The KONG Puppy Kong is made with our exclusive KONG Teething Rubber Formula. Veterinarians and trainers recommend stuffing the Puppy Kong with Kong Treats or Ziggies to aid in crate training and decrease separation anxiety, promote proper chewing behavior and deter misbehaviors.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

My puppy LOVES his puppy Kong. Be warned though you will need to watch these types of Kong as your dog gets older to make sure their jaws aren't strong enough to chew them apart. They are made to be a bit "softer" so that puppies have an easier time to chew on it. This keeps my puppr busy for some time when I am gone at work AND he loves playing with the kong when it is empty now.
Note: Most puppies will not automatically start chewing on a Kong. you have to use things to make him want to chew on it. Some people use the "easy cheese" Kong spray can. It works for some dogs, doesn't work for others. Some people use peanut butter with kibble. This can do the trick but remember peanut butter is fattening and not really nutrious for your puppy. I, personally, will use part of my puppies kibble (sometimes other treats)and then canned wet food for dogs. I mix it and then put it in the freezer overnight. He loves it and it keeps him busy a lot longer than smearing wet food or peanutbutter in it.

The Kong toy is great. Not only is it a teething toy, but the rolling action of the toy keeps our puppy busy chasing it. It's sturdy and tough enough to handle a teething malamute!

Maybe my puppy is just lazy. Got the puppy kong for my 8 wk old puppy and thought that he would love it. Nope, if he cannot get the treat out in under 30 seconds, he loses interest. I have smeared peanut butter on the inside and put some of his kibbles in there. Because the kibbles are stuck to the peanut butter, it doesn't really come out. Instead of chewing and working for the food, he just gives up. If there is no treats in there, he doesn't even play with it. I also think that I underestimated how big he was growing. The puppy size kong doesn't really fit a whole lot of kibbles and also I think his mouth is too big to really get in the kong to get the food out. I've contemplated on getting a classic kong but because of the experience, I do not know whether I really want to spend money on something he may still not care for. So sorry, kong didn't work for my dog.

I bought this thing because my bigger dog tore off the top on the smaller one I bought a couple of months ago. This one she is unable to and now both dogs can enjoy the spray stuffing I put in them. Keeps your dogs busy on rainy days.

Had this for our Golden Retriever Puppy. He spent hours (over his months of growing), chewing on it. We never used any of the products that were sold to place inside of it. Like the previous reviewer, we chose to use our own "treats". His favorite was natural peanut butter - it was never messy from what I remember (as he spent plenty of time in the house with it). I'm pretty certain he eventually buried it in the yard when he decided he was a "big boy"; he likes to bury things & I haven't seen it in several years! It was also one of the only toy things he could never destroy. We have NEVER had any problems with him chewing on anything of ours either, which is nice! He still has adult Kong items now & another brand (& tennis balls, although he pops those like childs-play!). Baby Kong filled with some natural PB was great for us when we had people over and needed to keep him occupied :)
