So my year and a half old lab has decided she wants to start chewing everything in sight, from coke cans to the bed spread to her own bed.

I usually have chew toys around for her, but she destroys them in a couple of hours. Anyone got a good recommendation for a resilient chew toy for a lab?

She's bored.

Mine has the large rawhides that is a single sheet rolled up. They are about 10-12 inches long.

It takes him a few hrs to get through one.

I've always used the cow chews and a arse whipping when they chew the wrong things. That usually solved the problem. I let them chew cans. Still amazed me how they could destroy a can and never cut their mouth.

Any kind of antlers. I haven't tried them yet but antlers are supposed to be one of best things for dogs to chew on.

ETA: And kong extreme toys

I have one lab that won't chew anything you don't specifically give him and I had another lab that would tear up anything she could find.

I even poured tabasco sauce over the outside water faucet covers during the winter and she still tore them up.

The only thing that would occupy her for any strech of time were HUGE rawhide chews or one of the big cow/pig legbones you can buy at pet supply stores.

My catahoula has destroyed the Kong toys but it took him a while. Cow femurs work great for chew toys.

Kong toys lasted about 1 hour at my house... the tear them in little pieces.

I put pam and then Cayenne on things I dont want them chewing.

I get those huge bones from walmart to put in their kennels.

Buddy of mine gives his lab one of the massive raw hides when he leaves for work. Usually gone by 500, her favorite toys are a deflated basketball, and a milk crate. She did spend a good bit of time on an old utility trailer tire that I had when I was watching her though.

ETA bitter yuck works pretty good for getting them to leave stuff alone.

Antlers > All . They are the only thing that my dog cannot destroy immediately. They sell them at pet stores for 10-20 dollars, and they are usually just 1 tine, couldn't spend any more money to "test" something, so I sawed the antlers off of an old 6 pt. skull and it has worked great.

I gave mine a piece of firewood on the porch the other day. She was content for hours.

Some guy at the pet store sold me on one of the kong plush toys that supposedly was indestructible.

Willis, my Boykin, had fuzz/stuffing everywhere within of 5 minutes

Y'all might laugh, but take an old t-shirt and tie some knots in it.

My bitch goes crazy for a t-shirt.

my mastiff loves elk antlers and dem bitches last forever. Bought an 8" one and he's been on it for about a month and has maybe knocked an inch off it

It didn't last very long, but Tanks favorite toy for a while was a tanned coon skin that was used to decorate around the rock fireplace. You could use it like a puppet and he'd attack it. When his bite strength increased I had to stop.

Had a german shepherd that could chew through a railroad spike. The only thing that lasted more than a week with him was the black, kong extreme toys. They'd last a couple of months. The regular red ones were gone in no time.

Cow Femur works great my lab usually chews through everything she gets her teeth on, but has been going at the femur for around a month now
