The Boyz Lost The Goughnuts Chew Toys!

A few weeks ago, Alvin the Terrible looked a little depressed. When I asked him to find his goughnuts toy (he's had one since he was a pup and now he's 5) he could not locate it anywhere in the house.

Our back deck overlooks a cliff. We think brother Simon dumped the goughnuts off the deck and over the cliff - never to be found again. Things disappear down the cliff quite often!

So, I signed onto Amazon and ordered two goughnuts - the small ones.

Hiding Under The Table

Now, Alvin is happy but not allowing Simon or us to touch his GoughNut Green .75!

NO ONE touches my Goughnuts

Stop Dog Chewing The Easy Way - PREVENT It From Happening

One Proven Way To Prevent Destructive Chewing - Give Dogs an Alternative
One of the simplest ways to stop dog chewing is to provide your dog with indestructible toys. When he chews, He can work on HIS stuff, NOT your furniture, shoes, cell phone, or eyeglasses.

Some dogs just love to chew and rip toys to shreds within minutes. The Guinness Book of Records must record information about the canine who can remove a squeaker toy and scatter stuffing the fastest! Not a very hopeful thought, but many dogs never grow out of this phase - so OK-to-chew playthings are must-have purchases.

The Ultimate Chew Toy
For the cost of a few squeaker toys, you can get the ultimate, nearly indestructible chew toys – GoughNuts. The originals came in Green, Black, and .75 (a smaller version). Now there are stick versions of these miracles, also in green and black. The black ones were designed for the strong Big Boy or Girl Chewer – usually a larger dog.

Each of these items has an inner core of red material surrounded by either the black or green substance.

Goughnuts come in 6 different varieties and are virtually indestructible. If your dog is able to chew through to the red area, you call the manufacturer ASAP for a replacement. Black Goughnuts are stronger than green ones and are for extreme chewers.

Alvin's Recommendation
Doesn't this post read like the voice of experience? It is - Alvin, my Bichon Frise mixed breed is an amazing chewer. See his video "Guarding The Goughnuts" below. But he knows to chew his own toys - his favorite is
