Monday we reviewed the Kong Senior and how it held up to our 10-year-old Ernest's chewing. Today we'll take a look at the Kong Extreme...and see if it can compete with Petey's powerful puppy teeth. We have always loved Kongs because they keep our dogs happy, busy and help alleviate boredom when they have to be home alone. Now I've discovered that there's a different Kong for every stage and need. Classic     Puppy     Extreme     Senior As a Chewy Influencer, I got the opportunity to test and review one Kong for each dog, to see how that particular Kong worked out for them. Monday we shared our experience with the Kong Senior for Ernest, age 10. Today we'll take a look at powerhouse 1-year-old Petey and the Kong Extreme . Petey loves to chew, and destroys most toys within minutes. I knew he'd need something super durable to withstand his razor sharp teeth and aggressive chewing. Was the Kong Extreme the answer? I stuffed the Kong ...

We've had dogs of all ages--seniors, puppies and in between--and our go-to toy has always been the Kong. It keeps them busy and helps alleviate boredom when they have to be home alone. Now I've discovered that there's a different Kong for every stage and need! Classic     Puppy     Extreme     Senior As a Chewy Influencer, I got the opportunity to test and review one Kong for each dog, to see how that particular Kong worked out for them. Ernest is 10, and pretty mellow. He's facing a lot of challenges of older dogs. So we chose the senior Kong for him. At one year old Petey is still basically a puppy, but he is rough on his toys and chews everything in sight, so we chose the Extreme Kong for him. Today we'll take a look at Ernest and the Kong Senior.  Ernest may be a senior, but he can chew his toys with gusto. I was a little worried that the senior version, made with a rubber formula that is gentler to again teeth and joints, wo...

Let's see, Petey's at the door. What has he come home with?   Seresto...seresto....seresto... Petey! Not the garden! Seresto...seresto...seresto    Oh, Petey! Yup, Petey's digging up flowers and bringing home who-knows-what again! Whatever Petey brings home with him, though, it shouldn't be fleas and ticks, right? So we tried out this Seresto collar from Chewy.com. All we had to do was put it on once, and it provides eight months of flea and tick protection. That's great, because we were always forgetting to apply our dog's topical treatment every month. If we missed just once, that's all it took to get those pesky bugs biting. We love that we can put this collar on the dogs and know they'll be protected month after month. My dogs have had Lyme disease before and I haven't found alternate methods of tick control that have worked for me. Seresto is a good choice for those who opt to use a chemical treatment because the ingredients are released slo...

We review a lot of dog toys here, and occasionally a cat toy or two. But this BIRD TOY from Chewy.com was so adorable, we couldn't resist giving it a look. We don't have a bird to try this out at the moment, but based on our research about what birds like, the Super Bird Creations Foraging Bir d toy is bright, interesting and definitely looks fun for birds! Look at all those colors. Unlike dogs, birds see colors well. And the different shapes and textures and challenging and stimulating for birds. The wicker basket is filled with a beak-tastic variety of popsicle sticks, ice cream spoons, mini loofahs and more. Birds like to pluck, rip, tear, and chew these things apart. You can also hide treat inside to encourage foraging behavior and eliminate boredom. The Super Bird Creations toy: chewable challenging bird-safe  This looks like a wonderful toy to help keep your pet bird mentally stimulated and having fun. What do you think? Does this look like a fun bird toy? If you have a ...

A Dialogue in Which Ernest and Petey receive a Delivery Scene: The doorbell rings. A package arrives from Chewy.com .  Since we're Chewy Influencers, Ernest and Petey know there is something exciting and usually delicious inside that box. They proceed to jump and dig their toenails into my bare feet as I open the box.  Ernest: What is this green thing Chewy mailed us? It doesn't smell like food. Petey: Nope. I licked it. Yuck. Ernest: Mom's unzipping it. It looks like a carrier of some sort. But I'll never fit in there. Why don't you try it, Petey? You're younger and smaller. Petey: I'm not going to try it, it's not even big enough for that cat next door. You're always trying to get me in trouble. I'm telling Mom. Ernest: Never mind. So it appears that this is the Kaytee Come Along Pet Carrier . It comes in three sizes: one is small enough for rats. The medium is for a guinea pig. And what's in this large one here? Look at the way the doo...

We love summer vacations and getaways....especially when we can bring along our goldens, Ernest and Petey. After many trips where we've developed a list of items to help us all have a successful trip. Along with extra long leads, collapsible travel bowls, and their own comfy beds, one thing we always remember to pack is some toys, including a Kong. Ernest with the new loot. He doesn't look that into posing today. Recently we all went on a weekend trip to visit family. As a #ChewyInfluencer, I was lucky enough to be provided with one Kong and one tube of Kong Easy Treat to review. We brought that, along with another Kong, on our trip. Petey and Ernest loved playing with the Kongs while we were busy visiting, and when we we went out and left them in a strange new room. It gave them something fun to do while we were out. Petey always has a smile for the camera. Especially when there are treats involved. Here are some ways a Kong can help you and your dog when you travel: 1. In t...

We have so much fun as #ChewyInfluencer, and this time we got to review a really great toy! Petey had so much fun with this. If you're looking for a toy for your dog that is a lot of fun and keeps him moving and active this is it! The Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-lot ! Think Weeble that spits out treats. If your dog is food motivated, or just enjoys a puzzle, he's going to love this toy. Just unscrew the top, fill with treats, open the little door at the bottom and go! We tested this toy with Pete. He bopped it all over with his nose and paw. Loved it and got every bit of kibble out and had a bob-a-lot of fun!   It's great for slow feeding and reducing boredom. You can even customize the difficulty level. This toy is sturdy too. Pete has carried it around in his mouth, batted at it, dropped it and chewed on it and it holds up! Next we let Ernest have a turn. Oh well, some dogs just don't know how to have fun. Check out the Bob-a-lot on Chewy.com . They'll ship it...
