What kinds of chew toys are best for my dog?




I have a 2 1/2 year old pitt bull-boxer mix. He LOVES to chew on soft dog toys (like stuffed animal kinds of things) but he tears them to pieces in minutes and I don’t want him to get sick from swallowing anything (even though I always supervise him). What kinds of toys would be good? I’ve given him nyla bones, kongs, and tennis balls but he just doesn’t seem to care about them. Thanks.
Thanks for all the great advice!!

How do I get my dog to stop shredding her bed?




I crate my dog and I try to put a dog bed in there for her so she has something soft to lay on but every time I do I come home and the bed is completely ripped apart. I’ve tried blankets, dog beds, furry pads, supposedly indestructable beds and yet she has ripped every single one apart. She has bones and kongs and toys in there for her to pass the time, but it doesn’t help.
She’s in there for 8 hrs while I’m at work.
She will be 2 in April and we do take her to our local dog park to get exercise. I cannot take her to work and there is nothing wrong with keeping a dog in a crate.
