NWR: furbabies. We love our Jolly Ball!

Erin, on August 9, 2016 at 4:52 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 32

Toy tip for active puppers! Yesterday I picked up a "Jolly Ball" for our labs. Chloe just can't get enough! They're 70 and 90 pound destruction machines, and this has (so far) been the best toy. Does anyone have other recommendations for tough toys for hyper doggies?

    What a cutie!! Does she like to chew? Antlers are the greatest thing I've discovered! They can be pricey ($20-30 each), but they last SO long, are healthy for the dogs, and they just get smaller overtime - they don't splinter or break!

    Not so much her, but our male does! We had an antler before, maybe it's time to invest in another one.

    Following!

    This is my lab and he destroys toys in 5 minutes.

    I've never heard of that one!

    We have tried like, a thousand toys. This one seem pretty rough and tumble.

    Your boy looks a lot like my Cooper! What a sweetie pie.

    I've actually heard antlers were good to get. Where do you buy Lynnie?

    I gave my girl Kevlar once - it was destroyed in 10 minutes.

    You know, it's a little sad, but her favorite toy is a piece of 4x4 oak board. She cannot make a dent in it and it drives her NUTS.

    When I first read this I thought the toys were 70-90 pounds... My baby girl actually really loves these bones from Target that look like sticks and I think they're made with real sticks in them or something. She goes through one every couple of months or so. She's around the same size as your babies. She also loves her "nerf dog". It's like a sling shot nerf toy. But, that's fabric so she ruins that pretty quickly and I keep patching it up.

    ETA: Oh! And hockey pucks! Pretty indestructible!

    We buy the 'tuff toys' (I think that's what they are called) and he destroys those after about a week and they are like $15. It drives me nuts.

    I agree with Lynnie about the antlers. I get them from walmart, or you can even find them cheaper sometimes at overstock-type stores like Marshalls and Ross. I have a beagle and she chews absolutely everything. Antlers have saved our furniture.

    PS to anyone who BUYS antlers:

    If you live anywhere with deer (or elk) - and I mean ANYWHERE, find out when your shed hunting season is, go out to where you saw the bucks hanging out, and then pick them up. Off the ground. For free.

    I bought Fela a Gonut and it has lasted over 2 years. Nothing more than a few small tooth marks. I bought an Orbie ball and it lasted a few months. Antlers are always a goo go-to as well. Just get the high quality ones.

    My grandpa used to hunt deer and has boxes full of antlers! We saw pieces off for our Loki every once in awhile and he LOVES them! Raw hides also keep him busy for awhile! We also get the big, thicker Kong toys for him. He's a 5 month old boxer border collie mix and is the cutest! He loves to chew, though!

    The ball on bought was on sale at Fleet Farm for $10. Score! It is strictly an outside toy, but they bite, chew, and fight over it and it seems to be holding up way better than any other rubber toys we have tried. @MTBAKennedy Hockey pucks are a great idea!

    My babies LOVE Jolly Balls! I bought one for my horse.. didn't even make it to the barn, the dogs claimed it! My puppy loves those tough black Kong toys now too

    I avoid giving my dogs hard things like bones and antlers now, my big boy had a slab fracture in a canine tooth - very costly extraction so we avoid those now

    @bailey, I LOVE the wiggle giggle ball, but my pittie / boxer cross kills those in seconds.

    when you guys get the antlers always get darker ones. they are fresher and "tastier"

    Water Buffalo horn! Got one for my brother's Pittie one (since he literally destroyed an antler in like 5 minutes flat) and it's going on 5 years of chewing lol.

    Right now Groot (my Cocker Spaniel) is into his Kong, Nylabones, and these food dispensing toys I found on Amazon. He won't eat out of bowl anymore haha.
