Sometimes buying cheap toys is a false economy because they don't last. I have found my Whippet loves her Kong Wubba and Nylabone last too. With puppies I knot old socks for them although some might suggest this makes them go for socks that aren't worm out!
I have also used empty hand-cream bottles, washed and with the top removed. Simple things. If you do find cheap dog toys, make sure you check any button eyes are removed - before the dog removes and swallows them.
Avoid rawhide chews - not only are these rubbish, but once soft if they are swallowed they can get stuck in the throat and choke the dog. This (almost) happened to one of mine and if I'd not been right there to put my fist down his throat to yank it out, he would have died. We don't use these now.
Your butcher may have some scrap bones (raw only) he'd let you have for pennies.
Well I bought a toy from the pound store over in the UK and it's fine, it's just a squeaky toy and a rope and my dogs like to tug with it. It's still alive, unlike a big teddy I bought her for £15, she killed it! But I think it depends on what you buy, for example if you'd buy a cheap knock off of a kong toy it'd be a hard like plastic, but if you bought a real kong toy, then it would be much safer.
It depends on the material quality.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
