    5 Stars Kong Lives Forever 25/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Millions of uses (well, maybe not millions but quite a few)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages When dropped on foot, it hurts.

    ***** Kong Rules ***** There are many varieties of kong toys out there but this version is the traditional stuff it, throw it, chew it, tread on it and break an ankle edition. These classic kongs are also available in cat, bird, ferret and fish varieties - indeed the kong brochure shows a tiger playing with one - now if that's not an advert for durability then I don't know what is. ***** The Product ***** The classic kong is a cone shaped blob of rubber - sounds attractive and slightly phallic, doesn't it? There are versions that include ropes and flotation devices but if you could be arsed ... more

    4 Stars Long live the Kong! Review with images 06/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quality durable pet toy that can provide diversion and potentially help with a range of problems

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Smaller items can fall out. Can be messy. Not indestructible

    Since giving the ‘Kong Stuff-A-Ball’ dog toy a generally positive review recently, we decided it was time to try one of the original products in this range: the Kong Classic that’s claimed to be ‘The World’s Best Dog Toy’. This may be arguable but I can see now why it’s acquired such a reputation. No product is perfect but this one has been on the market for over 30 years and there have been plenty of favourable reviews. I don’t propose to replicate these here, but most of what we found with the ‘Stuff-A-Ball’ also applies to the Classic. It just seems that little bit more durable, which is no ... more

    5 Stars Kong! Is this really 'The World's Best Dog Toy'? 06/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Durable, versatile, excellent value for money, and really great fun!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Might hurt a little if a mere human stands in the path of the mighty Kong!

    In October 2004 I got my first dog - a mixed breed puppy, who I named Scamp. Like any responsible pet owner, I'd done extensive research before bringing him home and, time and time again, had heard 'Kongs' raved about. Eager to find out what all the fuss was about (it's just a dog toy, right?), I took the plunge and purchased a medium sized classic Kong. As far as dog toys go, these are pretty pricey - anywhere up to £13.99, depending upon size, strength and design. The one that I got - the classic design - was red, and like a round, cone shape that was hollow in the middle. It's difficult to ... more

    5 Stars King Kong!! 19/12/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very hardy, can be used as treat and a toy!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little expensive

    In 2004 I got my first puppy, Marley. With him being a Border collie, I was slightly worried that he may get bored and begin to chew the house! My Mum and Dad advised for me get a Kong. Having never heard of this before, I decided to do some research. I found out that a Kong is basically a dog toy made of hard rubber that you can fill with different treats; your dog then spends hours trying to dig the treats out from inside the Kong. THE KONG The Kong is meant to be nearly indestructible so is perfect for dogs that have a tendency to chew. Kongs come in all different shapes and sizes, you can ... more

    5 Stars KONG!!!! Review with images 25/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages entertaining, strong, high quality, fun, many benefits to dog and behaviour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can hurt if it lands on your foot!!!

    ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The KONG. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ After nearly two years of not having a dog we decided that we couldn't cope anymore without one and went on a hunt for a suitable puppy. We ended up with a 9 week old Labrador cross Border Collie pup who we named Bonnie. Once we brought her home we had several visits from friends and family, three of which (individually of each other) recommended that we got a KONG for Bonnie as they had found them brilliant. So the following day I went to our nearest big pets store and ended up spending £40 on dog toy!!! £5 of that was spent on a KONG ... more

    5 Stars King Kong Review with images 16/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Durable, hours of fun, easy to find, range of sizes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite heavy, expensive

    What do you humans know about what us dogs like to chew? My owner knows very little or I wouldn’t have chewed through the seat belts in his car or through the slippers he got last Christmas if he’d given something decent to play & chew with. He obviously doesn’t know that us dogs naturally chew & that we need something challenging to sink our teeth into on a regular basis. I don’t mean those awful squeaky latex toys that Trixie the toy poodle down the road has but real butch toys like a Kong. My owner tried those squeaky latex toys but because my teeth are so strong I destroyed them in minutes ... more

    4 Stars King Kong From Santa - Who needs plates? 06/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, Cleans Teeth, Makes Treats Last.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Doesn't bounce, but I'll buy a ball for that! Can lead to very excitable playfighting.

    I love MyDogs. He likes to jump on the bed and wake me up in the night, but lately with the heating on he has decamped to the spare room and lies stretched out on the bed there, full length and snoring. When I got up in the early hours, unable to sleep, I found him in there and leapt on the bed with a bounce as payback. Having a sweet nature, he licked my bare foot, wagged his tail and made room for me before he went back to sleep. What can you get someone who loves you this much for Christmas? I hunted high and low to find the perfect present. I'd looked on the internet for tips and hints and ... more

    4 Stars Beware the Kong sized Bruises ; ) Review with images 23/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very durable, entertaining, worth the money.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not too hard to get the treats out and it hurts when your dog throws it at your head!!!

    I bought this toy in the local feed shop as a part of my German Shepherd's Christmas box last year. Yes I am one of those people who buys her dog Christmas and Birthday presents. She even gets to unwrap them herself....because she likes shredding the paper and finding the stuff inside!!! I chose this particular toy as I was looking for something that she wouldn't shred to bits in two seconds flat. Also, Beemer gets bored easily so I was looking for something that needs a bit of thinking to play with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Kong ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Kong was invented by a bloke called Joe Markham. He ... more

    Biba our gorgeous Staffordshire Bull Terrier was 1 year old last month, and Staffies as they are affectionately called are well known for their powerfull jaws, so when looking for chew toy's I needed something that was strong enough to last but would keep her attention as well and it was while reading about the Staffordshire Bull Terrier breed on the internet that I found out about ''Kong The Worlds Best Dog Toy'' The Kong I wil be reviewing is the Classic Kong ( Red ) which is cone shaped and hollow and has a small hole at the top and a larger hole at the bottom.

    5 Stars Get Stuffed, Kongy 01/11/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A virtually indestructible toy to keep boredom at bay.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Unless the food given is strictly controlled it can lead to weight gain.

    Our dogs have not always been paragons of virtue. In fact, they have both, in their time, been known as “the hound from hell”. They’re Rhodesian Ridgebacks, which, if you don’t know them are a large dog originally bred to hunt lions in South Africa, a skill which is absolutely essential in the Yorkshire Dales. Rosie is four years old, but at the peak of her Hell-Hound phase she ate three alarm clocks, hundreds of curtain hooks and metres of telephone cabling. Kia is just twenty months old and is still in the Hell-Hound year. Currently she’s into resuscitating people, but if I’m walking about I ... more
