Squeaky Dog Toy Passes the Jack Russell Test

Indestructible Squeaky Dog Toy Test Continues

It’s been a ~~week~~ 3 years (update) since we bought the PetSafe dog toy and the verdict is in! It is truly an indestructible dog toy and it squeaks! It can not be destroyed. My Jack Russell, Brody, has given it over over a week of intense heavy chewing and biting. He has almost driven himself insane and he can’t tear it apart. If you don’t believe me watch the video below. (Update: 3 years later, the toy survives)

Brody is what you call a super-chewer in the dog world. He may be only twenty pounds but he has jaws of steel and a biting grip worthy of a dog twice his size. Don’t worry, shortly after I made this video I did get Leah her own Booya toy also.

Toughest Squeaky Dog Toy Ever

The Busy Buddy line of dog toys are tough, in fact, the toughest I’ve ever tried and I have tried almost every dog toy from Tuffy toys, to Kongs and Kyjens. The Nylabones last, but don’t squeak. Brody is bored unless a toy makes noise.

The goal, find a fun, tough, indestructible squeaky toy to last more than a day.

My goal became an obsession. I canvased pet store aisles, even the grocery store and hardware stores searching for the toughest dog toy available.

Squeaky tennis balls he shredded and I found tiny bits all over the living room floor. The squeaker dog mats with multiple squeakers lasted longer. Plush dog toys rip easy.

My terrier is a little terror, he is orally motivated and very tenacious. Food and noise get his attention. This Booya Squeaker toy gets his attention and keeps it. In fact, there are now two so all the dogs can play and squeak to their heart’s delight.

As you can see in the video, Leah the Boxer didn’t have a chance the first couple of days. Another plus is I can put dog treats, cookies and their food inside the Booya for an added bonus. This has kept both dogs engaged and entertained the whole afternoon.

The verdict is in, the toughest dog toys are made by PetSafe and this one is my favorite by far. Stay tuned for continuing updates as the months go by to see how it stands up over time. It is one tough dog toy.

More Tough Dog Toys for Aggressive Chewers

PetSafe makes the best dog toys for chewers but, I’m a little biased. Kong, Tuffy and Nylabone make some good ones too.

Finally Found an Indestructible Squeaky Dog Toy!

PetSafe Squeak N Treat Booya

I am so excited! For more than ten years I have been trying to find indestructible squeaky toys for my dog Brody, a Jack Russell terrier.

Seriously, there is a basket of defluffed dog toys sitting in my living room as evidene. He can tear apart hundreds of dollars of squeaky plush dog toys within minutes.

There are remnants of dog toy fluff under the couch right now. If the toy contains a squeaker it will get destroyed.

Pet companies sent boxes of samples for testing. No luck. Some were canvas dog toys made of fire hydrant material. Brody is more persistent than a tiger with his squeaky toys. Don’t believe the tiger test.

Most tough dog toys designed for strong chewers normally don’t have squeakers. So unless I could put food inside he soon lost interest.

Chew Toys for Agressive Chewers

The best dog toy I have ever found, up to this point, is the Busy Buddy bone, which I bought shortly after I brought Brody home (he was a rescue). BUT, it doesn’t squeak.

Even after ten years of chewing and being left in the backyard the Busy Buddy survives. It takes hundreds of hours of abuse and survives.

Squeaky Dog Toys for Aggressive Chewers

I always wanted Petsafe Pet Products to release a squeaky dog toy with this material and they HAVE!!

My husband and I went to Bass Pro Shop, and displayed on an end cap at the front of the store were PetSafe dog toys.

Look what I found! The first treat dispensing dog toy that squeaks.

Brody has been chewing on it for six hours (update 2 years) and it barely is scratched!

My Jack Russell is a small to medium dog but I get him larger toys so it was the large sized Booya toy for him.

On the scale of chew intensity Brody is extreme and can easily squeeze the rubber to make it squeak. He is a little bit obsessed with it and I don’t expect the behavior to change.

I’m going to have to get two or three they are that good. My Boxer just has to wait her turn, or begs me to take it away from Brody.

The rubber is infused with a vanilla scent, much like the bacon infused Nylabone he loves.

Here is the VIDEO of Brody chewing on his Booya dog toy. This dog toy is amazing and puts all the others to shame.

I have filled it a couple times with treats for Leah (the Boxer) because although she is bigger. She doesn’t have the “chew and destroy” drive of the terrier. With full confidence I can say this is an indestructible squeaky toy for dogs of all kinds of dogs.

Where to find an Indestructible Squeaky Toy

If your favorite pet store (or Bass ProShop) doesn’t carry the Busy Buddy Booya the head on over Amazon, they have everything. Premier-Pet Products has a whole line of indestructible dog toys, they are also the makers of the Gentle Leader dog harness that stopped Brody from pulling on his leash.

Hands down PetSafe dog toys are the best dogs toys for chewers!

Day 121/365: Brody my Jack Russell, the Official Tester of Tough Squeaky Dog Toys

Toughest Toys – Squeaky Dog Toys for Aggressive Chewers

Many of you have followed my quest to find the indestructible dog toy. Specifically, a squeaky toy, my Jack Russell loves squeaky toys. So far only the toys that have past the survivability test has been his Nylabone Dura Chew and his Busy Buddy.

My postings on this adventure attracted the attention of the Kyjen Company who makes unique and innovative dog products.

They sent graciously Brody a box of challenging and definitely unique squeaky toys and I’m going to do them justice during my by documenting Brody’s experience.

The day the box arrived Brody just knew it was for him.

Seriously, it was almost like ESP and he could sense all the fun inside. I let Brody pick out of the box and the first one he picked was the Hard Boiled Softies. It honks rather than squeaks and this was different. It is a plush covering with a hard rubber “yolk” inside.

white dog playing with his dog toy — It’s a bee! It’s different!

He pushed and honked it and eventually the antennae and the wings came off. Then he went to work on the bottom part of the plush bee because he couldn’t get at the noisemaker.

After a few hours, the egg came loose from its fabric. I was very impressed with the thick rubber construction. Since it was a very large size it was more difficult to puncture.

Dog toys in my house get destroyed — Got it loose!

After the egg was out of the “shell” Brody played and bounced it around all night.

What? All night, a toy actually lasted all night? This is a first!

The squeaker stayed in the egg even. It wasn’t until the next day the squeaker became dislodged and disappeared inside the dog toy cavity. I fully expected it then to be chewed into many pieces. Nope.

A week later I’m using the egg as a treat toy. I break up his dog bones into three pieces and put them inside. It’s a perfect size the egg is large enough in diameter to encourage some serious chewing and tossing to get them out.

This next phase of toy play will last him hours if I keep the treat pieces large enough.

I have put the egg back in it’s shell a few times, but it’s chewed up enough where it doesn’t stay. But I’m impressed.

As you can see from the video Brody really loves his toys, small toys are a challenge to play interactively with him as he plays keep away. Next review is a toy that is the perfect size in my opinion, maybe if they merged the two together?

Thank You Kyjen!

Here are my favorite dog toys that meet the tough, and fit into the truly indestructible category. PetSafe makes super quality dog toys and the Busy Buddy was Brody’s first toy, my request, or wish, they make a tough durable squeaker came true and the Booya is what every dog toy should be like in the future.

Day 85/365: Dog Toy Testing Continues

February 26, 2011 by info@3QuartersToday.com

Brody seems so happy, and he is, happy to destroy any squeaky dog toy that comes into the house. If you read his previous toy escapade, you will see he is quite the toy enthusiast and he’s at it again, another dog toy test, another day with fluff littering the living room. Mighty Dog Toys are promoted as being tested by tigers (watch videos here) and encourages the consumer to rethink durability.

Day 85: Brody's New Toy — Day 85: Brody’s New Toy

I signed up to be a toy tester with MyDogToy.com to save money, they are half price if you agree to review the toy on the website, now it’s become a challenge. I hope the feedback I give VIP Products will learn actually create an indestructible dog toy. Wouldn’t that be wonderful.

Dog toy test by a Jack russell terrier — Look at me, look at me!!

This has been the best squeaky dog toy so far. I liked it because it was big enough to grab and pull away from Brody without getting near his mouth. The Mega Gear Ring was much easier to play fetch and throw, I loved it and I think Brody even loved the big size. The Ring seemed to fight with him as he ran and he carried it various ways with his head the middle of the circle. Tried to get various pictures, but he moved too fast.

The outside fabric was quilted and prevented him from pulling all the outside cover off. That frustrated him to no end, he could only rip one square inch of fabric at a time. Mighty Dog Toys goes to great lengths to attempt to make their toys durable, and for normal dogs, or even persistent dogs this would work, as you can see below VIP Products tries really hard.

Seven Rows of Stitching Each toy’s seven layers of material are sewn together with two rows of linear stitching and two rows of cross stitching. The four rows of stitching are protected with an industrial grade luggage material that is sewn 3 more times. Seven Layers of Material Three layers of 600 Denier industrial grade material, three layers of plastic coating and finally one layer of soft fleece. All seven layers are rolled together and then sewn with a one inch cross pattern to prevent layer separation. Protective Webbing Additional industrial grade luggage material is sewn around the outside edge with three rows of stitching to cover and protect the first four rows of stitching. Squeaker Safety Pockets Each Squeaker is safe and quiet because they are sewn into a nylon safety pocket beneath seven layers of material.

Dog destroys a dog toy — Yes, I’m the destroyer, bring on the next one…

It took Brody almost 2 hours to penetrate and release fluff. This is the longest of any dog toy I’ve ever gotten him. Then it was only one of four compartments.
This was great! He literally exhausted himself. The last compartment wasn’t breached for almost six hours. He eventually tore and ripped holes in the fabric, but threw and tossed it around for the next couple of days.

We had a lot of fun with this one, and if I had taken it away after a few hours, then given it back later, it would of latest for days.
