Amazon.com Review
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

Keeps a German Shepherd Happy
My German shepherd loves this toy. As both my husband and I work we have to leave her alone for 8 hours a day. I give her a kong filled with treats each morning and often when I get home that she is still working on getting the stuff out. Any toy that keeps this chewing machine occupied for that long is worth its weight in gold!

A breakfast/lunch/dinner bucket + excercise
I have used medium sized Kongs as a
breakfast/lunch/dinner bucket for our
Bichon for over five years. I stuff it with
a dried liver treat, a combination of
Eukanuba and Max and a Medium Dog Bone.

His five to eight trips a day for Kong
refills provides a break from my sedentary
home office activities. Recently I had
collapsed lung surgery and now use
the filling of Kongs for a six minute
treadmill break. He now joins me on the
treadmill for about the first three minutes
before jumping off to work on his latest
Kong. Kongs are a lasting feature in our lives.
The Amazon Provider of a two years supply
of Kongs (6) was excellent and very competitively
priced. I recommend both the Kong and Supplier
at a 5 star level.

A Good Toy For A Dog Who Likes To Chew
When I got my 8 week old Golden Retriever puppy I bought him a small sized kong. He liked it although it didn't intertain him for very long. The liver and beef treats worked well and he liked them alot. At least he couldn't chew it open! I would rate it a 4.
