The KONG Puppy is the softest toy in the KONG rubber line, made for baby teeth and sore teething gums. It has the same hollow snowman shape as the KONG Classic, so you can stuff it, toss it or just let your puppy chew. This pick is the Medium size.
Who it suits
Teething puppies of about 15 to 35 lbs. KONG says it is not recommended for puppies over 9 months, so plan to move up to a KONG Classic once your dog’s adult teeth are in.
