When I first got my little rat terrier/Chihuahua mix, I ran out to the pet store to pick up the necessary supplies. In addition to the basics (a collar, leash and food), I also bought several dog toys. My favorite was a cute stuffed skunk that squeaked. I couldn't wait to give it to her.
As soon as I returned home, I let my pooch play with the skunk. I left the room for less than five minutes, and when I went to check on her I found bits of the skunk scattered across the entire room. How could she possibly "kill" it in that amount of time?
It turns out that my tiny, 12 pound doggie is an aggressive chewer. After a lot of trial and error, I complied list of the toys that I think are best for dogs with jaws of steel.
