The key to picking out the best dog toys for big dogs is, of course, durability. You want something that isn’t going to be torn apart in seconds. After all, dog toys aren’t exactly cheap! It’s smart to spend a few extra dollars for something that lasts, though. I’ve bought many toys from dollar stores, only to have them destroyed in literally seconds flat. You’re not really saving money if you’re going through 10 dollar store toys a week!
