KONG Classic Dog Toy, Large

The KONG Classic is a hollow, snowman-shaped toy made of natural rubber. You can stuff it with kibble or treats, toss it for fetch or just let your dog chew. This pick is the Large size.

Who it suits

Dogs of about 30 to 65 lbs who chew at an average level and enjoy working for food. It is a handy way to keep a dog busy in a crate or while you are out of the room, as long as someone keeps an eye on things.

Key facts

• Natural rubber, built for average chewers (KONG)

What reviewers say

PureWow picked it as the best overall chew toy, citing the natural rubber, the many sizes and the treat-stuffing design. A trainer they spoke with said it is gentle enough on teeth while still holding up to steady chewing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Chew toy, fetch toy and food puzzle in one
• Pro: Six sizes to match your dog
• Pro: Dishwasher safe on the top rack
• Con: Made for average chewers, so power chewers may need a bigger size or the KONG Extreme
• Con: Stuffed food means regular cleaning of the inside

Cautions

• Use under supervision, remove all packaging and stop using it if it is damaged, as KONG advises.
• Choose a size your dog cannot fit fully in its mouth.
