KONG Classic Dog Toy

I put a little pumpkin puree in the middle of this and freeze it. When my pup is getting crazy, I take this out and he's distracted for a good while.

The KONG Classic Dog Toy is pretty cool. I put peanut butter flavoring that I get from the pet store in it and it keeps my dog happy for hours!! I wish I had invented this toy. It's the only toy my dog will play with so I'm very satisfied I found this one.

I bought this when I first brought my German shepherd puppy home and fill it with peanut butter and freeze it and she loves it! Helps with her teething puppy teeth and keeps her busy!

My husband is K9 for the local Sheriff’s department and his two dogs love these! From the time they leave the kennel and get in the truck, they have a kong with them! They are virtually indestructible! #kong#k9life

The Kong is one of the only toys I would feel safe leaving any dog with. No dog toy is indestructible, but the Kong is the closest you can get. It is made of a durable, thick red rubber. They make sizes from xs to xxl. Sizes overlap, for example, the medium is for dogs 15-35 lbs and the large is 30-65 lbs. If your dog is in between sizes, I would go with the larger size. Kongs come in many durabilities: puppy, regular, extreme and senior. If you have a puppy that is under 6 months then choose the puppy as it is softer and you won't run the risk of chipping puppy's tooth. You can fill the Kong with peanut butter, yogurt, cheese, bananas, blueberries, apples sans seeds, dog food, etc. Kong even provides lots of "recipes" on their website for filling the Kong. They even have one that is like a five layer dip for dogs. You can even freeze the Kong and it will make the filling last longer and for those teething puppies it eases the pain by numbing the gums. Personally, I only give my dog her Kong when I leave and put her in her crate. I pull the Kong out of the freezer and she runs to her crate. She loves it! The Kong is great if you have a dog with separation anxiety. My dog had mild separation anxiety when I got her. Before I got the Kong, I could here her from the driveway crying because I had left and we have a two story home. After the Kong, I didn't hear a peep. Dogs with separation anxiety can benefit from having a toy that they only get when their owner leaves. It's like a symbol for them. For my dog it means, "Ok, mom is leaving but she's coming back and I know this because I have my Kong." The Kong can also help with those destructive dogs. Most destructive behaviors happen within the first 30 minutes of the owner leaving because they are so focused on their owner leaving and they get themselves worked up. If you give your dog a frozen Kong full of peanut butter then their mind is busy with the Kong and not busy ruining the furniture. I definitely say that everyone needs to have a Kong in their arsenal of toys. As their slogan says, "Your dog will love you for it."

My puppy began teething so I purchased this toy for him and he loves it. He is always playing with it he finds it very soothing and comforting I’m glad I purchased this for him and I’d definitely purchase this item again.

My doggie loves this toy! Sometimes I stuff this with peanut butter and she’s obsessed! She’s chewed it a lot and had no damage to the toy. My dog is small so she has a smaller size but they have different ones for every dog!!

My lab-pit mix has loved this since the first day we brought him home. It keeps him busy for long stretches of time which is always a plus! #furryfriends

KONG Classic Dog Toy after an entire day of playing-these 2 are completely played out. They spent hours running around with their Kong Toys in their mouths. One would drop theirs and the race was on to see who could get it, and still have the one they had! 😂. Very durable, still looks new after days of tossing it around.

Gracie loves her KONG Classic Dog Toy! It’s easy to fill and keeps her entertained for a long time! I love that it does not make a mess. For an extra treat, we will put the Kong in the freezer for a few hours. #furryfriends
