Advantages: Hard to damage

Disadvantages: Our pup finds boring without treat added to the Kong

Our pup loves her puppy kong. It is a rubber toy that has a hole in where if you choose you can pop treats into.

The puppy kong that we have is pink marble in colour. It is made from an unique rubber which is to help your pups teeth and gums as they play with the toy. The packaging of the Kong states that the toy will :
Assists in teething.
Aids in healthy development of your dog's mouth.
Promotes essential play.
Encourages proper chewing habits.
Soothes sore gums.

I read this and thought it sounded like a great investment as a toy. Our pup loves to bite and chew on the kong toy. However I must say it does not seem to be her favourite toy. The shape of the toy makes it difficult to be held by her paws as she plays. Due to the circular shape of this particular kong it tends to roll around a lot. The only time I would say that she goes to play with the Kong is when we place one of the Kong treats into the opening at the top of the Kong. The Kong treats are small biscuit type treats that when you squeeze the opening at the top of the Kong you can slip one half way in and it holds fast in the toy. Our pup does enjoy biting the treat out of the Kong but she mostly only manages to get half a treat!

I must say the toy is very robust and she has not damaged it or chewed it to pieces at all. I would buy her another Kong toy in the future but I would choose one of the different shapes that are available. The Kong is available for different breeds on different sizes and shapes.

The Kong is available from pets stores and the Pup Kong costs £4.99 (with the treats to fill it at about £3.99)

Summary: Long lasting toy
