The best chew toys for heavy chewers
Sharp teeth are no match for flimsy dog toys, but even the toughest toys can be torn to shreds by an aggressive chewer. Providing your dog with plenty of chew toys is important because it helps keep his teeth clean, provides him with mental stimulation, and it satisfies his natural desire to chew. Plus, it keeps him away from your shoes.
In addition to reading reviews from other pet parents, we've tested these toys ourselves — well, our test dog has — so you can be confident in our choices.
Here are the best chew toys you can buy:
