This Kong chew toy is false advertising I bought one for my dog by the way she is a small dog, I got the medium chew toy for her put her peanut butter and treats in it and she broke through it. It says you can not puncture this chew toy in any way well she found a way to do it. Maybe she is a little mischevious but I still say false advertising. Heres the link so you know what I am talking about. http://www.petexpertise.com/item--Kong-Chew-Toy--kong.html
BTW I have pictures to prove it if anybody cares
Wow, that is a mighty strong little dog you have.
A buddy of mine had an extremely large, muscular brown labrador with enormous jaw-muscles and it took him over a year to even damage the thing.
Looks like your dog ate most of your punctuation, too.
Your link says the Kong is “puncture resistant,” Where do you get this claim that “you can not puncture this chew toy in any way”?
I’d keep a WIDE berth around that dog 
I have two shepherds who have never even come close to puncturing or damaging their Kong.

Have you tried the supposed to be even tougher black Kongs?
I can’t imagine a dog getting through one of the red ones, but the black ones are even harder. Might be worth a shot. There must be a reason they sell them, after all.
Was it from a brick and morter store. Just take it back, pick up the next one up or get one of the toys made of old tires.
I’d venture that part of the problem is the size of the toy. My dog is a very aggressive chewer and I’ve found that the key to whether or not a toy is destroyed is the availability of edges. On a Kong too-large for her, she can get a better grip on the edges of the central hole. When she has a toy her size or smaller, the hole is too small, so she chews on it as a whole. These toys are much more resistant to that kind of chewing.
Yeah, the black ones work better for motivated chewers. I have two Black Lab mixes, and the black Kongs last maybe 3 months between them. The other colors get destroyed in a week or less.
What the hell are “Food Nugets”? I hope it’s kibble…
I have a black one and a red one that my dogs have chewed on for two years now. The red one is just now starting to show a little bit of wear, and the black one looks almost as good as it did the day I bought it.
My dogs love both of them. I put a few teaspoons of all natural peanut butter in them, and the dogs stay entertained for at least half an hour.
By the way, I have a beagle and a lab, and neither one has been able to destroy the kongs, while they have destroyed every other toy I have given them in the last two years.
I got my pit bull in October. He has the biggest head for a dog his size that anyone I know has ever seen, and he can completely devour a giant rawhide bone in less than an hour. It’s like beef jerky to him.
I got him three big red Kongs and he chewed on them every day. After about four months all three were punctured.
I was going to go get the black one to see how long that would last, but I have found that chew hooves are much cheaper and they last a lot longer. Plus they don’t result in a delightful mixture of dog slobber and peanut butter being spread all over the house.
Kong toys are usually incredibly durable. THey do come in varying degrees of toughness – from puppy Kongs to the red ones, to the black ones, to the dark blue ones for extra-powerful chewers. The black ones are the extra-tough ones, and the dark blue are usually only available through vets and certainly the most resistant bastards out there.
That said, I currently have one aussie who can puncture the toughest Kongs made. I’ve never had a dog like that before. Even my other power-chewers who destroyed chewtoys never managed to destroy Kongs in the way that Pirate does. Go figure.
You should try giving Cujo some real, raw cow femurs to chew on, especially the knuckle bone (make sure it’s RAW. Not smoked, etc.)… and let it go to town. Entertainment for hours for the powerful chewer.
My pit bull mix managed to get through a red Kong in one night. I never bought another.
Now Nylabones will take her a while to work on and I still have a few of these that date back years and years when I had other dogs that have since gone to doggie heaven from old age. Most rubber toys only last a few minutes and stuffed toys must be made of thick rope or have tennis balls inside, otherwise she chews a small hole and then pulls out all the stuffing. Although she may have broke that habit because she hasn’t disemboweled the little stuffed pig I got her for Christmas, it only cost a couple dollars and I figured since it was Christmas she could get her jollies maiming her toy, but so far it’s intact.
For a pit/lab/other big chewers you need the black ones. That’s what they’re there for! My lab has had his for over 6 months, its a little worse for the wear but nowhere near destroyed. Not only that, but it doesn’t feel like stepping on an inside-out pincushion in the middle of the night like Nylabones do.
i have a pit bulll and he has had his black kong for over a year and has taken chinks out of it but not destroyed it. He can hold the large end chomped for about 15 seconds.
FWIW if you freeze the kong with the peanut butter in it, it lasts much longer and you don’t get the mess. My pooch loves it. That said, he won’t play with the kong unless there’s food in it. Spoiled much?
Is this supposed to be a sort of Pinata for dogs or something? If they chew through the thing to get to the goodies well more power to them I say, whether it takes a day or a year.
Penny gets one with peanut butter in the morning to keep her occupied and quiet. They aren’t intended to destroy it, just lick, bite, beat on it, whatever to get out the goodies.
I get the mess no matter what. I started out by freezing it but found it actually lasts longer if it’s not frozen.
He was only ever interested in them when stuffed with food. He would delicately lick at the hole until he couldn’t reach any farther, then toss it around the room to dislodge the remaining filling (adding kibble crumbs to the slobber/PB mix). Yum!
One warning about bones and knuckles and so forth: my dog loves them (and they do last forever) but they make him fart something fierce (which is gross but tolerable if absolutely necessary) and throw up a lot (even grosser and much harder to live with). So he doesn’t get them any more.
The safety-cut hooves are the best thing ever, they last forever and the only mess they make is a vague smell of livestock.
The other thing he seems to like is the rope bone, he goes through phases of loving it and ignoring it but I think it will always have a place in his heart. That and stuffed animals are the only synthetic things he’s interested in.
I find it kinda gross because you can never get the thing clean once it has had peanut butter in it. And my dog isn’t at all interested in it after she gets the majority of the peanut butter out of it. Then in sits in the yard or crate for a day or two and, well, eww. I prefer rawhide and other bone type things for her to chew on. The Kong is overrated.
