KONG Classic Dog Toy

Ruffview

16 months Titan: Great for chewing, biting, throwing, catching, chasing, and chewing. Sometimes there is peanut butter in it so that’s cool. Bella: It’s like a red ball but the humans can’t throw it as far. Rorschach: So I’m familiar with a miniature eggshell blue version of this that the human fills with food and freeze to help soothe the torment of teething. The classic Kong is priced $5 to $20 depending on its size. Most dogs lose their Kong, I have one that is 12 years old. Best chew toy you can get your pet. We put Peanut butter, squeeze cheese or other food on them. We put tape on the top hole and put puppy food and water in one, then froze it to help puppies…

KONG Wild Knots Bear Dog Toy

Ruffview

Titan: Squeakers are easy to break but everything else is a challenge. I took care of their smiles though Bella: The humans don’t throw these toys so I don’t care for them Rorschach: Yes I understand the baby adores his teddy bear. You are quite humorous. Understand these are the few toys the Canis lepophagus can’t destroy so I have to appreciate them. Chewy was selling these bears for $2.30, how can you pass up that. I'm in disbelief of how long these bears have lasted. They are normally priced from $5 to $8 and are a buy at both prices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D73B3qEVmQo

KONG® Cozie Spunky Monkey Dog Toy

Ruffview

Titan: The humans won't let me play with it. Bella: Squeakers fun to play with but it eventually broke on me. Rorschach: One of my initial toys that I have grown quite fond of due to its durability. As you will see in the video below, most toys become tugs for our dogs. This little monkey by Kong has stood up to this type of play for four months and he is still going. We have not let Titan test it because it's one of Rorschach's favorite toys. Looking at its makeup we believe this monkey would be terminated if given to Titan. The cozy monkey costs $4 - $11. At $4 it's a hot deal and must pay for any dog that likes squeakers and isn't…

Outward Hound Invincibles Squeaker Palz Gator Dog Toy

Ruffview

10/16/2017 update. Rorschach has learned from Titan. Titan: I only got to play with this for a few minutes before the humans took it away but it was awesome I took its head off. Bella: This toy is fun but it’s not a ball so it’s okay. Rorschach: I love this toy, each squeaker holds my attention hostage till I start masticating. Rorschach played with this toy for a month before Titan got his mouth on it. After a half hour with Titan, the head was off and de-fluffed. There was a different type of squeaker in the head that was pretty hard to get to work but the dogs loved that one the most. Titan…

Bully Stick

Ruffview

Titan: Greatest chew in the world. I can eat a 3-foot long stick in 2 hours. Bella: I only like chews when the other dogs are around Rorschach: Simply Superb Salavating Snack. There are only two problems with the bully stick they are pricey and you have to limit their use. Every time that we bring some bully sticks home we have to ration them out or they will not last to the end of the day. The dogs go insane for these treats and I personally have seen Titan go through a 4-foot long bully stick within a day. They were often a useful product for Titan while he was teething and helped curb his destructive chewing. You can see how much they love the sticks by the amount…

KONG Jumbler Ball Dog Toy

Ruffview

Titan: One of my Favorites, it’s a toy that can be destroyed and you still get a toy out of it. Bella: I got to play with this twice before titan destroyed it. Rorschach: The fact that humans would put a ball within a ball still perplexes me. If it’s a built in redundancy that would be genius but it just seems to be a way to encourage the dog to tear apart their toy. I'm very disappointed in this Kong product. Selling for $8 - $12, it is the only Kong product I've bought that has broken in under an hour. Three bites and the squeaker was gone, within ten it had already torn open. We tried our best to show the damage done by Titan to this…

Ethical Pet Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Puzzle Dog Toy

Ruffview

Titan: It’s a giant chunk of wood that you can chew on so it’s perfect. Bonus: occasionally has treats in it. Bella: It’s a simple toy but not really worth all the work since I move the whole thing every time I mean to move a piece. Rorschach: This was my introduction to puzzle toys and it ignited the flame within me to decoded enigmas in this universe. This is a toy you can teach your dog to play. It does make them think. This is not a toy to leave your dog alone with. They will try to chew the moving circles off the bone. It's priced between $7 to $12. We got it for $7. We thought the German Shepherds would like…

Starmark Everlasting Bento Ball with Dental Treat Dog Chew Toy, Large

Ruffview

Titan: Was a great treat, Don’t quite understand the rubber parts of it but still cool. Bella: It’s a good concept but food doesn’t exit the bottom so you have to keep buying the big treats Rorschach: Let me state that I had no intention to amuse my self with such a tawdry toy. So I was not offended when titan broke it in preparation for my visit. Worthless is all I can say. Save your money.

JW Pet Rockin’ Treat Ball

Ruffview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nvw4rXdCyQ Titan: It’s a ball that gives you food if you need anything else in life something is wrong with you Bella: The quality of the treats really dropped after the first few days Rorschach: The treats came out too easily so the humans stopped using it. Price between $8 to $20, this is a must buy at the $8 price. If you put a 1 by 1 treat in it, it will take 30 to 40 minutes for your dog to get all the treats out. It is a durable toy for any dog that likes to work for a treat.

Outward Hound Hide A Squirrel

Ruffview

Titan: Very smart choice buying the squirrels in bulk, more for me to tear. Bella: I like playing tug with the tree trunk. Rorschach: Finding each squirrel was a treat until the brute tore them apart. I got this on sale for $12, it was a great price for six squirrels and a tree trunk. A few of the squirrels are still loose around the house and sometimes a squeaker in a squirrel will work. He looked this toy a lot. For twelve dollars it is a strong buy. As you can tell by the videos most toys become tug toys when dog friends are around. We've had this toy for three months now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sODBsCqsyiE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCYXDxi-DiY
