On the Hunt for Indestructable Dog Toys

I recently purchased a plethora of new dogs toys for the daycare here at A Dog's Dream. Needless to say, I think I may have been more excited than the dogs for these new toys to arrive. And I couldn't wait to see how much the dogs would love them!

I made sure to puchase mostly toys without stuffing, and plenty of Kong toys as well as Nylabones (they always seem to all want the one we've already got). The order arrived a week and a day ago, and we are almost depleted to our original cast of toys.

The Nylabones that I ordered were apparently not quite as hardy as the one I already have, so one of those had to be thrown away (or would have been completely eaten) within 24 hours. The other one can only get put out when certain dogs are not here! One really cute giggling eggplant is missing the leaves, arms, and legs and has already been stitched up (by my wonderful husband) in three different places. One of the Kong monkies lost all of his stuffing (what very little he had) when his face got ripped open and his foot got torn off.

So, I am still in search of some indestructable dog toys that will be fun for our daycare dogs. I don't want to buy a new stock of toys every couple of weeks, but they also need to be toys that are fun for them to play with (they are not big on the regular Kong toys or hard rubber toys - probably because they can't destroy them!). Any suggestions??
