I recommend Kong toys. 

They are very durable and easy to clean (dishwasher-safe). 

And depending on how you stuff the toy, you can make it highly interactive. 

You haven't specified the stage and size of your pup, but depending on the siz of the puppy, you may want to go with the Classic Kong. If you have a toy-to-small breed, the Kong puppy will be perfect for him/her as it's softer and gentler. 

From my experience, if your dog is a large breed or an aggressive chewer, the Kong Puppy doesn't last nearly as long as regular Kongs. 

I add Kong's Easy Treat to "stuff" the inside of the Kong and add some treats to keep the toy interesting and fun. A few hours in the freezer does wonders, and the treat lasts much longer, so my dog stays preoccupied for hours.

From what I’ve gathered, the Kong Puppy Goodie Bone is a durable toy specifically designed for teething puppies, made from Kong’s soft rubber formula. While it holds up well for most puppies and can last a long time, it’s not entirely "indestructible," especially for heavy chewers or larger breeds. The softer rubber is meant to soothe gums during teething, but if a puppy is an aggressive chewer, they might eventually wear it down. However, it does tend to last longer than typical soft toys and can be a great option for most teething pups. My cute Rottie puppy had so much fun licking peanut butter off this toy. For truly indestructible toys, I recommend Kong’s Extreme line.

The Petstages Dogwood stick dog toy has been a hit with my dog! It’s made from a safe, durable blend of real wood and synthetic materials, so it mimics the texture and feel of a real stick—without the worry of splinters or breaking apart. My dog absolutely loves chewing on it, and since it lasts way longer than natural sticks, it’s saved me a lot of trips to pick up replacements. It also has a light woodsy scent, which seems to make it even more appealing for him.
