My dog destroys toys. Best durable toys for boredom when I'm at work?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 18 lbs

My dogs chew up their toys so fast I don’t even know if I should spend money on buying them. What can I do to prevent boredom while I’m away for work? Also is there any products that are pretty durable and “indestructible”? My dogs get eventually get tired of nylabones too.

Have a few toys at home but only give 1-2 at a time. Change it out every day for a different set to prevent boredom. You can try kongs or the type of toys that are puzzles and release food every time they figure it out. Instead of bones, invest into water buffalo horns or elk antlers, they are much more durable
