Product Description
Kong's exclusive red natural rubber is puncture resistant, super bouncy, and chewer friendly. It is unmatched for resilience, durability, and bounce. Kong satisfies a dog's natural need to chew and also cleans teeth and conditions gums. The thick, flexible walls keep springing back for more! Kong rubber is non-toxic, nonabrasive, non-splintering, and does not get sharp when chewed. Kong toys are enthusiastically used and recommended by veterinarians, trainers, dog professionals and satisfied customers world wide. Made in the USA. For Maximum Safety: 1. Supervise use. 2. Inspect toy frequently. 3. Remove damaged toy. Important Safety Information: No dog toy is indestructible! All dogs have powerful jaw muscles and sharp teeth. Most dogs chew 40 to 60 times per minute with a force of 1,200 to 1,500 pounds per square inch. Kongs are safe, beneficial toys designed by people who know and love dogs, but ultimately, your dog's safety is your responsibility. Every dog is a unique individual and no one can predict how long a Kong will last with your dog. Note: If your dog destroys a Kong in a short period of time, it is probably too small. Regular use of a Kong by your dog will increase jaw strength, so you may eventually need to provide larger red or black Kongs. Supervise the use of toys. Frequently inspect the clean toy under a bright light. Look for damage (such as missing pieces, cracks, separations). Flex the toy and inspect it from different angles. Loose pieces larger than a f

This funny-shaped rubber chew packs a huge play value into a compact package. Legendary among dog lovers for their strength and durability, Kong toys are the answer to a busy pet owner's prayers. Dogs were made to hunt, chase, and gnaw, and denied a way to satisfy these natural urges, they can turn into barkers, diggers, problem chewers, or worse. Recommended by vets and trainers for dogs with separation anxiety, the Kong has a hollow interior that's ideal for stuffing with treats. Use peanut butter or soft cheese like glue to keep biscuits inside, and extracting the contents becomes a "hunt" to keep any pooch happy and busy all workday long. Dogs love the toys' goofy, unpredictable bounce and can chase, fetch, and play for hours. Chewing Kongs even helps promote strong jaws, clean teeth, and general oral health. Often imitated but never equalled, Kongs are made in the USA from a thick, flexible rubber that's non-toxic, non-splintering, and puncture-resistant enough to stand up to even the strongest jaws. This red Tuffy is appropriate for typical medium- to large-sized dogs, from basset hounds on up to some standard poodles; size up (and/or switch to a super-durable black Kong) for aggressive chewers. Regularly inspect your Kong for cracks or missing chunks, and replace worn or damaged toys to avoid a choking hazard. Satisfaction is guaranteed; if either you or your dog aren't happy with your purchase, return within 30 days for a full refund. --Mary Park

 love the darn thing! June 14, 2008
love it! i've had the large red classic for some months now and aside from a few teeth marks, my golden retriever has not chewed through this toy, unlike all his other toys which lasts approximately 2 days. It's also a great alternative to throwing toy balls as you really don't know where it's going to go end up as it keeps bouncing and bouncing. It's also great to put treats inside and make them figure out how to get it and on hot days, i'd freeze the toy with water inside so it cools them down while they're playing.
Great dog toy, strong, keeps them occupied February 9, 2008

We have two Vizsla puppies who are strong chewers and need lots of excitement to keep them occupied. The Kong has been great. We have compared them to the Canine Genius and like the Kong much much better (the food/treats stay inside a lot longer, they hold up better to dog chewing, and the dogs like them more). Highly recommend the Kong, use Peanut Butter or soft cheese to make the treats stay inside even longer.

Excellent toy for dogs. It's fun to play with and chew on. You can even stuff food inside to give your dog something to do while you are away. If your dog is chewing things you don't want them to and you'd like more guidance on this or any other dog training information, check out www.webdogtrainer.com for more info!
 Bad choice for big dog. January 7, 2008
We have black kongs and love them but constantly step on them and roll our ankles. So we thought the red ones would be easier to see. We just assumed they were all indistructible. They are not. Our pit bull had chewed the red ones completely up in a matter of hours. Our bad. But we really didn't know there was a difference.
Dangerous toy for chewing dog under 50 lbs December 12, 2007

I have a 10 year old Dalmation weighing about 42lbs. The top ring is very weak for a chewing dog. This happened the first day I received the Kong. There was no food in the Kong. I had to pull the top ring from the back of her throat. Very scarry!
