Chew toys can be a very touchy subject. You want to get something that your dog will like, but that will also last so you don't feel like you're throwing your money away! And as dog owners, we all know the feeling - you go to the store to pick out a chew toy for your four-legged friend, something durable that will keep him entertained.

Maybe the toy you pick out says "tough" or "indestructible" on the packaging, and you think that this might last a while for your pup who can seemingly chew through anything. But when you bring it home for your excited pup, it lasts maybe 5 minutes, and you're left thinking, "What a waste of money." Well, we did the hard work for you, searched through the top-rated chew toys for dogs, and whittled down the list to our top 3. If you're curious about how tough they are, try them out and tell us what you think!

Goughnuts Chew Rings

A toy that comes in both standard and extreme variations, this chew ring will definitely stand a chance against Fido's chompers. It's made of super durable rubber (the extreme version has extra carbon added to make it even more puncture-resistant) that should last your dog a very long time. This is one of the best dog chews for teeth because the rubber, while tough, won't pose a threat to your pup's teeth. Hidden inside the tough rubber coating is a bright red core - if your dog chews this far, it's time to get a new one! And the best part is, Goughnuts has a Safety Guarantee, which means if your pup chews all the way down to the core, they'll mail you a new one for free (plus shipping). You can't lose!

Benebone Wishbones

Similar to nylabones, these bones are a great rawhide alternative for dogs. They're made of nylon that can withstand hours and hours of intense chewing. These bones do fray out into sharp points after your dog lays onto them, so periodically make sure that no small pieces are going to fall off and pose a choking hazard for your pup. The wishbone, in particular, has a unique shape for your marathon chewer to hold on to while he's going to town. These bones can come with flavoring or not, and some of them even have nubs and ridges that help clean your pup's teeth while he's chewing!

West Paw Hurley Tough Dog Bone

This has come up as one of the best chew toys for dogs because of its durability, the materials it is made out of, and it can even float! The straight shape makes it an ideal fetch toy, but if your dog wants to keep it to himself, he can gnaw on this toy for hours, probably without even making a dent! Because of its durability, this bone is one of the longest-lasting toys on the market - so you can say goodbye to throwing your money away! This bone is also very safe - not splintering and shredding like other bones or toys. 

Bristly Brushing Stick

Last but not least, we can't forget about the Bristly Brushing Stick! Made from some of the toughest rubber on the market, this toy can stand up to an intense amount of chewing. It comes in three different sizes to fit into paws from the tiniest Chihuahua to the biggest Great Dane. Best of all, the rubber bristles are designed to scrape the plaque off of your dog's teeth while he chews! For extra cleaning power, utilize the toothpaste reservoir to really help your pup's teeth shine!
