Kongs, especially the kong wubba, cuz and nyla bones rule in our house. If you do buy a plush toy I recomend the ones by AKC they tend to last a little longer I've gotten almost a whole month out of one of the ducks. Other plushes last about 10-15 minutes. Also watch closely if you do give a plush, so your puppy doesn't eat the stuffing. I've had to pull some out of Thor's backside. Thankfully it passed!
