Customer Reviews
When I first got my lab/aussie puppy, he would eat so fast that he'd make himself ill. The trainer suggested that I stuff his food into a Kong and make him work for it. 14 months later, he no longer scarfs his food, but he still loves his Kong. I've read tons of blogs, and the Kong site itself, on how to stuff a Kong and what to stuff it with. I find variety is the best, so while I use the same base ingredients, I toss in something special each time. I currently have 4 Kongs that I rotate between the dog, the dishwasher, and the freezer. I plug the hole in the bottom with a baby carrot, layer in kibble, unsweetened applesauce, shredded meat or canned food, plain Greek yogurt, chopped veggies or fruit, peanut butter or almond butter, broken treats-- whatever I have on hand, then into the freezer it goes. I try to make the first layer he gets something motivating, like applesauce or peanut butter, and the bottom layer something easy, like kibble. The deepest layer is hardest to get to, and the hardest to clean, so I want to be sure he can get it out. (If you decide to stuff your Kong this way, a good quality bottle brush is a must) My dog will spend at least an hour working on emptying the Kong. I have hard wood floors and while I've never noticed a mess from it, it might be different on carpet.
She'll sit there and chew this for hours. She really enjoys the game of chasing as it bounces random directions - usually 3 bounces off my hardwood. The 'small' is about the size of a computer mouse.
This will be our 3rd purchase of a Kong Classic and despite that, we still think they are great! We have a miniature dachshund who turns out is a "power chewer" and hence why we are on our 3rd one. We fill it with dog kibble and peanut butter or a mini milk bone treat and he just loves working to get the treats out. It bounces all crazy like when you toss it, so that is an added bonus.We've been using the Xtra-small and have just stepped up the small size. I think the Xtra-small holds all the treats better, but I'm hoping our "power chewer" will find the new larger size more difficult to destroy! We have learned that once the treats are gone, we pick up the Kong and put it away or if he continues to chew on it, he'll do the damage as shown in the photo. We may try the Kong Extreme if necessary, but for now we'll just supervise his activity and stay with the classic.
I bought the large size for my 40# lab mix puppy thinking it might be too big, but figuring she would grow into it. She took to it right away. If anything, she's able to clean it out faster than I expected with that crazy tongue of hers. It still keeps her very occupied for those times when she is bored or deserves a treat.
The only toy to date that my baby's 9 month old haven't demolished they play hard
