Our favorite dog toys that our own pups have verified to be good for hours, or even years, of chewing, fetching, destroying, and more:

Gus was adopted in the Caribbean, where he chased coconuts. Here in NYC, it's plush squirrels. He has trouble paying attention to squeaky toys for more than a few minutes, but the more challenging setup of squeaky squirrels in a tree-trunk-shaped pouch keeps him going for hours.
Sutton's favorite squeaker toy is ultrasonic, which means that while it still provides fun, noisy times for her, it's a lifesaver for @kaitwells's ears:
Bone, a 40 pound pit bull, loves chewing tennis balls but tears them to shreds within minutes. The good news is, she can gnaw on a super durable, solid rubber Chuckit Ultra Ball for up to a year.
Nora, a Lab/whippet mix, is intimidated by toys that squeak, toys that hit the floor with a loud thud, & she doesn't play fetch unless other dogs are around. However, her soft Himalayan Dog Chew, made from yak & cow milk, keeps her busy without hurting her mouth.
Because the Sprong has no enticing stuffing to rip out & bounces in an irregular manner, it's the only toy that's consistently kept the attention of @LaurenDragan's Chihuahua mixes, Ziggy & Lily. (Her toddler also steals the Sprong—in their eyes, all doggie toys are toddler toys)
Fearsome Snoop loves destroying his toys, and BarkShop's plush toys are made with the intention of being destroyed. Bonus: they have a loyalty program called the Destroyers Club, where you earn credits on future purchases if you share photos of your pup destroying these toys.
Pinky loves her IQ Treat Ball so much that she prefers eating her meals from it rather than from her bowl. To get kibble or treats out, she has to roll the ball or pick it up in her mouth & throw it, which keeps her mentally & physically active.
Lastly, we have Ada, a beagle mix & a serious gnawer. The Nylabone Dura Chew is one of the few toys that have withstood her teeth for more than a week. Its slim shape tucks easily into her travel carrier when heading out to visit family, and it keeps the peace anywhere she goes.
