I cannot tell you how often we have had clients ask; "Can you recommend any toys that are safe for voracious chewers..... and indestructible?" We have some great toys we've recommended over the years but nothing is truly indestructible for all dogs and we often caution that dogs need to be supervised with most toys, at least initially. Well we are pleased to report that Paula has found a toy which has excellent built-in safety features and is so close to being indestructible that the manufacturer offers a lifetime guarantee. They're called GoughNuts.
GoughNuts come in sizes for small dogs to big dogs and in a variety of shapes (donut, stick, ball and cannoli). They are floatable, cleanable, rollable, chewable, recyclable, funable, and available at Green Acres! Designed and manufactured in the US, each GoughNut contains an internal, red indicator material. If you can see the red material the toy has been compromised and should be considered "unsafe" and disposed of or returned to GoughNuts for a replacement. GoughNuts is so confident that this will so seldom occur that their guarantee states "If your dog chews through the outside wear layer, Green or Black, to expose the indication layer, Red, GoughNuts will replace your toy." You do need to pay for shipping (currently $4.85) but that is a pretty impressive guarantee for a chew toy.
Checkout GoughNuts yourself in this YouTube video - http://bit.ly/Hhsuy8 or better yet, stop by Green Acres and buy a GoughNut for your dog!
