When we got out baby boy Tyson, a pitbull, bully mix, he was just 8lbs. I could cradle him over my one arm and hold him for the entire day. Fast forward to today, 8 months old, and he’s grown into a 60lb tank who will only get bigger. I’ve learned first hand Pitbulls need two main things to keep your house and things nice, lots of exercise and lots of chew toys.
P.S. ALWAYS supervise your dog when you give him a new toy. You’d be surprised how many toys claim to be indestructible and lasted 20min in Tyson’s mouth.
Despite their ridiculous controversial reputation, Pitbulls are insanely loving, playful, and loyal breed. Their jaw strength is similar to Mastiffs and Rottweilers. Just like any dog, leave them for too long, they’ll get bored and chew anything and everything in site. With their large muscular jaws they needs toys that will stand up to their strength. The tougher the toy, the better! I recommend long lasting solid rubber toys, which ropes for tug of war (Pitbulls favorite game), and large treat hiding toys.
In an effort to save you time finding toys, save you money, and save your house hold items, here are my top 10 tough chew toys for Pitbulls.
1.Benebone Durable Wishbone: This is my dogs personal favorite. It’s easy for him to hold and super long-lasting. Plus comes in 100% natural flavors from bacon, chicken or peanut butter.
2. Kong Extreme Dog Toy: Since they are made entirely of natural rubber, Kongs are super durable and non-toxic. Stuff it with kibble, peanut butter, frozen yogurt, raw veggies, and other treats.
