KONG Genius Mike Dog Toy, Color Varies

I've bought 2 of these for my dogs now and they have lasted a little while depending on which of my dogs chews it more. As far as mental stimulation, it keeps my husky occupied for a long time especially since she's not a super chewer and doesn't necessarily destroy her toys. She very much prefers to extract the treats by thinking and persistence as oppose to just demolishing anything between her and her food. My other dog, however, if he's able to get a hold of it WILL absolutely shred this toy and pieces will be everywhere (possibly within minutes). I would say this toy is slightly less durable than the classic red kong, but also more stimulating. Unfortunately, this toy won't work for us anymore I've bought 2 of these for my dogs now and they have lasted a little while depending on which of my dogs chews it more.

All in all, great for mental stimulation for those dogs that love to think their way to their treats and definitely not for any dog over a moderate chewer. … more

I love the idea of this toy because it works so well for stuffing things in there and giving my dog a challenge to get them out. However, the rubber material is not as strong as other Kong products and my dog has the end chewed off within the first use of it. Every one of them breaks at the same location every time. I have gone through about 8 of these now and will no longer buy them because they just don’t last and are too expensive to keep replacing.

This is the best toy for my dog who has some anxiety when we leave the house. I stuff it with turkey jerky and push it toward the middle of the inside of the toy - really tight. She will take it, chew the ends, roll on her back and hold it with her two paws in the air to see if something will fall out. It keeps her super busy and motivated as we walk out the door. It is always empty when we get home. It's her favorite toy. I like to give it as a gift too.

I thought this would be a great option to keep my 6 month old lab/pit pup occupied since she destroyed all her stuffed toys. She had this toy for 5 minutes when I noticed that the rubber was beginning to tear. Unfortunately already in the garbage with the rest of her toy graveyard.

This began to crumble in my dogs mouth within the first few minutes of play. It wasn't the result of aggressive chew, rather, the result of a defective product. You can tell because it started to break off in smooth geometric patters rather than his teeth-shape. I'm really disappointed in this and for the first time EVER, the KONG brand.

I got this thinking it would last as a toy for my bullys to play with during the day while they are out side and I’m doing chores. within the first day they had it tore up. I have the big round ones that are amazing but if you have a chewer i do not recommend this toy for them. Other wise my dogs loved it! It is good for fetch!

Was very disappointed with this KONG toy. My pup had it for no more than 10 minutes when the rubber started flaking off into tiny pieces. I guess this toy isn't intended for dogs that are chewers? Bummer since we have really liked all other KONG items we have purchased

This Kong seems to have gotten a bit sturdier since we bought the same one a few years ago. This is probably a good thing, since the old one succumbed to my dog's modest chewing. He works a little harder on this one to get his biscuit out -- also a good thing.

Did not last even 5 minutes. I never even had a chance to put treats in it. My pup destroyed this toy! Power chewers beware it will not hold like the actual Kongs do. Very disappointed in this king toy. Should have looked through more of the reviews.

So maybe my shepherd lab isn’t a genius, but it’s so tough to get treats out of this thing! The only way is for your dog to chew hard on the toy which breaks up the kibble/treats, while the fall out the sides in tiny specks that you have to vacuum up later. I tried shoving a rawhide bone in there which kept her entertained for a long time (and even left bite marks on it), but the bottom was so stuck it eventually took me prying the soggy thing out with a spoon. Solution: on one side I cut one of the flaps off, and now it’s perfect. She can roll it and flip it around and eventually food will come out without her losing interest.
