with that.
just no cooked bones! I buy beef ribs (not real meaty!) and separate them, freeze them and give one to be eaten outside! An easy healthy treat to make is canned pumpkin, egg, flour, peanut butter....mix into a stiff dough and bake in small shapes in a slow oven till crisp. Store covered and can last a long time.

Mine loves the bobble one that's plastic and you load with treats for them to bap or nudge around to get the treats.
All the toys All the bones Nothing less is acceptable.
yep š Nothing less is acceptable.
If your bud is aggressive chewer, stay away from antlers. A broken tooth isnt cheap or fun for either of you.

Wobble Kong, diff than regular, flirt pole to wear out between walks. Tons of excercise. A tired pup is a happy pup.

Stay away from bones/antlers, etc. they will cause teeth damage ($$$). Bully sticks are better alternatives. Also avoid rawhide.
He's stunning š

No cooked bones. Seriously, none. Raw bones are fine but keep them in the freezer before giving them out.
Post more pictures!!! Heās adorable š
Buy raw marrow bones from your local butcher or market
Not too many, they are really rich.
True. My dog either gets the shits or pukes after eating a raw or even leftover cooked bone. Every single time š¤¦š¼āāļøš

"Jawz" is the frisbee company
so weird. but my pibble is OBSESSSEDD with the spikey colored balls at tractor supply.

My dog loves pig ears, and I hear they're a lot safer than bones or rawhide. Gives him something crunchy to chew on for a while.
KONG Brand is great. Beds, harnesses, interactive toys etc &they last
petstages super dogwood. Tricky trainers for crunchy, buddies or zukes for soft
Mammoth tirebiter was the only toy my girl Peach didnāt destroy, and kong with peanut butter as others have said
[Benebones from Chewy](https://www.chewy.com/brands/benebone-6513) or Amazon Kong products
Chuckit balls seem to last the longest with my destroyers. Also deer antlers are good.
Big raw meaty bones that will keep him occupied. If you get marrow bones, ask them to saw them up so he can get at the marrow

Elk antlers are the best bones
