non destroyable toys and treats, chews for an EBT

My cousin has a 21month old EBT, Bentley, and he has now got very large and very powerfull, and all his toys just get destroyed, he just pierces them completely, its awful he allways looks as if he has done something wrong.
Another tale, the other day, he brought a 5o pound, huge dog bone, from an online pet shop, it is supposed to last them, well a long time. They went to their neighbours for a dinner party, they gave Bentley the bone when they went to give him a start, they cam back about 3 hours, Bentley has a dog flap BTW so he can go out at all times, anyway when they returned the bone had been destroyed, and only a few crumbs were left.
He also brought a Bull terrier porrf ball, from a specialist breed site, and when it came it looked good, but a few hours later he had split it in half.
So any suggestions on toys, treats, chews, bones etc for a very large EBT?
best wishes

Scooter tyres are great - rottweiler-proof, so stands a half decent chance of surviving an EBT (though they're more powerful chewers). Make sure you ask the garage for safe ones though (i.e no punctures, wire etc)

Kongs and kong products always survive my rott and bulldog, so they get the thumbs up.

Don't waste money on anything that claims to be "virtually indestructible" often sold at places like Pets At Home - Satch destroys them in minutes and he's not a particularly destructive dog so they wouldn't stand a chance with a proper biter

For the bones, stick to cattle bones and try freezing them first - last much longer

If the puppy tread tyre worked for Kerrie it might work for Bentley but mine lasted about 10 mins (no joke) with Satch and it cost me £9.99

id also recommend an indestructaball, one size larger than their mouth so they cant get their teeth around it
Its a rock hard football, ithink made of solid plastic all the way through
Indie rolls hers round for hours tryin to get her teeth round it but she cant lol


Also an Xlarge black kong.. the black kongs are the toughest ones... just fill it with something tasty, freeze it and it'll last em a while

edited to add: ive had those pup treads as pictured above since indie was a puppy and they havent been destroyed yet tho it did come with a rope on the end and thats gone. They dont find the treads that exciting tho

Rope toys are good i think... altho they can destroy them easily, if u get the biggest one u can find it'll last em hours while they sit there ripping it up

The extra large nylabone Galileo product? Looks obscene but gives them a good chew!

I'll second that!

I bought Abe one couple of years ago and he was a power chewer.I found it last week under lounge chair,so cleaned it with boiling water and Vegas is now enjoying it!

.....and the 'Cuzz' squeaky toys (I've done a reveiw in 'your Reviews') seem good. My enthusiastic almost year old staffy has had one for over 3 months and it hasn't a mark on it. I don't let her have it all the time but she has had lots of fun with it. Not sure about a larger jawed dog - might be worth a try.

(Pic taken 23 March, toy now just the same, pup - much changed!)

you do realise you arent supposed to eat them urself Jen !! LOL LOL
sorry couldnt resist !!

Bruno has destroyed every toy so far he has ever been given - although some are slower than others - big nylabones last quite a long time, any thing made of plasctic doesnt stand a chance, he gets irritated with the big basketball I got him as he cant get his jaws round it - so therefore its still in one piece.

BUt to be honest he is perfectly happy with an empty juice bottle ( plastic variety) cheap and he recycles it by spitting all the plastic bits out on my floor once he has chewed them !!lol
