Kong Toys...appear tough, but are not really.

Ok, I have to start this off by saying that I love kong toys....if I was buying for a small dog. Perhaps if you are buying for your cocker spaniel or beagle, these toys would work. However, while the tag may say that they are large dog friendly or that its "durability is legendary," don't be fooled. We went through the dental extra large red kong toy that you stuff with food in a couple of days. The problem with this toy is, that while the thought of keeping your dog entertained with the search for food, is appealing, its not so appealing when your dog figures out that the fastest way to get the treat is ripping through the entire toy instead of just licking the opening. For us, this disaster of a toy meant cleaning up peanut butter and doggie cookies off the floor after Dublin had chewed through the entire thing.

Conclusion: On a scale from 1-10, (10 being the strongest,) this dental kong is definitely a 4. Although it is meant for dogs over 50 lbs, this toy is not meant for pitbull teeth. We will definitely be trying the extreme kong that is "supposed" to be for the most voracious chewers...as their label says. We will see how long it takes for Dublin to rip through that one. We will keep you posted.

Love, AP & Dublin
