KONG Extreme Dog Toy Ideal for Power Chewers

For my 8 mo old Airedale Terrier that is a chewer this is holding up.

This black Kong is the standard bearer by which all other "tough" chew toys are judged. Both my dogs can and will, eventually destroy anything else, including all other Kong brand toys but they can't put a dent in this one. The red version did last about 3 months but eventually started getting stress cracks and I replaced it 6-8 months ago with this. We recently got a second dog and added another Extreme Kong and now you can't tell the new one from the one Woody's been working on for over half a year.

This is the first time we ever used Kong and I have to admit that I was skeptical about it. However, our teething puppy (lab/husky) happily embraced it, and is spending hours (sometimes) working on it. I put different mix of foods in it, with some PB and he loves it. I often freeze it, to calm him teeth.

I have a 60lb Pit mix that has been able to chew through every toy I have tried (including the Kong Goodie Bone). The Kong Extreme withstands everything she gives it. She chews it constantly and can't tear it apart. Thanks Kong.

My boyfriend's lab is a crazy powerful chewer! (He destroys golf balls like they're nothing.) I got him this Kong for Christmas, and he LOVES it! And best of all, he hasn't destroyed it! I also got him the XXL (because I didn't know which size would be better), but I think this size is probably the better of the two. By the way, I bought this Kong for $10.79 - they are about $20+ in stores. Great product and a great deal!

I have 3 extreme power chewers (2 boxers and a lab/border cross). The extreme kongs are awesome! I have several of the large size (only because the smaller boxer can't get her jaws around the x-large) and they have held up just fine, though I inspect them every time they are used. We also have the kong tails (red) and wubbas which are great too, but the wubbas are fairly easily mutilated as they don't have an actual Kong inside the heavy fabric covering. I can see how some may have chewed the smallest end off, but sizing up (as KONG recommends) should alleviate this problem.

This is one of the few chew toys that my Brittany Spaniel cannot destroy as he is an aggressive chewer - highly recommend it for aggressive chewers.

I would give my labs marrow bones from the deli fairly regularly when I wanted to keep them occupied while I worked in the yard. My older lab broke a fourth upper premolar and a front tooth to the tune of over $700 and we are pretty sure it is from those marrow bones. Our vet recommended Kong toys but my furry kids have had them, done that. However, I had only done peanut butter or dog treats because I didn't know the extent of their usefulness. My vet gave me recipes and ideas about layering goodies to keep them super busy, including freezing them and putting them in their doggy pool or hiding them. I have trouble with my puppy barking at dogs walking by and I tried the first recipe tonight and he just looked at the other dog. An absolute first! Both of my dogs were content for quite some time with the layering of goodies, and it makes them work rather than breaking precious teeth. I am ordering several more Kong toys because they are super sturdy and I had no idea how much you can use them to keep them busy and happy!

I love this chew toy, and the treats stuck inside motivate my dad's tough chewing dog to keep chewing on it instead of other things she finds around my dad's messy house.

I wasn't too sure whether to get the black one for it being a power chewer, but at least I know our dog won't tear this one up. She really likes it and we'll put a treat in it and she's so funny to watch as she tries to figure out how to get it out. She'll sit and gnaw on it for hours. Great toy for that price!
