My pup dog, Bear, and I absolutely love the kong brand of dog toys and fun! Whenever we get him something that isn't Kong brand we can time how long it lasts and it's barely five minutes. Kong is much more up to the challenge. This brand has the best durability for dog toys with rough or committed play. Our dog is a 90 to 100 pound Catahoula leopard dog and he plays hard, fast, and constantly! The konh toys always seem to stand up to his consistent and rough play and he struggles to find the weak point where he can rip it apart. The kongs that can be stuffed with treats are even better! We will fill bear's with peanut butter and various dog treats and it keeps him busy for 20-30 minutes. We used the extra small one when he was a pup and still mix it in on occasion ... MoreMy pup dog, Bear, and I absolutely love the kong brand of dog toys and fun!

Durable and momentary distraction

This toy had been highly recommended from both the vet and multiple trainers, so decided to give it a try. My 4 month old teething Shepherd/CD mix puppy loves his Kong was able to figure out how it worked after 2 days, fortunately there are many recipes to look up and to make it more challenging and fun. I have cleaned it by hand and through the top rack of the dishwasher and it's holding up well. I went to buy in-store to make sure I could get a blue Kong since dogs are suppose to see the color well.

Great toy but could just buy the regular kong or extreme

The puppy version is the same size as the medium regular Kong. It is softer than the extreme but is showing signs of wear after a week of use. It isn\'t destroyed by any means (by my pup) but has teeth indentations where there has been more chewing to get her treats out. I would just buy the regular red Kong or even the medium Kong extreme (which I did after) and they should still be able to get treats out or chew. Works great at keeping her entertained for a while when in her crate. Easy enough to clean and like others say it is awesome when prepacked and frozen so that the peanut butter or whatever stuffing in the hole (bananas or pumpkin puree make a great seal too, or any steamed and mashed veg) take a little longer to break through. Once her Kong comes out of ... MoreThe puppy version is the same size as the medium regular Kong. It is softer than the extreme but is showing signs of wear after a week of use.

Great toy for a dog that chews up everything!

This is very very small, but so is my dog. But she absolutely loves it. She has chewed up every toy I ever got her, but not this. I would recommend these Kongs to anyone with a chewing dog. Like I said this is very tiny, I would say it would be great for a very small puppy or maybe a 2 to 6 pound dog. I later bought her a medium size one and it is exactly a great size for her…she weighs 13 pounds.

KONG - Classic for Puppy Small

Kong are the very best maker of these puppy/dog chewy toys. Soft enough for a young puppy but equally strong too. They add something to the rubber to make it visible on XRay if in the unlikely event a pet eats one or part of one. It's an important consideration as is the excellent quality and dependability of all Kong toys equipment and accessories. I've had Kongs that have lasted for years and survived very determined Terriers too. They wash well and can be kept hygienically clean and safe for your puppy. None better😁

My go-to distraction for my doggy!

Well, I ordered this online once I couldn’t find my dogs to other Kong‘s in the house. They come to the rescue any time I have to leave him for a couple hours and I feel guilty! He is obsessed with licking the Kong peanut butter out, and then we can play fetch with it when I’m home! He had the smaller version, and this one I still bought the puppy version (even though he’s 4 now) cause he’s a chihuahua! Actually should’ve made sure I ordered XS! But highly recommend.

Puppies

Great if you had a “small breed dog”. If you have a mid size to large- this toy is way to small. I would be afraid they would put the whole toy inside their mouth. I must say- Kongs are my favorite as you can put treats inside and they go 15-30 mins trying to get their treat!

Puppy KONG Rubber Dog Toy

By far this has become my pups 2nd favorite toy (her first, as she seems to be taking after her sister who passed away before Paisley even came home, is her Lamb Chop). Within seconds of me opening this from the packaging, she was playing with it WITHOUT anything in it ... it is a perfect softness (yet strong enough) to soothe her teething. Then I rubbed some all natural peanut butter in it and LOOK OUT ... the minute I grab the toy, she's whimpering with excitement and then spends a good hour concentrating on getting the peanut butter out, loving every minute of it. This would really be beneficial for dogs with separation anxiety or rowdy puppies that you need to calm down if you're in the middle of something. And even greater for teething pups who will latch onto ... MoreBy far this has become my pups 2nd favorite toy (her first, as she seems to be taking after her sister who passed away before Paisley even came home, is her Lamb Chop).

And even greater for teething pups who will latch onto anything (even what they're not supposed to) because it keeps their focus for a long, long time! (Peanut Butter frozen in it lasted even longer and she loves it that way, too!)

The only toy that is still surviving

My “puppy” is a 10lb chihuahua yorkie mix … who I consider to be the destructor of all toys. Seriously. He has tried the strongest toys from every single brand, made for destructive chewing and proven to last. Yet, nothing lasted more than 2 hours. Except KONG toys, in particular, this PUPPY version. He’s had this from day one and plays with it at least once a day, and it’ll be his first birthday soon. It’s the only toy he’ll always go back to, and the only toy that he can’t destroy. 15/10 would recommend.

Worth it!

I bought this for my 6 month old toy poodle and while it took a few days to get used to it, she absolutely loves her kongs now. I initially got the Kong classic medium, but it was too big for her. These puppy kongs are the perfect size and she spends 30-45 mins getting all the delicious things out of it. Keeps her entertained and engaged. I've started putting her meals in it. Highly recommend.
