# Dog toys for aggressive chewers

Source: HiveTried, https://hivetried.com/pets/dog-toy/for-aggressive-chewers/
Category: Pets > Dog chew toy. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 323 counted first-hand reports from Target shopper reviews, Oct 2017 to Sep 2026.

**Question:** Which dog toys hold up to aggressive chewers?

**Short answer:** Chuckit! Ultra Ball leads for strong chewers: 14 of 14 owners said it held up, though that rests on a smaller group of reviewers. Benebone Wishbone Chew Toy comes next at 18 of 23 with more owners weighing in, and KONG Shakers Elephant has the weakest record here at 6 of 32. No toy is indestructible, so supervise chewing whichever one you pick.

**What stands out:** Dogs love nearly all of these toys, so the real difference is how long they last: 64% of KONG Shakers reviews and 60% of Billy the Squid reviews say it was destroyed quickly.
