Chew toy

I'm looking for a recommendation on chew toys. I have 3 boxers who have never taken an interest in the Kongs. I now also have a 9 week old cane corso, he isn't interested in the Kongs either?

What about the jolly ball with the rope. My dogs aren't really into chew toys, they're more into balls. Personally the best toy would be jumbo antler chew either whole or split.

Titan loves the stuffed animals. At 9 weeks, try frozen wash cloths, ice cubes with treats frozen in the middle, ropes and/or nylabone. The frozen ice cubes are also great mental stimulation.

Mufasa loves kong animals. They are stuffed animals stuffed w rope and a squeeker. Safe and durable with no stuffing inside. Just be carefull of the squeeker.

Claymore absolutely loves his Kong wubba....He runs around crazy squeaking it. He's pretty good about not destroying any of his toys.
He loves this elk antler I got him. It was one of the split ones and he's making a dent in it. We have had it a week and he loves the thing every day. It has a good few months in it I believe.
He also really enjoys chewing on his cow hoof.
I had an incredible super hard chew for my last Dane that was a huge chewer but it left sharp plastic pieces everywhere and I hated that.

Stuffed animals and Kong Wubba are Zoe's favorites so far. We just got her an antler and she could give or take it.

Denna loves her Busy Buddy... the one that looks like a bowling pin. It has space to stuff treats in it, too.

She has the horse-version of the Jolly Ball. That's also a favorite - but to chase and tosss, not just chew.

We have some antlers - but I have to put something on them (peanut butter or coconut oil) or soak them in broth to make them interesting enough to hold her attention for more then 30 seconds.

My dogs love the wubba type the best but they don't last more than an hour, so I made my own with a denim pant leg and a Cuz ball squeak with the legs cut off. So far it has lasted several months except the squeak did get broke.

The antlers are expensive which wouldn't be an issue if there wasn't 5 dogs at my house lol. I'm a sucker I know! Any reasonable places to buy from? Pet smart wants $25 each.

Look on ebay. Large antlers you can get three large ones from this one seller for around $25. If I had more money I would buy the jumbo ones to be honest, but they are like $20+ each. I bought the three antler package and after 8 months I still have one decent size left and I have two large dogs. The other two were chewed down to an unsafe size and I threw them away. I heard the split ones were more enticing and get chew down quicker.

If you want the ebay seller's name I'll look it up for you

Here is the guy I purchased from. His prices went up a little

Generally the thicker the antler the better to prevent dogs from getting fractures. I found these thick enough for my two large dogs. I was amazed at the size when I received them. I don't have aggressive chewers. The only one that's aggressive is the old medium sized female and these were too big for her to destroy.
