KONGClassic Dog Toy - Durable Natural Rubber - Fun to Chew, Chase and Fetch - For XXL Dogs

I have not given a rating for durability as my dachshunds have only had these for two days, time will tell as they can destroy most things!I don’t know why it has taken me so long to buy them these kongs, given one of them especially is food orientated and begs for anything and everything. So, these make her work for the piece of cheese she gets when I make a sandwich. I put a small piece in each one, large enough though so it doesn’t just fall out and off they trot with them. They then spend a long time getting that cheese out. It’s genius and much better than the treat dispensers I have already to try and stimulate them, which they quickly worked out how to get into so treats were obtained from them in under a minute, so I’d stopped using them.I think dogs work out their own ways of getting things out of these. My female is currently throwing hers in the air onto the floor in the hope it will break up what is inside, they also lick in the dispensing hole to make the things inside soggy to make them easier to slip out to eat.You can fill these with lots of things, so vegetables, etc and I like the idea that in the summer I could put things in and then put them in the freezer, especially if we get another summer like this years heat.I also have the kong paste to go in them, but don’t use it each time as it isn’t cheap and kong biscuits. The biscuits fit in well and they do have to try hard to get them out so one biscuit lasts a long time and it is keeping them occupied for extended periods but it is only one biscuit, so not to many in a day to pile on the pounds.I have also bought the medium version of these to mix it up a bit for them.Easy to clean, for inside I use an old toothbrush to get anything remaining out. I don’t know if you could dishwasher them, don’t want to run the risk of ruining them.Definitely a worthwhile investment. In the photo, the purple thing next to the kong is a make up spatula. I ordered them so that when I put paste or pate in the kongs, rather than have to spread it round inside of kong with my finger (as the pastes are disgusting to me, the human,) I use one of these spatulas and then chuck it in the dishwasher once done. It was a pack of 5 at under a fiver and it is meaning a little paste can go a long way.

Bought for my daughters puppy. He loves it, but he will soon outgrow it, much smaller than expected.

I always thought kong toys were great until I bought this kong toy for my small dog, in less than 30 mins he had bitten the top off it. What a waste of money so very disappointed

We recently adpoted a retired greyhound and wanted a few things for him to do while we were out as he's our only dog. We initially bought the original size Kong which was way too small for his pointy greyhound nose, despite their long tongue! The XXL is just the right size. The hole at the bottom is big enough for him to get his tongue in, but it's till challenging enough to keep his interest. At the moment we've only put peanut butter in but he loves it and really gets stuck in. He's not a great chewer, so I can't comment on how it would stand up to a devoted chew.It can sometimes be difficult to get the last remaining bits of peanut butter out but I bought a washing up brush that fits inside which is perfect for the job. You can dishwasher the Kongs but I didn't like the idea of having the dog's stuff in with my human crockery etc.All in all I recommend the XXL size for greyhounds and they certainly give a treat that lasts a while. We find chew sticks etc are no match for greyhound teeth and are broken down and eaten in seconds so the Kong has been a really good purchase.

After doing some research on Kong and the different strengths in the rubber I decided to go with a classic red kong for my puppy jack. As do others I like to layer it with different treats and pop it in the crate or whilst we have dinner they have it just to keep them occupied.I would recommend if you have a confident chewing puppy to go for the red Kong. It lasts a lot longer and more durable than the pink/blue puppy ones.

This is a good product but you can get it cheaper everywhere. Even pets at home had it for 1/3 of the price. I wrongly assumed Amazon would have had a good price. It is small too, so just check sizing before buying. I was very disappointed

5 stars

My dogs chewed these in no time
