Searching for an Annabel-proof toy

Our seven-month-old chocolate Lab/ Golden Retriever mix is a chewing machine! The first day we brought her home she seriously chewed through the molding and dry wall. She has progressively gotten better and for the most part, only chews the things we give her, such as toys... which is where our problem lies. We have yet to find a toy she can not destroy within 24 hours. Indestructible they may be, but are they Annabel proof? Not so much. We have tried many of these "indestructible" toys and find we just keep wasting our money. We want to make sure she has things she can play with, but we also want to keep her safe, no choking for this pup! Any one have any similar stories and solutions that have worked? We're quickly drowning in a sea of headless stuffed animals and half eaten ropes!

  1. there is no tough toy! like you our dog has defied all the toymaker claims of being indestructable.We just have a toy basket full of strange chewed objects with any potentially dangerous bits removed!

  2. Same here, nothing is indestructible, not even the black Kong.
    I just tell my Stafford "NO WRECKING" when I catch her, & she stops, but is likely to sneak off with it & continue destroying it, luckily only her own toys, she'll never touch anything that isn't hers.

    Good luck Suzi
