KONG Classic Dog Toy

I seem to be buying more and more of these indestructible treasures as I come up with fillings that keep my crew engaged. They can spend 45 minutes working on getting the filling out and seem to enjoy the game of what is inside! Thus the need for more so I always have them on hand! Yesterday was apple, a little apple sauce and some kibble, frozen! Today, cucumber, a little peanut butter and celery. If I can find them all around the house, I collect. clean and fill all at once and put in the freezer so a Kong is already ready when they need some excitement!

After having one of my senior Bichon Frises (Jessica) devour both she and Pierre’s small senior Kongs in one day, I purchased an Extreme for her and this Classic for Pierre. Pierre could really care less about it. He will lick the food out of it, but doesn’t want to just chew on it. As soon as he gets to the hard treats inside, he drops it and walks away, but Jessica loves both his and her Kongs. She’ll chew on the classic and the extreme whether full or empty for quite some time. She has not yet been able to tear apart Pierre’s classic or her own extreme.

I have to admit, I think these Kongs look kind of weird and was a little skeptical of getting one. I'm glad I decided to give it a try! One thing I wondered was wouldn't the food/treats just fall out right away? I got the large Kong, and it holds about 1/3-1/2 cup of his dry dog food. It took him about 5-10 minutes of rolling it around/holding it with his paws for him to get all of the pieces to fall out. He did not seem annoyed or frustrated which I was worried he might be, but happily worked on it in his crate. Later I refilled it, and he carried it around some and the food did fall out more quickly, but not really a problem. He tends to gobble his food too quickly when it's put in his I have to admit, I think these Kongs look kind of weird and was a little skeptical of getting one. I'm glad I decided to give it a try!

He tends to gobble his food too quickly when it's put in his bowl, so I think this will help him slow down some of his eating. It is very thick sturdy rubber, and I don't think he will be able to destroy it or even really put a dent in it even though he shreds even the toughest toys. I'm not really sure about putting messier stuff like peanut butter in it, but I might give that a try sometime, esp if he will be in his crate and not out on the carpet. It would be good for doggie-safe fruit and vegetable pieces too and you could cut the pieces into chunks that would take a little longer to get out if that is the goal. … more

I'm super impressed with this Kong Classic toy! Stands up to my doodle's super power of chewing! Plus I love that you can put treats or peanut butter in it to keep them busy! He loves it! Fair warning, if you throw it inside (like we do) it's bounce is totally unpredictable and quite entertaining! Just be sure not to have anything breakable even remotely nearby, lol! I'm sure we'll purchase this again!

My 106 pound Shepard loves this toy. If you throw it on pavement, it will have a good bounce to it. It will also bounce if you throw it high enough on grass or ground. He has hardly put a mark on it and always brings it back to the garage when we are finished played. I just ask him to bring his toy. If you have a dog any smaller at all, you may want to buy the next smaller size.

This is a great toy . Not my first one. My labs ever now and then carry them into the woods and disappear. The great thing is they don't roll roll away like a ball which my labs also love. MY front yard is on a slight down hill and balls sometimes would roll down into the road . That scared me . This does happen with Kong.

I have two rescue beagles and they love their kongs. I feed them in these, the large Kong holds approx. 1/4 cup of their dry food in it. I give them about 2 kongs a day and then a bowl for breakfast and dinner as well and it keeps them occupied during the day for a while and keeps them from scratching at the cabinet for meal time at night.

Upon receipt I put treats in this toy and gave it to my Dachshund--a 12-year old senior dog. Thirty minutes later she had chewed the top off completely and devoured the treats. The only way I would recommend this toy is if I knew the dog and its ability to chew. I did not think my miniature Dachshund--an old dog--would have been able to destroy this in thirty minutes!

I bought the large size for my 10 month old labradoodle & she is absolutely, crazy-wacko obsessed with it. Even after she ate all of the peanut butter out of it, she can't stop playing with it. It's a godsend that it is keeping her so entertained as I work from home & she often gets restless. She loves it so much she even takes it outside with her when she goes potty, then rolls it around & plays with it in the snow for a bit before bringing it back inside. :)

We have always gotten kongs for our dogs so when we got our new pup, of course we were going to supply her with kongs! She is growing very quickly so we bought two different sizes so she'll never be without. We use these kongs daily...not only for play but also for treats and to get her settled in her crate. Don't know what we'd do without them.
