Amazon.com Review

Everybody loves puppies-until they chew up your shoes. It's not completely their fault: the little scamps are driven to ease sore gums and try out developing teeth. Made from a special rubber formulation that's more flexible than regular Kongs, these puppy toys make an excellent substitute for your favorite pair of Manolos, soothing teething pains and encouraging healthy mouth and jaw development. They also help puppies learn the appropriate way to channel chewing urges--an investment that will pay off over the entire lifetime of the dog. Just like big-dog Kongs, these beehive-shaped puppy chews have a goofy, unpredictable bounce for hours of chasing and fetching fun, and the hollow construction is ideal for stuffing with treats to keep puppies busy and happy while their owners are away. For a cool (though messy) treat to soothe painful gums, seal one end with peanut butter, fill with water or broth, and freeze.

This toy is appropriate for small breeds like Yorkies, toy poodles, and Chihuahuas. Puppy Kongs shouldn't be used until a puppy is weaned; when his adult teeth come in at around 6 to 9 months, size up to a red or black adult Kong suitable for your dog's size and chewing habits. Regularly inspect the 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Chew Toy!, November 23, 2006

This review is from: Kong Small Puppy Toy (Misc.)

We recently adopted 3 wonderful, adorable pups - 2 of whom are still in their "chewing stage". Based on the recommendation of friends, we decided to give the "Kong" a try - and it's awesome!

"Kongs" are made to be extremely strong, so they don't fall apart when the little ones chew on them for hours (or even when our big guy decides to have a little chewing action on it himself). We've found that our dogs love them as is, but they REALLY get into it when we insert a treat or some of the "Kong" vitamin-enriched tasty paste into the open cavity. They'll spend lots of time and energy attempting to get the treat out (which is unlikely) &/or enjoying the "tasty paste".

Overall, we found this to be a great toy for our "little ones" - it provides them with something that they're allowed to chew & that I as a "puppy parent" don't have to worry about falling apart due to long bouts of gnawing. Our dogs give the "Kong" a "2 paws up"!!!

This review is from: Kong Small Puppy Toy (Misc.)

I have purchased this toy for two puppies in the past three years. It is excellent to use with crate training. I put the treats in only when they are to go into their crate and they are happy to be in there. It has been the favorite toy for both my Yorkie and my new puppy, a Cairn Terrier. They love time in the crate with this and will grab it out of their crate to play with it around the house.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kongs are overrated, says puppy..., November 26, 2006

This review is from: Kong Medium Puppy Toy (Misc.)

Frankly I don't understand the hype about these toys. I get that they're practically indestructible & you can put stuff inside them. But my puppy has shown no interest in this thing at all even though he loves chewing on practically everything. We tried putting stuff inside, and he successfully licked it out in about 5 minutes, but no chewing occurred. This & the nylabone seem like things humans want their dogs to like more than things dogs actually DO like. oh well.

FYI: this puppy version is significantly softer than the adult version so probably better to stick with this for a puppy. (still seems pretty indestructible)
