A Kong for Every Dog! Today- Kong Extreme

Image
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 ...

A Kong for Every Dog! Today--Kong Senior.

Image
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...

Don't forget to pack the Kong.

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...

Christmas Gifts for Dogs and Pet Parents

Image
Do you give your furry best friend a Christmas gift? If so, you're in good company. Surveys report that as many as 95% of pet parents buy their dog a gift for the holidays. My grandfather used to wrap dog biscuits and put them in the branches of the Christmas tree for his black lab, Duke. To this day I don't know how Duke didn't knock the whole tree over to get to them, but waited patiently as they were offered throughout the days surrounding Christmas. We always get Kelly and Ike a toy. You might wonder why they would need a new toy when they already have this basket full of toys?  I don't know! But they love a new toy and the smell, feel and stimulation of something new and different to play with. Kong Jumbler When Chewy.com sent us this toy to review, it was a new one for my dogs. But I learned that it's already been my granddog Zeke's favorite. Be aware that strong chewers like Zeke may get through the softer exterior in order to get to the tennis ball insi...
