Dog toys for Duke

Hi Pets.ca,

Duke is 5 year old male black lab with a lot of energy and his Kong toy is coming to the end of it's life. I will get Duke a new Kong toy, but can anyone recommend other toys that are extremely durable and great for big strong dogs. I'd like to give Duke more toy variety.

Thanks everybody!

We have a Buster Cube that's very durable, as well. You fill it with a little of their kibble or some small treats and as the dog rolls it around, the food comes out a little at a time. Our dogs love to bat that thing around in the yard. We've had ours for over 10 years now and no one has managed to destroy it

If you Google 'Buster Cube' you can find a lot of info. This one was a nice demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPVyX5ilj3g

For my cattle dogs I like the Cuz ball more than the Kong. Roo has an assortment though. A wubba, some big tug ropes, a Kong Frisbee etc..

These are really great ideas and I may spend a few dollars to buy Duke a selection of toys from this list.

Thank-you many times over
