Best Fetch Dog Toy
-
The durability.
I have 3 German Shepards and these balls are their favorite toys. They bounce very well on different surfaces, too big to be swallowed but easy for them to play keep away.
-
The bright color
Our buddy is a super chewer. He LOVES this ball, it is his first choice. Two weeks of chewing and not one tooth mark. Very durable and makes our German Shepherd very happy.
-
Our pitties favorite toy
Our pitties love to chase and retrieve this ball. Then he will lay and chew on it for a long time. They hold up well.
Best Dog Plush Toy
-
Favorite Toy
This is the favorite toy of my Belgian Malinois. I would suggest getting the extra large and plan on replacing it every few months.
-
DURABILITY!
This moose has been chewed, mercilessly, by a LARGE Golden Doodle. It has been carried, thrown, chewed, chewed, chewed.... STILL squeeking and not falling apart! THIS IS A FIRST...no other toy, regardless of brand, has lasted over 24 hours. SO Marvin has been holding his own for over 5 days! He is always fondly carried, and slept with....perfect!
-
Nice Toy but have a concern
The Bassett’s are very happy with this toy. They are able to hold it in their mouths comfortably. It’s a nice size for them. Only wish the squeaker was larger as our bassett loves to make her toys squeak and these new squeakers are very small and difficult to find. They are small and circular. Not large and oblong like they used to be. Concerned that they might be a choking hazard. Disappointed as Kong usually makes quality toys.
Best Dog Puzzle Toy
-
Great for slowing down a fast eater!
My dog caught on pretty quickly how to get food out of this. It's great because it gives her some stimulation and it slows down her eating. She is still fast but not as fast as using a bowl. I like this so much that I ordered 3 additional different ones in the advanced series.
-
interactive game
My Cavalier is a very picky eater. She has enjoyed sniffing out and then, consuming her food! She quickly figured out how to open and move the little boxes.
-
Winner chicken dinner
My aussie baby gets too bored with a standard bowl for her meals. When I put her kibble in this puzzle, she eats it all! Usually. I have to mix it up.
Best Tug-of-War Toy for Dogs
-
Good distraction
This is a good distraction during quiet time when Loki isn't trying to throw it around. He has managed to tear at the strings, but they come off in little pieces, unlike most of the rope-style toys.
-
Cotton rope with bones
Both of my strong teeth dog chewers like this product. I have repurchased this item. Dogs may eventually chew the rope away, but they still enjoy chewing on the bones. I would recommend this product.
-
Not sharing
Both of our dogs love this toy, I may have to buy another because there is a lot of whining while waiting your turn.
Best Dog Chew Toy
-
Well made and fun!
Our dog loves to bounce it around the house when it’s empty and we love to fill the Kong with treats and use it for crate training.
-
Durable and a great redirector
My puppy looks forward to her favorite Kong treat every day. I fill 3/4 with kibble then seal with peanut butter. Other times we fill with cheese or other purchased treats.
-
None Better!
I have a 14 yr. old akita mix that devours every toy we have gotten him. He never stops tearing them apart so most only last less than a day. In 14 yrs. we have bought 4 lg. kongs which he gets nightly. That is a record none can beat. Plus no nylon shards in your dogs gut.
Best Treat-Dispensing Dog Toy
-
A crowd pleaser!
All of my girls (4.5lb Chorkie to 40lb Border/Aussie) love this ball and any dog friends who have visited or have been gifted one love it!
-
It's TOUGH!
My dog is what I'd refer to as a Agressive Chewer. I've seen her tear apart a chew toy in less than an hour. The fact that she's still enjoying this toy after 1 week, and that the toy is still 100% intact, says a lot about it's durability.
-
Strong but soft on his jaw.
It is one of the few dog toys he can’t chew up. He loves to catch it when we throw it.
Best Puppy Toy
-
Puppy loves it!
My puppy absolutely loves this toy! He will spend hours during the day playing, tossing and chewing on this toy. It’s by far one of his favorites!
-
Great for my small puppy
I have a 7lb German shepherd x Rottweiler mix puppy and she loooves this. Definitely a necessity for little teething babies.
-
These are wonderful
I have purchased these many times. My dogs love them. I recently purchased them for some foster pups I have so when they go to their new homes they can take a brand new one with them.
Best Hide-and-Seek Dog Toy
-
the look
My dog loved this and it was perfect to give him a little challenge. He did manage to obliterate the avocado leaving stuffing everywhere, but that's usually what he does.
-
Puppies Favorite!
I don’t know why but my two different age, unrelated puppies adore playing with this toy. My Chiweenie has adopted the avocado as her baby!
-
A must-have toy!
My 9-month-old Cockapoo is obsessed with this toy! She will play with it for hours he longest time. For some reason, she particularly loves the little avocado toy that goes inside it.
Best Dog Squeaky Toys
-
Great Toys
My dog loves playing with these! He usually rips the stuffing out and that is the end of the toy! He loves the squeaker in them also. Hasnt destroyed them yet!
-
no stuffing!!
My dogs love playing with these toys. I love them due to the fact that they don't have stuffing! They can play all day and I don't have to clean up after them.
-
My cocker spaniel puppy loved these!
Copper is 8 months old and always goes for these toys first since he can easily squeak them compared to other stuffed animals.
Best Toy for Large Dogs
-
Dogs love it and indestructible
I've had dogs go through a lot of "indestructible" toys. Can say that we have three of these, and dogs have never damaged one at all. And they use them to play tug of war with. Very impressed with their durability.
-
Durability & distance
This Kong frisbee is a must have. Nothing is indestructible, so if you leave it unattended, you get what you get. However my GSD, who is quite the chewer, is smart enough not to chew it. We have two of these. Their distance is a four out of five stars, but I don’t want it going over my fence so I haven’t gone overboard as to its limits. I’m admittedly, not the best frisbee thrower in the world, so I’m very satisfied. We recently added a Chuckit! Glow-in-the-dark Frisbee to the collection and it’s distance is incredible. Loyal to our Kong frisbees first and foremost.

Doesn’t fly, but a BIG hit with my Shih Tzu
My little Shih Tzu loves frisbees! Flying isn’t a necessity for him, as he enjoys rolling them on their edge, carrying them around, and flipping them in the air to try and catch them. He has yet to catch one, but that doesn’t dampen his enthusiasm. The problem with all of the others I’ve bought is they don’t hold up to him gnawing on them. He’s not an aggressive chewer, but the others were made of hard plastic that shattered. This Kong frisbee is made of very soft, flexible rubber. It’s too floppy to roll on its edge, which he would love, but he loves shaking it and chasing it when I throw it. It’s a stretch to consider it a...
Best Toy for Tough Chewers
-
Chew toy
My dogs can’t get enough of these chew toys! Endless fun and chew time for all three of my dogs
-
Awesome chew toy.
My male puppy loves this chew toy even though he still chews on other things. Guess it's because he's still a puppy.
-
Dog broke pieces off
Dog loved it but he is a powerful chewer and started to break pieces off. Would be good for other dogs just not my powerful guy
