Tuff Toys from Pets at Home

Bought Logan a new toy last weekend. A piece of nylon rope (black and yellow) with a tennis ball attatched either end. Thought it would be nice to take on walks. Nope.....what a waste of money. It was only 3 quid but he's destroyed it within 3 hours!

The packaging had a 4 out o 5 rating for 'tuffness'. Well, not tuff enough for a staffy!! Dont waste your money!!!

Been there done that, actually we have a monthly shopping trip for toys, only for all to be destucted on the same day, oh well she still likes to chew the scraps, her toy bag makes her look like an orphan!

I had these for Milly and she did the same

Anything with a tennis ball Blue normally destroys straight away.
I bought him some tennis balls once for a game of fetch. I threw it.......it ran after it.......ate it in 5 seconds...................then ran back to me wanting another treat.
Wouldn't mind but I only took 1 ball and it took us 20 mins to walk there. I thought......yeah well done Blue thats that idea out of the window

I don't even bother with "tough" toys any more, Molly can have a brick as her next toy!

If you get the "indistructable tyre" they last quite a While,don't be me wrong there is only a couple of small bits left but he has had it since about 4 months old! Don't know where we got it from though!! And the big nylon beef bone is lasting well so far!! That's from pets at home!

Nylabones are ok, Molly's not that interested in them. We've avoided the tyres as a friends Lab ripped one of those up, so we decided to avoid those.

Dempsey has a nylabone that he's had now for about 3 months. It's getting quite damaged now & we'll need to replace it soon.

As for the tyre - we bought one from Pets At Home & Dempsey destroyed it in 2 days. I'd buy a proper tyre, but they're too big - I don't have a huge house or huge garden!

His tyre has lasted well! Wasn't one of the soft ones,he is chewing it as we speak!

Dempsey's wasn't one of the soft ones - indestructible my a**e!

I know I wanted to take it back after a day when the side Walls were all missing and ask for another!!

Do you think they'd have believed that you bought it like that but didn't notice?

Molly has a motorbike tyre, it works great!

Gonna get him a tyre when i can leave him in the garden to keep him busy. He has nylabones too which he does like. He like soft toys at the min!

I got a wheel barrow tyre for taz just the right size really if their whole without a tear they last pretty long but once they get a hole init the dogs expose it and tear it up Taz did have a full Tyre now he only got Half lol but it has lasted him a few months so can't complain.

Yea we've got a motorbike tyre as well x

wee rubber balls out wilkinsons are all i buy now there solid and i get sometimes a week worht of walks out of dakota's and 3 days from shadys only £1 each and the same balls are £3 at p.a.h

I got Ty a rope with ball on the end from pets at home took him to the park the day we got it swong and threw it the ball went in 1 direction and the rope in the other and Ty chased the rope as you do lol the ball was never found and never even slobberd on by Ty lol. I like the idea of a tyre though I may get him 1.

All my dogs have had tyres (without the wire through them), put them over the concrete fence post and they pull for hours on them. Hollie's a little bit too young for them at the mo, she prefers her frisbee and kong.
My jeans got a bit ragged so I cut them into strips and plaited them, she loves to chew them as well, (free toys) bargain...

I just got three rubber balls really big really hard for all three of them to have one each and what do they do...they all want what the other one got....their all the same

blue is funny!!!!

I got a rubber tug toy from the Bull Terrier people at the last show we went to. "Is it bully-proof?" I asks, "Well, mine haven't damaged their one yet, and they've had it for months & months" she says in reply.

Good, I thought, I'll get it. Only £5.99 - worth it if it's as good as she says!

That was a fortnight ago. Dempsey was given it to play with on the sunday & he'd eaten the handle off it by monday. ~

I dont think ive ever had one staffy proof toy.The only thing thats kind of survived is a nylabone,but shes made short work out of those too.She has a lot of soft toys that seem to do ok,but they get shredded to bits when shes on a mad one.I had to buy a sewing kit to keep stitching back together her favorites lol.

Same here. Nylabone is more of a sharp edged nylastick but he has had it for a few months so well worth the £10.
Best thing ever is still the Kong. Used so many times and it's still in perfect condition
