Kong Toys

[tricia beaver]

Just wondering what other dog people think of their products.
Personally I like them. I actually got listed on the New Member gift basket contest winner list, and I sent a email to claim it. I'm excited! Plus its pretty much going to be a christmas present for them.
So what do you guys think of them?

Kong toys are a big hit here!

[Unosmom]

Uno love the squeaky tennis balls, though they dont last. Its probably the only thing he actually plays with.

I love the regular Kongs. We don't use them much here anymore but when they were puppies those things were a life saver! I'd stuff 'em with whatever I could get my hands on and then give them to the puppy the next day and they'd be outta my hair for a good 30-45 min.

I'm not a big fan of them, My apbt Zoey that I had years ago used to get through an XL sized one in little more than 3 days, and i had to throw it away as it became a choking hazard. For the money we spent on those things I would have tried a Goughnut in it's place for sheer strength.

Their plush toys are okay, they don't stand up to my current dog for long at all, and he's disinterested in the rubber stuff, but the squeaky balls that Uno is talking about are a big hit, I do wish that they would change the squeak to make it a bit louder though...

The genius toys are pretty awesome, they keep him occupied for about 45 minutes, which is more than i can say for many other toys. But anything involving food is usually something he will work for a while.

The Wubba... his favorite thing in the whole world, he's wrecked a few of them, and we just haven't gotten around to getting another one, i'm actually waiting to get one from doggyloot, or Barkingdeals

We had one of the sticks as well, you can see in my avatar, we only let him play with it when he was wanting to be "chased" and he still punctured it with his canines as he was running about eluding us, i was pretty shocked that the nylon they used was so weak, kinda disappointed actually.

duke has a regular kong extreme and an extreme kong bone (the black rubber ones) - I stuff them with sardines and/or natural peanut butter and freeze them, keeps him occupied for ages. and he is a crazy bad chewer, wrecks cheap toys in an instant, but doesnt seem too interested in chewing these to bits lol I think he's realised he loses the things the shreds

david, I got duke a wubba for christmas (along with a retrieval ball that floats, to take to the beach), I hope he loves it but doesnt destroy it too quick haha it might be his "supervised inside" toy lol, keep it clean and in one piece lol

I was in Central Park this morning and talking with a woman who owns a labrador. She was saying that her dog destroys any and all toys, balls, etc. Even the super hard-core Kongs. But she said that the company does hold fast to their guarantee that they will refund your money if your dog does destroy it. She sent the chewed up bits back to the company and she got her money back.

Just FYI.

I like the regular kong toy for playing fetch, it bounces all over the place so he thinks that's wonderful. I have a kong genius for feeding meals in (because it takes both wet and dry food) so I think that's great too. Tucker loves the squeaking tennis balls, he's been spoiled by them and doesn't really like ones that don't squeak. I don't think I've used anything else, at least not that I can think of.

Just don't let them "hunker down" and chew on it, we made that mistake once thinking that he'd not get through it, and he chewed the ball out of the top and shredded the nylon all over. so now it's strictly an "interactive" toy
