This funny-shaped rubber chew packs a huge play value into a compact package. Legendary among dog lovers for their strength and durability, Kong toys are the answer to a busy pet owner's prayers. Dogs were made to hunt, chase, and gnaw, and denied a way to satisfy these natural urges, they can turn into barkers, diggers, problem chewers, or worse. Recommended by vets and trainers for dogs with separation anxiety, the Kong has a hollow interior that's ideal for stuffing with treats. Use peanut butter or soft cheese like glue to keep biscuits inside, and extracting the contents becomes a "hunt" to keep any pooch happy and busy all workday long. Dogs love the toys' goofy, unpredictable bounce and can chase, fetch, and play for hours. Chewing Kongs even helps promote strong jaws, clean teeth, and general oral health. Often imitated but never equalled, Kongs are made in the USA from a thick, flexible rubber that's non-toxic, non-splintering, and puncture-resistant enough to stand up to even the strongest jaws. This red Tuffy is appropriate for typical medium- to large-sized dogs, from basset hounds on up to some standard poodles; size up (and/or switch to a super-durable black Kong) for aggressive chewers. Regularly inspect your Kong for cracks or missing chunks, and replace worn or damaged toys to avoid a choking hazard. Satisfaction is guaranteed; if either you or your dog aren't happy with your purchase, return within 30 days for a full refund. --Mary Park
Product Description
Kong's exclusive red natural rubber is puncture resistant, super bouncy, and chewer friendly. It is unmatched for resilience, durability, and bounce. Kong satisfies a dog's natural need to chew and also cleans teeth and conditions gums. The thick, flexible walls keep springing back for more! Kong rubber is non-toxic, nonabrasive, non-splintering, and does not get sharp when chewed. Kong toys are enthusiastically used and recommended by veterinarians, trainers, dog professionals and satisfied customers world wide. Made in the USA. For Maximum Safety: 1. Supervise use. 2. Inspect toy frequently. 3. Remove damaged toy. Important Safety Information: No dog toy is indestructible! All dogs have powerful jaw muscles and sharp teeth. Most dogs chew 40 to 60 times per minute with a force of 1,200 to 1,500 pounds per square inch. Kongs are safe, beneficial toys designed by people who know and love dogs, but ultimately, your dog's safety is your responsibility. Every dog is a unique individual and no one can predict how long a Kong will last with your dog. Note: If your dog destroys a Kong in a short period of time, it is probably too small. Regular use of a Kong by your dog will increase jaw strength, so you may eventually need to provide larger red or black Kongs. Supervise the use of toys. Frequently inspect the clean toy under a bright light. Look for damage (such as missing pieces, cracks, separations). Flex the toy and inspect it from different angles. Loose pieces larger than a f

 Great for dogs who need jobs! August 24, 2008
Our border collie mix needs lots of mental stimulation, and Kong provides a great way to turn her mealtimes into games. We put her kibble ("small bites") into the Kong and seal off the end with peanut butter. She loves the challenge of getting the kibble out.
As a bonus, it extends the time it takes her to consume a meal from five seconds to five minutes, which can only be good for her digestive system.
Kong is also very durable. Our Maggie is a power chewer, disemboweling every toy in her path, but the Kong still looks like new.
We have several of Kong's competitor toys as well, but none works as well as Kong. The ball-shaped feeder toys tend to roll under furniture and disappear for weeks at a time. Others dispense the food too quickly. Kong has it just right.
Lab loves Kong July 22, 2008
Our almost 4 year old Lab has played with classic kongs since puppyhood. He likes the way they bounce and the sound they make. The kong is easy for him to carry he hooks his canine in the whole and off he goes. Unfortunatly his looses them in the irrigation ditch. Guess that is what keeps the company in business. I would recommend this toy to any dog owner. Thanks for a great product.
love the darn thing! June 14, 2008
love it! i've had the large red classic for some months now and aside from a few teeth marks, my golden retriever has not chewed through this toy, unlike all his other toys which lasts approximately 2 days. It's also a great alternative to throwing toy balls as you really don't know where it's going to go end up as it keeps bouncing and bouncing. It's also great to put treats inside and make them figure out how to get it and on hot days, i'd freeze the toy with water inside so it cools them down while they're playing.
 Tiny Kong April 15, 2008
Small Kong is not what this is. It is tiny, finger (pinky finger) puppet size.
 Dog loved it, but not indestructable... April 10, 2008
Dog loved it, but not indestructible. He goes at this forlong periods of time when there's a treat in it. Would recommend for a puppy of appropriate size. We'll be moving onto the medium one soon.
