I have quite a few dog toy recommendations so I'll kept posting to this thread. I'm sorry if some of my recommendations are US specific. I will be posting links but I will have the name in case you need to find it elsewhere.
Feel free to post if you end up getting any of these.
My first recommendation for heavy chewers is the Super Chewer Bark box. I got a 6 month subscription while I was deep in boarding dogs as my house. It came in super handy to have lots of toys around and if they got chewed up it was no big deal because Bark box replaces them for free! Which I did have to do with one of them. I opted for a box that came with 4 toys instead of treats because of food allergies in my pups and the toys are what they really wanted.

Good idea for a thread. Who better to recommend dog toys than someone with real dog experience. If I toy survives your pack it must be a good toy.

You are like a dog toy testing site. You have dogs of different sizes and ages and temperaments. Any toy that survives that test is a strong toy.
I am guessing the one thing all dogs have in common is a love of chewing.
The Bark box sounds great. Having them replace toys must be a real saving for you and the dogs probably like getting new toys to chew.

Libby, with your wide experience, you could even start a commercial dog toy review site. Catherine and I have had to deal with a few fake review sites recently, so to have a real, genuine, one, written from experience, from someone we know can be trusted implicitly, would be great!

I was thinking companies should send their toys to you to have them dog tested.
Having you write reviews would help people looking for dog toys. I think you can find a way to do this. I know your dogs will be happy to help.

I've thought about doing that... Do the Instagram dog model thing. That's kinda what this thread will be just a less polished version.

Sounds good. I like looking at reviews of products. Having a dog toy review is a good idea. I look forward to seeing what you post. If I need to get a dog toy for someone I can see what you say about it. As someone without a dog, I have no idea what they would like.
