Pit Bull’s are notorious for their strong jaws and amazing ability to rip through toys in seconds flat. Otter is no exception, he LOVES getting new toys and destroying them in minutes - sometimes even seconds. We’ve bought countless toys with the high hopes that they would last more than a day. In the past five years, we’ve tried a lot of toys toys! I think we developed a pretty good idea of what toys are worth the money and some have been near fatal.
Pit Bull Tested and Approved:
- KONG Extreme Dog Toy, Black, Size: Large (Price: $14.48) This toy has lasted the entire five years we’ve had Otter. We use it on a daily basis and it is still in great condition. We put it in the dishwasher on a weekly basis to make sure it stays relatively clean. It’s worth mentioning that sometimes food residue can get caught in the ridges inside the toy and it can be really gross, especially during the summer months. We use this toy whenever we put Otter in his crate and we also like to play hide and seek with it. Otter really enjoys playing hide and seek in the winter months - when he refuses to go outside in the snow. It’s great mental stimulation and keeps him from getting stir crazy.
- Cloudstar Buddy Biscuits Bacon and Cheese Flavor Soft & Chewy Dog Treat (Price: $8.55) We’ve reviewed this product before and it is a favorite of Otter’s. He goes crazy for these treats. While I am sure they are not the healthiest treats around, we use these for special occasions and when we really want him to be obedient.
- Chuckit! Small Ultra Ball 3.5 inch (XL) (Price: $7.32) Truth be told, we actually found this toy abandoned on the beach. Otter sniffed it out almost immediately said “finders keepers Mom.” Needless to say, he has been obsessed with it ever since. After the first chuckit stole Otter’s heart, we of course, had to buy some backups god forbid we lost the original (I know, we have issues with spoiling our dog with unnecessary amounts of gifts.)
- Jolly Pet Teaser Ball Dog Toy (Price: $21.99) We try to play fetch with Otter every day. He loves to play keep away and just romp around the baseball field we bring him to. This toy has been indestructible. It’s so funny to watch Otter try to play soccer with it.
