KONG Classic Biscuit Ball Dog Toy

For the money this is a poor choice. My dog loved getting the treats out However, on the 2nd go he was able to start breaking away at the opening. Can’t have him eating hard rubber. My dog is a Sproodle at 45 lbs. This may be a good choice for a small dog that doesn’t chew hard. This is our 3rd Kong dog toy. The other 2 cone shaped Kong toys never get played with. So for me the 3rd time is my last for Kong dog toys. Don’t buy if your dog loves to chew. Wish I had spent my money on a different brand of dog toy. Hope this helps.

I agree with most of the other reviews... A cookie will fall right out of the large opening and your dog will eat up the treats in no time. I can recommend this ball for moderately strong chewers. It gives with medium to strong bite pressure due to the hollow design. It’s about as strong as, say... a Baby Kong or a Senior Kong. Maybe not for the serious highest pressure monster chewer who can burn through anything. The small size has been perfect for my Bull Terrier who’s on the small side at 55lbs. The whole ball almost fits in his mouth but cannot pass into the windpipe. A larger dog or a stronger chewer might do better with the large.

Don’t take your eyes off of the dog no matter what size you get. The material can be torn and swallowed just like a Kong that’s starting to unravel on top. Great for fetch as it has a little bounce and is good for toss because it’s on the light side. But not for cookies so much. … more

It has a nice bounce and the treat holes make it easy to take from pups mouth. Best ball we have had.

I was personally really excited to get this for my boys based on the picture of the treats sticking out. As I had a lot of these treats I figured it wills be perfect. The holes the treats are meant to sit in are too big for it so the treats just slid into the middle or fall out completely. My boys do seem to like the toy regardless though and so far haven’t managed to wreck it which is nice. Just disappointed that the item didn’t function as advertised.

but not great and I feel bad saying so. We have a 7mo old Sheepadoodle puppy, Jerry. Apparently, Jerry is a POWER chewer. He was able to take small bits and make decent sized holes in this ball within days of getting it. I rely on KONG toys all the time, but perhaps it's the treat-slots that make it more susceptible. Stick with the solid KONG ball unless you don't have a wild man!

The photo is deceptive: there's a giant hole on one side (presumably to hold large treats) that allows anything inside the ball to fall out. This is useless if you want your dog to be occupied for a while trying to get at the treats. It's unfortunate because I like the texture of the Kong rubber. Don't buy this.

The problem I have had is finding the right size and shape of treat to add challenge, but not too difficult or too easy to remove. Any ideas?

Kong's are the biggest rip-offs. My 9 week old puppy can empty a Kong biscuit ball or puppy Kong (meant for his age/ weight) in less than a minute. These things are scams. Sorry to be cynical, but I have had no success with Kong products.

Love this thing! I don’t use it for Kong biscuits instead I freeze wet food inside it and then give it to my relentless Bull Terrier. Keeps her occupied for a hour. Couldnt survive without it.

This works great with the kong biscuits for entertaining a puppy for a while.
