They clean up just fine in a dishwasher, I’ve found.
And by “small dog” in the OP - an AmStaff is a “small dog”, but I wouldn’t bet against them eating a Kong!
I will have to try the black ones, I wasn’t aware they came in different colors
Local sources say that sharp-teethed dogs, such as dachshunds and poodles can polish off a kong in a day or two.
My Welsh Terrierist learned how to crush a Meaty Bone inside a medium red Kong, but he never tore it up. He had blunt teeth in powerful jaws.
Jake, Standard Poodle Supreme, loves, loves, loves, his black Kong even though I never put anything in it. He just likes to chew, lick, bat, and generally whomp the hooey out of the thing. He’ll worry himself into a lather if I put a little biscuit inside the thing, but he’s just as entertained without.
I’ve had him nearly 10 months and he hasn’t so much as scratched it after all the wear and tear he gives it.
“Motivated chewers” - I like that phrase. My girl will go through a red kong in a day and a black one in a week. But then she ate a wooden chair once, so the kong thing wasn’t that big a surprise.
I’ll have to look into the blue ones. And maybe not put any food in them, just to cut down on the “motivation”.
Penny sucks the goodie out and ignores it afterwards, like she ignores little fuzzy animals after she rips out their eyes. Mrs. Plant’s Shelties love to pick it up and drop it. Again, and again. KA-THUMP…KA-THUMP…KA-THUMP…I believe I may have mentioned this before, right before they put me in the straight jacket and I couldn’t type anymore. KA-THUMP…KA-THUMP…KA-THUMP…
sorry. I’m fine now.
Does anyone else have any ideas on what to give a puppy to chew on, she will only chew on the Kong if something is inside of it and it doesn’t matter she still punctures or bites the top off of it. She is total hell on wheels, she will not leave me alone. She barks and barks and barks if she doesn’t have something to do. She is a total pest, I throw her pop bottles, old mail anything to get her off my case. If I throw her a ball she purposely gets it into a spot where she can’t get it and barks at me to get it for her. She is the most mischevious little shit I have ever owned. I bought her a rawhide ham bone to chew on which kept her quite occupied all night last night but to mammas suprise it did not agree with her, cleaning up shit isn’t exactly what I like to do in the morning. I need something that will last her and keep her busy, I have tried greenies, she chokes, I have tried some rawhides and pigs ears, but she thinks she can swallow them almost whole. Help! By the way if I didn’t mention it before she is a Westhighland terrier (terror in my words
thanks if anyone can help
Not sure what you are asking here about puncture resistent link, I have no clue about puctuation so if you could please explain!!!
Ah, yes. The Kong Toy Stomp.
KA-THUMP, KA-THUMP, KA-THUMP THUMP THUMP.
That’s usually when I so “ENOUGH!” and pick the damn thing up and throw it out into the yard. Of course, next time he goes out he just brings it back in and we start the dance all over again.
