The Original Kong

As long time dog trainers and owners we consider this our favorite toy! Do you know how the Kong concept evolved? The Kong's founder's dog, a German Shepherd, slid under the family Volkswagen and emerged with a hard rubber gasket from the car's underbody. Thus, the first Kong. After many modifications the "jawrobic" and long lasting toy emerged. The Kong has many applications. It is a therapeutic toy designed for robust chewers. Stuffed with treats, behaviorists use it to help dogs suffering from chronic boredom or teething pain. Even many of the large birds such as Macaws find it an appealing addition to their cage. This durable and long lasting toy is truly a bargain. Recommended for aggressive chewers.
