Like most of you I have tried endlessly to find the best toys suitable for our labs. Its always like Christmas morning when I bring home a new toy for the girls to play with. I have spent hundreds of dollars on toys that catch my eye at Pet-Co or Walmart or some expensive doggie boutique. Unfortuately most of these eye catchers last only a few days and if Im lucky a week. So my quest for this year is to find the most unique toughest (Lab Proof) toys that I can share not only with my own labs but the families that buy our puppies and other Lab owners. One of the biggest questions when a family is getting ready to take home their new fourlegged bundle of joy is- What kind of toys do you recommend? I used to say some type of Kong Toy, but to be honest only there are only a few of the kongs that my labs actually play with for more than a day or 2.
Keep in mind NO toy is indestructable but there are toys out there that are more durable than others. You must remember that you have to teach a dog that the world is NOT their oyster or a chew toy. These toys are to be used for training,interacting ect. These toys are amazingly durable when used as an interactive toy.The Toys we are recommending are not found at Big Chain stores. You can order them from us on our site or you can find some of these at a few other sites of course we would love for you to buy them from us that way we will stand behind them because these are products that have made it through the true test of our Labs.
I have found buying a Dog toy is alot like buying a pair of shoes. You get what you pay for thats for sure. You can go to a retail chain and buy the cheap $20.00 pair of tennis shoes for your kids and they fall apart in a month or 2 or you can buy them a name brand shoe that lasts 4x as long. Same goes for Dogtoys. The bottom line is you get what you pay for.

All of our favorite things can be ordered off our Website

   # 1 on our list is the~Nite Ize Spotlit

  Clip the lightweight, durable Nite Ize SpotLit to your four-footed friend’s collar, and you’ll be able to easily see him or her in the darkest night—and so will everyone else within 1000 feet of the little guy. The battery-powered LED emits a bright ambient glow, perfect for those pre-dawn or after dark outings. 

Choose from two modes that are simple to activate—press once for a steady glow, twice for continuous flash—and you not only help keep your pet safe, you’ll also be able to identify him clearly from a distance. (A friend has a different color SpotLit for each of his two dogs. With one on glow and one on flash mode, he always knows who’s who at the dog park.) The SpotLit features a durable stainless steel carabiner clip and easily replaceable batteries. 

 # 2 on our list is the~ Meteorlight L.E. D. ball

Other great toys that have passed our  Red Diamond Favorite Toys Lab tests are made by KYJEN Company.
