Rubber chew toys
Should i buy my dog a rubber chew toy?
Most of the companies claim that these toys are safe but i fear if my dog swallows a piece of it while chewing.
Aren't there any alternatives for an aggressive chewer ?

If you get chew toys from a standard company, then there are not many issues you will face.
You can always have alternatives like chew stick snacks, big whole carrots, and large intact bones.
Based on your dog's age, breed, and behavior, you can select the best option for him.

For such rubber toys you'll have to be supervising your pet. For heavy chewers, from my experience kong, rope toys and natural wood fibre chew sticks work well. Eventually your pet will start playing with these rubber toys too. But not while teething stage.

Yeah sometimes they will break rubber toys and do eat especially pups...get someone which is hard to break or you can give chewsticks which he can chew and eat as well.
