  What product would you seriously stockpile if you found out they weren't going to sell it anymore?

  Prestige liquid eyeliner Missha soft finish sunscreen Sodastreams/co2 bottles Thinx Period Panties Microsoft Sculpt Keyboard (I know because they DON’T sell them anymore and they. were. perfect.) Zojirushi Coffee/Tea Tumblers Miir Insulated Camping Mugs Tom’s Majorca Cutout Heels + Jutti Flats Nike Flex Sneakers Tesla/Rivian Kongs (for my dog) Bare Minerals Foundation Open Farms Rawmix Dog Food Pronamel Toothpaste Flamingo at-home Waxing Strips Clorox Wipes This isn’t exactly buy it for life. Some items I have I wouldn’t stockpile because I only need one. My favorite toothbrush for instance. I find that things that touch my body or my food tend to be products I select carefully and then am fanatically loyal to, so I would be most stressed if my cosmetics, underclothes etc were discontinued. But these are high quality, long duration consumable items that would make me panic if I could no longer find them when I went to get a new one. Hope some of these help!

  What’s your BIFL that a dog chewed on and you still use it?

  Kong squeezz ball, the colored ones with a hole in it. :D https://www.kongcompany.com/catalogue/PSB1/ Such a well designed product--the ball is not perfectly round so if the dog drops it, it will typically roll away or continue rolling for self-play. My dog has all 4 colors, but loves the green the most.

  KONG Pillow dog beds- Outside all year long in 100+ and below 0 temps, still tough as hell and the dog still sleeps on it.

  Kong toys are great.

  I got one of these for my boxer. It lasted less than 24 hours before he had ripped one of the handles off to get at the tasty foam on the inside. Didn't really seem any more durable than most other pillow beds. I've tried the Kong crate liner to much greater success to handling abuse, but the pillow didn't help me much at all beyond blowing a large amount of money for a 24 hr pillow.

  I've got a doberman rotty x, I've yet to find something she can't chew through. Those antlers that are supposed to take forever to chew through last her a week. I can't afford a $30 chew a week, she eats logs from the firewood pile, she's cracked a few red kongs in half and a tennis ball literally lasts 3 bites. The black kongs last but I think she gets disinterested when she realizes she can't kill something and goes searching for something to ruin.

  KONG is pricey but durable all around. I say that but my dog plays with the remaints of destroyed toys. Ripped the fluff out? Don't care. Broken squeaker? Don't care. She's older than 2 but plays with toys she had as a pup. I love it. I'm used to picky dogs. Downside is I can't randomly buy toys or I'll be overrun. Upside is I can buy a single expensive toy and it will probably be a BIFL.

  Yep! He went through 3 or 4 big nice fluffy beds prior. I honestly thought he'd hate this bed because it's not very fluffy at all, but he lays in his crate all the time on it. Voluntarily even. He's very rarely locked in there. Pretty much only when vacuuming. He initially tried to destroy it but that lasted maybe an hour or two, never since (and completely undamaged, and I didn't stop him). They have a 90 day warranty you might want to check out. I didn't want to spend 80 bucks on a dog bed that I wasn't sure about, but I can confirm they are great for destructive dogs. [Obligatory, cause he decided to lay there just now.](http://imgur.com/q4mYUtY) It's a little dirty, but undamaged.

  I have three kong beds but I would never leave them outside and let them get all gross and wet. Ours seem pretty durable so far, and they make a narrow one that fits perfectly in our dog's crate. He humps it every night, so I guess he likes it too.

  KONG toys are the only ones my dog has yet to destroy. Love these things.
