Kong Classic

The KONG Classic has earned its reputation the hard way: over 40 years on the market and it's still the toy vets and trainers point to first. It's made from KONG's natural red rubber, which holds up to normal chewing while flexing enough that it won't damage teeth, and the hollow center turns a boring afternoon into a job for your dog to work at.

We recommend it because it does three things well without any gimmicks: it gives dogs an outlet for chewing that isn't your furniture, it keeps them occupied when you're not home, and it holds up to repeated use. Stuff it with kibble, peanut butter, yogurt, or dog-safe fruit, and it becomes a slow-feeder and a fetch toy in one.
