I’m dog sitting a few times a week (same dog), and he loves chewing up cardboard. He doesn’t eat it or anything, just makes a huge mess. He has nylabones and similar chew toys, but he’s not very interested in them. He seems to prefer things he can rip to shreds easily. Any idea what sorts of toys would be a good alternative to cardboard for him to reduce the mess?
You can get what are essentially stuffed toys without the stuffing that my friend’s terrier really likes. They are a lot harder to tear than cardboard and might offer a similar experience. They are also good for interactive play.
