Name top 5 toys for Goldens

We've got a Frisbee and tennis balls. What else do Goldens love? Should ours have something in the crate for chewing and, of so, what is the best chewing product - one that is all natural and will help keep teeth clean? Thanks!

Do you have a Kong? Kongs are one of my favorite toys for all dogs.

One of those large indestructible balls would probably be great for an active Golden too....this would be best used outside but is sure to burn lots of energy.

Tennis balls are fine for fetching but not for chewing, the fabric and glue are bad for their teeth and they just don't hold up to chewing. I find Air Dog balls to be pretty much indestructible and they squeak too.

Kongs are great for in the crate. Orbee balls are great too. Anything made out of zogoflex, I think that's what it's called is very tough and chewy but tough enough to hold up to lots of chewing.

You won't need much with those dogs anything they can pick up and bring to you works for them!

Re: Name top 5 toys for Goldens

i sure wish my dobes would play with their kongs. after the goodies are emptied out, they want nothing to do with them. i think its a soft mouth issue. they LOVE fleece squeekies. until ..........the front teeth get into action. then out comes the stuffing and another one bites the dust LOL
i always keep something for them inside the crate. never rawhide. not allowed in my house!
