    Default "Virtually Indestructible" My Ass...

    So, Lola - my JRT - has been a little bored since she's by herself. We walk 2 or 3 times a day but I decided to take her shopping at Petco for a new chew toy.

    She seemed very fond of a squeaky Kong toy. The Kong stuff generally holds up pretty well. "Virtually indestructible" it said on the label except "by all but the most powerful chewers". $7.99...sounded like a pretty good deal.

    Turns out it was a little more than a dollar per minute in Terrier chew time. Destroyed to the point it needed to be thrown away...the pieces I could find, anyway.

    I should've known it was bullshit when I saw the French writing on the label.

    My lab destroyed the red Kongs in minutes when he was little so I tried out the black Super Duty Kongs and he smoked through those as well. After much trial and error, and colorful rubber laced yard bombs, I found that the yellow Brine (not red, blue, pink or whatever, and not Warrior) lacrosse balls are the most chew proof option. They're way cheaper than Kong stuff too. Good luck!

    Try having a pit... I offered the latest and greatness indestructible toy a chance to product test after my dog dismantled their toy for exceptionally strong chewers... Never heard back.

    He hasn't destroyed more than two of the large black kongs.. I learned to stuff them with pb and freeze it. Keeps him going for a few hours and then he has no interest once the pb is gone.

    He's gone through tires... Fire hoses.. Nylabones, and antlers last an hour maybe...

    Lmao that's funny as shit. My JRT (rip) use to take his brothers toys out of their mouths and just shred the shit out of whatever it was, balls, plastic toys, stuffed animals. He actually had one toy that he never tore up but he did perform surgery on it to remove the noise maker. JRT's are a blast.

    Apparently, they didn't put up much resistance.

    Nobody forces the French to surrender...well, maybe the occasional JRT.

    Our pit has no interest in Kong toys. He prefers stuffed chew toys that he can rip the head off and pull all of the stuffing out. It's kind of disturbing.

    I stopped buying stuffed toys for that reason. They lasted minutes before I was cleaning stuffing off of everything. I also no longer have feather pillows.
