KONG Classic Dog Toy

I was worried that this wouldn’t last. I have a four year old shepherd and a one year old lab. The lab is a destructive force. He has destroyed a red and black (the extreme) Kong treat dispensers. I got two of these and they have been sharing one for the last three weeks. No matter how much the puppy chews on it he can’t actually puncture it which is awesome! My shepherd lives to play fetch. This is awesome for fetch because when you throw it, it will bounce all over the place. It makes for more a more fun and longer lasting game. Overall, not only will I buy it again- I’ll be stocking up. It’s hard to find toys that can not only stand up to the lab but that both dogs want to play with.

KONGs... I used to not understand why they were popular. Look up stuffing kong videos and you learn more. DONT just stuff it with peanut butter or the Kong brand spread. We have been teaching our pup how to get treats out of the kong and there are many recipes out there for healthy kong fillings. The KONG website also has a guide for what size to buy based on breed that we found EXTREMELY helpful!

This toy is great. I fill it with healthy biscuits for my pooch. Not only does it keep her busy but, she has developed creative ways to get treats out. Actually, hooks on bottom teeth, throws her head back and bounces it to release treats. Also, put peanut butter in it, freeze and give to her.

We really can't live without Kongs. We always keep one in the freezer stuffed with wet food or peanut butter for moments when our dog needs to be occupied or to help her settle in when we leave her home alone. She really loves them, and the frozen ones keep her occupied for a good while. Do double check the sizing before you buy, though - I assumed our old one was a small based on the size of our dog, but it was actually a medium. We'll still keep this little guy for smaller snacks. You really can't have enough around!

Seriously , every single dog owners should have a Kong. I love that I can dish wash them (top rack) and they’re durable! I learned this trick while volunteering at a shelter: put their food in the bottle and seal the top with peanut butter! Put it in the freezer overnight and give it to them when you leave then in their crate or whenever you want. The frozen PB takes longer to lick through and keeps them entertained longer! Licking releases natural endorphins which calm your dog.

Even though we have a Shih Tzu, he tends to be aggressive with his toys (was getting pieces off his nylabone and swallowing them-which made him vomit). I wanted to get something that I could be sure he wouldn't be able to tear pieces off of. He loves this little kong! He's able to hold it in his mouth and carry it around.

I got this suggestion from a YouTube trainer: fill the base of the Kong with kibble, then tap the large opening with canned dog food. Freeze it. If I’m going out for a lwhile, it will keep my dog entertained.

Very few brands can survive my dog's teeth for more than 3 days, as a mix of many breeds including German Shepherd and Staffy. Phoebe loves her Kongs, and they're perfect to give to her during a storm to calm her down. Bonus points if you freeze the filling! It doesn't take her very long to get it cleaned out, but she LOVES when I take it out and starts offering all of her tricks to get it as quickly as possible.

I got the small Kong classic for my Westie. She’s 10 months old and still likes to chew. I bought the peanut butter filler to go with it. I originally loved it at first because she was distracted for a good two hours while I worked (I froze the toy with the peanut butter filler inside). She got all of the filling out and was chewing on the toy and managed to chew off the top half and this was the first day I gave it to her. I’m going to try the Kong extreme chew and see if it’s any better.

My 3 month puppy absolutely loves this toy, as do my partner and I. We like to fill this with his wet dog food, freeze it and then let him play with it when we need to keep him busy. This toy allows us both to work from home--taking Zoom meetings undistracted! This toy is very durable and strong, exactly what a teething puppy needs. I can't recommend this toy enough.
