About This Product

Product Description

Kongs are widely used for therapy and prevention of boredom, separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. Regular use of Kongs can also improve oral health. Their unpredictable bounce lures most dogs into a game of chase, catch and chew. The hollow center can be filled with food and treats. A dab of peanut butter spread around the inside is very effective.

Providing food and/or treat stuffed Kongs for your dogs can keep them contentedly busy (working) and out of trouble for long periods of time. Add more stuffed Kongs to increase their work time.

Proper Kong sizing is determined by your dogs size and chewing temperament. Always Size Up - If your dog destroys a Kong in a short period of time, try a larger Kong and/or a Black Kong. Only provide a Kong sized for the largest and/or most tenacious chewer in the house.

Approx sizing guide:

  • Small for dogs 3-6kg (7cm long x 4.5cm widest diameter)
  • Medium for dogs 6-15kg (9cm long x 5.5cm widest diameter)
  • Large for dogs 15-25kg (10.5cm long x 7cm widest diameter)
  • Extra Large for dogs over 25kg (12.5cm long x 8.5cm widest diameter)
  • King (XXLarge) for dogs over 35kg (14.5cm long x 9.5cm widest diameter)

About KONG Brand

About KONG Brand

The year was 1976 and Joe Markham was a loving but puzzled pet parent to Fritz, a German Shepherd whose favorite hobby was chewing on rocks. One day, while working on a VW Bus, Joe began tossing auto parts to Fritz to lure him away from the rocks. Among those parts was a rubber suspension component and when it bounced over to Fritz, he was immediately drawn to it, picked it up and dropped it in Joe’s lap. Inspired by the erratic bounce and toughness of that rubber part, Joe created the KONG. And nearly 50 years later, KONG Classic is still a favorite toy for dogs.

Based in Golden, CO, all KONG Rubber and KONG Consumables are proudly made in the USA.

Red Kong

One dog loves his Kong and takes it everywhere, the other ignores it. Unlike the original Kongs the rubber does not last as long and crazes.

Kong Classic

I loved the concept of the Kong but it hasn’t been a great success in our house. Our 8 year old Bichon lost interest after the first try. Our 6 year old Bichon is a bit more interested but both being indoor dogs it becomes a bit messy with frozen treats. Any other food was out in minutes except for Peanut Butter but I don’t want that to become a staple in their treats.
I do think it’s a great idea for the right dog. You won’t know until you give it a try and I’m not giving up on it yet.

Terrier proof so far

Our Jack Russell loves chewing this and using it for fetch alone or with a friend. We have frozen bananas and blueberries inside as a treat whilst we are at work. highly recommended.
