Kong Toy Alternatives?

[Persian Spitz]

Those rubber Kong toys where you can put the treats inside are pretty tough. My boy has one and after three weeks it's still pretty much in its original condition. His normal stuffed toys, ropes, balls have a lifespan of about three days and they'd be destroyed.

How many of these Kong toys should one dog have to keep him amused?

Is there a cheaper alternative to Kong toys that are just as durable?

[Jacquiboss&scoop]

We have four different ones , we rotate them every few days , there are not many toys as strong as them that are less expensive but there are a lot just as expensive that do not last as long ,

We also have a few of the el chepo rope ones as well without the expectation that they will last very long and the rottie has taken ownership of a long section of irrigation piping , her fav toy to play tug with "sigh"

they do save you from buying an endless round of dog toys , even though you spend more in one hit you dont have to do it anywhere near as often

If you are looking for something durable you can't go past the Tug-a-jug or the Orbo toys

Tuffie toys are good for durable soft toys, but expensive http://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/Products/Tuffie-Toys
