Good toys for Greyhounds: Any good ideas for toys for a greyhound?

My grey LOVES squeaky toys of all kinds.. I find the air kong squeaker balls and other shapes (like the football) to be very entertaining for him (even after he breaks the squeak). He is also a pretty strong chewer, so loves a good nylabone (I think I buy the Wolf size) - he also is a total treat hound, so his kong is one of his favorite things in the world... I tried the tricky treat ball, which he liked, but started to chew on...so that one has been in the closet mostly...hope that helps

My dog is able to destroy pretty much anything, but she can't destroy this kong. It would be a good investment. However, be ready to fill it up often if your dog is anything like mine. Sometimes I just put it away so she doesn't consume too many goodies. The biggest is the best and make sure it is black.

My dog is a small dog (10#) and has not destroyed this toy yet and she has destroyed other plush toys in the past. It seems well constructed and has given her many, many hours of fun! Since it's not terribly expensive, I think it's worth a try - but for sure go for the jumbo size. I have the large for my small dog, but I think the large for a bigger dog could become a choking hazard.

Stop wasting your money on toys for the Pit Bulls. If they are anything like mine nothing holds up. I have found a tennis ball is good for awhile but if they get some time with it it's gone. Like the others said a Nylabone is a good choice and I have found the marrow bones from the grocery store are good but my male can crush right through them if he can't reach the marrow. Just watch them if you give them the marrow bones. I have spent so much on toys and they destroy them all. Nylabone, tennis ball, marrow bones for the pitters. They love them.

Thank you. My dog is large too, and she likes playing with toys and explore things. For some reason the Kong doesn't impress her.

I think they're too young for it,plus my girl doesn't pay much attention to it. She likes the round wooden toy with the holes that you put in treats, then close them up with either a sliding cover or a block that fits in the hole. It's on Amazon too.

I launch the Varsity ball like a bowling ball and my Aussie herds it all over the yard. He has a great herding instinct and played with it right away. I'm not sure how to teach them to herd it. You might try putting something that tastes good on a spot- like peanut butter?

We do carry several cat toys that may be more durable. If your cat is very active, I would suggest a lazer pointer.

Maybe try kicking it for your dog to chase after. Maybe if you start out playing with it with him he'll become more interested & enjoy it. My dog absolutely loves it.

Maybe you can ask again and see what the weight is. That seemed to be the problem for our dog. It is a big chunk of solid. I gave my away to a friend with a bigger dog, or I'd check for you. It was too heavy for out 9# maltese. Robert is right -- it's not too expensive, so if it works, you'd have a great toy, and if it doesn't, it wasn't a big investment, and you could gift elsewhere.

yes! as long as you give them other items to chew. I give my dog a rawhide or bone to chew to ease frustration. Use it as a fetch toy and they should respond. My dog loves it. Its a tough ball.

yes, my dog loves this toy so much that I have to hide it between play sessions. He loves to dig and dig to find the treat. Good exercise.

I think the size of the dog (girth, length of body and legs) is more important than it's weight. The smaller bed would be cozy if your dog curls up alot and isn't very large. Our Italian Greyhound weighs about 20 pounds. His body and legs are long. He has alot of room to stretch out, which he does daily. I purchased the large because the price was too good to pass up (supposedly slightly used, but smelled and looked like new). I might have been able to choose the smaller size. I hope this helps.

I can't imagine what to do! My pug has loved it from the beginning. We had to replace it several times because it's torn up. She takes all her toys in there and hides things she's not supposed to have in there. Maybe just give him time and he'll get used to it...?

Yes, our border terrier and mastiff only have west paw toys and nylabones because they last. That said if they sit and chew for an hour, they might get into it partially.

I wouldn't recommend it for a Dane. (I love Great Danes; I used to have one!) Have you looked into water buffalo and/or elk antlers? There are some really large ones out there, and that would be appropriate. Also, Mighty Toys (VIP Products) has some really durable large toys that your Dane would probably enjoy.

I do NOT recommend the Kong Beaver toy. It is very small and will be shredded within a few minutes. The best toy that I have found is the KONG Wubba toy. My dogs love it and it can really take punishment!
