The invention of the "Kong" is maybe one of my favorites (second to air conditioning) and I know my dog agrees. I have a greyhound who suffered a slight bout of separation anxiety after I adopted him from the track. I needed something to keep him busy and get him excited about my departure to work. The Kong is the answer. I'm sure this sounds weird, but I bought 5 of them one for each day of the week I have to work. Every Sunday I make a combination of oatmeal, non-fat plain yogurt (good for their tummies) and peanut butter. I heat up the oatmeal and add the yogurt and peanut butter while the oatmeal is hot it creates a really nice combination of delicious things to fill the Kong with easily. I take the Kong, put some kibbles of his dog food in first, then I pour the mixture of items into a large, durable ziplock baggy and cut a hole in the corner. I squeeze a good amount of the oatmeal, yogurt, and PB into each kong, leaving a bit of space for a milk bone to stick out of the bigger hole on the end of the Kong. I put all 5 in the freezer and give my greyhound one each day. He gets SO excited when he sees a kong come out of the freezer, that he runs full speed into his kennel and waits for me. The Kong keeps him occupied for HOURS and because it's frozen, it lasts even longer and he spends forever licking and biting at the Kong to get the goodies out. Dogs need something to do with their mouths. They use their muzzles like we use our hands. A stuffed Kong can prevent so many behavioral issues like destructive chewing or excessive vocalization from boredom or anxiety. Also, Kongs are without a doubt the most durable toy on the market. They last ages and ages. I recommend them to everybody with a dog.

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!

My Boston Terrier LOVES this toy. It is fun to use as a fetch toy and has an unpredictable bounce. My dog will stand on the couch, throw the kong himself, and runs after it when I am too busy to throw it for him. For a special treat, I put cheerios or dog food in the toy with a little peanut butter and he is occupied for a good 30 minutes trying to get every piece out. When he is in a chewing mood he will gnaw at this thing for a long time. He has never tried to chew on any furniture because he loves this toy so much. We have had this toy for over a year, and it does have some little pieces missing. The manufacturer says you should take the toy away in that casebut I don't think it is necessary. Small pieces will come right out the other end with no trouble!

Excellent toy!

I LOVE Kong. I have the medium blue and white puppy kong and I have the large red ones (because they came with the Kongtime I bought). I have a 6 month old border collie puppy and he can play with the large ones just fine. The medium ones fit in his mouth just ight though. I like both but I like the large ones because I will stuff them with a mixture of dry and wet food and freeze it overnight. I put it in his crate with him the next morning before I leave for work and it lasts him a long time. In fact This morning he found his King from yesterday and kept finding small amounts of dry food that was stuck inside. He figured out to pick it up and "throw" drop it on the ground to knock them loose. This a great toy for normal chewers who get bored. IF your dog is chewing these apart then you need the black kong for strong chewers.

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.
