KONG Extreme Dog Toy

Some of you may recall Elle the wonder beagle who exploded her dog bed. Well I got her a a Kong Extreme, and a size up for what she is. I opened it up popped a treat in it at 5:00 tonight. She was super happy. Her boxer friend (Olaf) enjoyed his. I broke the treats in half which was inside each of their Kong. Elle was thrilled to get the treat out. Like stoked. We left the house and she went into her crate. Came home at 8:30, by 9 she has put a large hole in the top. There wasn’t a treat it in anymore. She just loved her Kong that much. I’m sure for some dogs it is great, but she I dunno, her jaws are just too busy.

I have a 10 month old rescue...can't say exactly what bread he is but I love him....he eats like a lab is the color and coat of a chocolate lab with some vibrant ways about him....he tore his blue puppy kong just recently (but it lasted 6 months) so I ordered him an extreme medium as he is only about 45lbs...I was shocked he tore the first tier off within 2o min....I filled it with cucumber and peanut butter which he loves...but I was disappointed in the resiliency of a Kong product...I just reordered not only the kong but the kong jumbler ball which was another toy that lasted several months... He was supervised during his use of the new toy...I'm sorry but for the cost...I'm severely disappointed I have a 10 month old rescue...can't say exactly what bread he is but I love him....he eats like a lab is the color and coat of a chocolate lab with some vibrant ways about him....he tore his blue puppy kong just recently (but it lasted 6 months) so I ordered him an extreme medium as he is only about 45lbs...I was shocked he tore the first tier off within 2o min....I filled it with cucumber and peanut butter which he loves...but I was disappointed in the resiliency of a Kong product...I just reordered not only the kong but the kong jumbler ball which was another toy that lasted several months...

I mush up brown rice with diced up chicken, bananas, cheese, leftovers (if they're safe for dogs)...whatever is in the house. Slap on some peanut butter to seal the opening, stick it in the freezer, and voila! My puppy has severe separation anxiety and gets quite vocal in her crate when I leave for work. If I throw a Kong in before tiptoeing out, she's like, "Mom who?" and I've bought myself a 20 minute window. Note: in the 4 months since adopting this rescue, I've spent ridiculous money on her...this Kong is THE ONLY item (toys, beds, clothing, leashes, etc.) that she hasn't demolished in short order. An excellent product!!!

There is nothing "extreme" about the small version of these Kong toys. The larger ones have been great for us, a medium red one lasted years with a 140lb mastiff. We tried two of the small ones for our 20lb frenchie, and he had the top section chewed off within 30 minutes each time. We will never buy the small size again, there just isn't enough durability like the larger options.

My pit bull is a serious destroyer of toys. This has held up and keeps him occupied for quite a while trying to get the treats out. He hasn't destroyed the larger red (regular) Kong either but the treats are too easy to get out of that one. Wish there were more toy options for mega-chewers.

I purchased two of these for our three dogs, mainly for our super power chewers— rottie and Great Dane. They were awesome at first, and definitely a favorite of my GD! But as soon as he had a few treats in it or peanut butter in it, he figured out a way to get the treats out ASAP! Like within 2 minutes of giving it to him, every single time now, no matter what treats we put in it! I’m not sure how he does it, and it’s not Kong’s fault. Our other two pups are still entertained by these for long periods of time. We’ve had them now for a few months and they’re played with often but show no signs of wear and tear!

We used to have the regular red Kong for our Cavalier King Charles, Ernest Hemingway. Ernest like his namesake is a chow hound so we had to put his cut up apples and frozen bananas in his Kong to slow him down from eating too much. After not much time the red Kong fell apart. We now fill the Extreme Dog Toy Kong with his low calorie treats and voila'. Problem solved.

The black version of kong brand stands up to what it says. Durable for heavy chewers. I love to fill these with a little kong spray and easy treat or freeze some pure pumpkin inside. It makes getting the treat out last a little longer. Highly recommend if your dogs usually destroy everything within minutes.

I have a pit bull who can destroy just about any chew toy, even red kongs, but this black one is very heavy duty so I can feel safe letting him play with it. Sometimes I fill it with a mixture of wet and dry food and freeze it. Other times I just smear a finger full of peanut butter around the inside to give him something to keep from getting bored.

We are fostering a dog for the local shelter. The 100 lb, mostly Yellow Lab is a 1-2 yr old very energetic boy has destroyed most toys presented to him. After seeing the praises of the Kong, I purchased the best model. The first night I put a few treats in it and he pounced as usual. The second night I add some peanut butter with the treats to slow him down more. The next morning, it was in 2 disappointing pieces.
