If your dog tears apart every toy he can get his mouth on, you aren’t alone. It’s a struggle many dog owners face.
You bring home a new toy, toss it to your pup and 5 minutes later you have a shredded mess.
It is so frustrating, especially when dog toys can cost $10, $20 or more!
I’m laughing as I type that because our dog Bear can destroy a toy in less than 60 seconds. Any dog toy that is soft and plush, he feels the need to shred that thing to pieces.
One of my jobs as a volunteer at the Humane Society is to pass out toys to the dogs. More than half of the dogs aren’t allowed to have soft toys because they shred them, which causes a choking hazard. And believe it or not, I’ve even seen some Kong’s with pieces chewed off!
No dog toy can be 100% indestructible, because the reality is that some dogs can chew through just about anything put in front of them. But I did find four companies (listed below) that offer a lifetime guarantee!
It’s important to remember to never leave your dog alone with a new toy without knowing if he can shred it and swallow any pieces that could cause harm.
So, I decided to go out and ask our community… what their dogs’ favorite indestructible toys are? So here we go, dog-tested, and parent-approved.
You can find the entire list of toys in my Amazon Indestructible Dog Toys shopping list here.

Kong Extreme Toys for the Heaviest Chewer
1. Kong Extreme
The Kong Extreme is a favorite for any heavy chewer. We love filling it with peanut butter, treats and other yummy foods, and then freezing it for long-lasting entertainment for your dog. Kong has recipes on their website or do a search on Pinterest to find some unique ideas.
Plus, Kong does have a 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. For this reason, I recommend any Kong dog toy or chew. Kong does have different levels of durability. So look for the “Extreme” label.
2. KONG Tires Extreme Dog Toy
The Kong Tire is another great power chew toy that can be used to fill treats in, or play fetch with. We bought this one for our dog Bear and he loves it. We simply roll it down a hill and he goes crazy for chasing it.
3. Kong Flyer
What I like most about this frisbee is that is soft to catch. The hard plastic frisbees are hard on our dogs mouth, so much so that occasionally I will notice his mouth bleeding.
With the Kong Flyer, it’s not only tough but easy on his mouth and teeth. While this is not a Kong Extreme labeled toy, it has lasted us for years.
This is not meant to be a chew toy, so do not allow your dog to play alone with this flyer. It is meant to be an interactive toy for you and your dog to enjoy together.

If your dog likes to chew on bones, then this is Kong Dog Goodie Bone is a winner. You can play fetch with it, or let your dog go full force on chewing!
5. KONG Extreme Ball Dog Toy
This Kong ball comes in two sizes, making it a great option for any size dog. If your dog loves to play ball, but doesn’t always like to bring it back like our pup, Ginger… then the Kong Extreme ball would be perfect so she doesn’t chew the ball to pieces.

How do I get my dog to stop destroying toys?
Start by asking WHY your dog is destroying his toys. Is your dog bored? Or maybe just being a typical puppy?
Most dog toys are designed to be interactive with you, not to be left alone with the dog. So if you didn’t notice with the list of indestructible dog toys above, most of them are meant for chewing on.
If your dog is destroying toys because he’s bored, the answer is simple… exercise your dog more. Take him for more walks, play dog puzzles together, and just spend more time together.
Indestructible Dog Toys with a Lifetime Guarantee
It’s hard to find a dog toy that carries a lifetime guarantee. I mean really, how can someone guarantee that a dog can’t tear a toy apart.
But I found four companies that stand behind their durable dog toys with a quality guarantee:
West Paw

If you are unhappy with the performance of a West Paw product, we’ll replace or refund your purchase. It really is that simple, easy, and hassle-free.”
