KONG Tug Dog Toy

We have two dogs, a 10 yr old Border Collie and a 3 yr old American Fox Hound. They play very differently, the border collie is all about fetch and hard toys (frequently destroying toys). The hound loves soft toys and rough housing. We had been trying for months to find something they would both play enjoy, hopefully together. I bought this toy, originally for me to play tug a war with the hound. It is a slight softer Kong rubber which the puppy loves, but it is also very durable. After a few days the dogs started playing tug a war with each other. Again I was nervous the toy wouldn't hold up, but it has. It has been almost 6 months and countless hours of tug of war and heavy chewing and it is We have two dogs, a 10 yr old Border Collie and a 3 yr old American Fox Hound.

I am buying a second one because they love it so much. … more

My 8 mo old GSD puppy was SO excited about this toy. She plucked it from the Chewy box as soon as I opened it. I tried pulling it from her to remove the cardboard backing and it ripped at the connector point. It's really thin extremely soft squishy rubber. I thought it would be made of the same material as the Kong classic toys but unfortunately it's not.

This tug toy lasted about 10 minutes, I expected as much, but since it’s a Kong I thought it’d last allot longer. I think this would be suitable for smaller sized dogs who aren’t aggressive chewers though. The concept is great just wished it was made better for larger breeds. I gave this product 3 stars for the product design and function, however this isn’t strong enough for big chewers or larger breeds. I do recommend this product for breeds under 50lbs or dogs that aren’t chewers.

My baby girl loves this toy more than anything the funny thing is when we moved into our new house we actually found this toy in our backyard so I cleaned it up and everything so she could play with it lasted her about 3-5 months I wanna say but the I was very happy that I was able to find another one and she was over the moon happy about it

This tug toy didn’t last a day. It was delivered yesterday afternoon and by bedtime it was broken on both sides. I have a lab mix and akita who generally only are able to keep the rubber kong -like toys, so I was hopeful for this one as they have been taken up to playing tug-of-war with socks recently.

I would not recommend this for large dogs as this split in half the first time Fiona tugged on it with me, I have rated it 3 stars because as always, Chewy customer service is always amazing! When I emailed them to return it, they refunded my money immediately and apologized for the inconvenience. I will always shop with Chewy!

I'm a huge fan of Kong toys but I always buy the black for Extreme Chewers. I have two dogs and they loved playing tug of war with this but within a couple of days they had bitten through it and I had to throw it out. I wish it were available in the black. I don't recommend this for anyone who has dogs who are enthusiastic tug of war players.

Our pittie goes through ropes like nobody’s business. I saw this thinking it may last longer. So far (~1 month) it’s held up decently well, however likely not for long. It started creating small tears in the rubber within a week of usage. I’m sure it won’t be much longer until one of them tears through. It’s nice that it absorbs much of the intense tugging compared to a rope, and doesn’t leave small strands scattered about.

We bought this tug toy because our dog loves to play tug and our other kong toys have been super durable. Unfortunately this tug toy started to crack within an hour of play time. Maybe ours was defective or the rubber is old, either way we expected more from this product.

We are giving this toy a 1 star only because zero star is not an available option. We have a 1 year old St. Bernard puppy and we usually buy a lot of Kong toys but this tug-a-war toy is made of very soft rubber material and dog teeth will tear the Kong toy with in minutes, rendering the toy useless. We tried two of the Kong toys and they both lasted less than 30 minutes.
