KONG Cozie Elmer the Elephant Dog Toy

I purchased a variety of 12 stuffed toys to donate to SPCA Pinellas County. SPCA had put out a request for donations to help comfort homeless dogs with stuffed toys. The request came about due to a dog named Penny, that was originally dropped off by her previous owners. She came with a stuffed Rhino that she carried around with her everywhere and eventually needed to be replaced. When the donations came Penny chose Elmo, the elephant toy as her replacement!

My Boston loves his Kong toys and this one is no different! Most of these toys stand up to his rough housing and constant chewing. Although after a bit they get ratty looking but they are not destroyed after 1 or 2 days.. I believe we get reasonable use from them and then I’ll determine if it needs to be replaced. I switch his toys out once a week so he gets a variety, which keeps him engaged. He doesn’t chew on shoes or furniture so having a lot of toys to keep him busy seems to be key for us.

My dog Lollipup, got one of these as a welcome home present when she was 8 weeks old. She kept that one whole for only a few weeks but still plays with the toy (minus the stuffing). Anyway for her 4th birthday I decided to get a new one and she loves it. The elephant is super cute and is medium soft. She likes to lay her head over the body and sleep on it. Haha. Anyway I wouldn’t recommend it for dogs that love to chew as it will not last long but, if your dog likes to snuggle or carry their toys around to show the world, then this toy is awesome.

While I couldn’t recommend these for anyone with large dogs that are vigorous chewers (my adult Airedales destroy this type of toy in 10 seconds or less) these are perfect for young puppies just learning how to play. We have a litter of 9 Airedale puppies and they LOVE these toys! They are perfect for the level of play this young litter puts out. Ideal for learning prey drive, tug fights with siblings, and even just chewing when they have wound down.

My dog Max LOVES the KONG cozie line of toys. He originally started out with a blue and pink lion I believe that we just kept replacing when the current one would really start to show wear. They no longer make that animal and he has now adjusted to the current variety/offerings of this line #firstworlddogproblems We keep a stash in the closet for when he has an allergy flare up and needs a distract. A good price on a toy that takes him some effort to destroy.

I just got the toy i ordered this one and an alligator the elephants squeaker doesn’t work at all and that why i ordered it, the alligators squeaker is weak. If you dog just like plushies maybe its for them but my dogs like to play fetch so they haven’t payed any attention to it.

I bought these because my 3 chi mixes love stuffed toys but tear them up within about a week. I bought these thinking they would last longer and had stuffing all over my living room in 30 minutes. Really disappointed for a Kong product. Will go back to dollar store stuffies.

After one hour my Puggle had the squeaker out of the elephant. He chewed right through the material. It is very cute but definitely not “extra” tough.

My dogs destroy every toy!!! I thought because this was a kong product it might so better but alas the pink elephant has been shredded in less than a month. Thats better than any other plush toy has ever lasted but still...

Bucky absolutely loves is pink elephant! He is a serious chewer and hasn’t made a single tear! I can’t even get the toy out of his mouth long enough to get him to eat!
