Tough Dog Toys

Tough dog toys are something many dog owners are looking for to keep their pet happy for longer, as dog toys that last are always welcome in my home! My last post Kong Dog Treat Dispensers, looked at those cleverly designed devices for giving your dog a treat while he plays with the dog toy. Now we'll look more broadly at the reasons for giving your dog what can best be described as tough dog toys.

Tough dog toys come in all shapes and sizes and from a number of different manufacturers, but as you can see from the obvious theme of this blog, I'll be taking a closer look at those tough rubber dog toys made by the King Dog Toys company in particular.

Within the Kong Dog Toy range, there are many differently shapes and sized rubber dog toys that are very, very tough indeed and will take a dog with a lot of determination and strong teeth and jaws to get the better of. There are the classic Kong toy shaped as in the small image at the top of this page, that comes in red and is hollow and act like a dog treat dispenser for you to insert some nice dog treats. That's so that when your dog eventually catches the toy after you've thrown it, which will bounce all over the place, he will have something nice to keep him occupied for a while. There are also other different Kong toy shapes such as Kong dog bone shapes, dog dental sticks, dog balls etc. There is also a range of Kong puppy toy shapes that are perfect for chewing puppies to get their needle like teeth into!

Tough dog toys don't just come in the rubber dog toys variety either. You can also get some extremely tough dog toys that come in the shape of a rope dog toy, which is great for playing tug-of-war with your dog. He'll be able to pull and tug as much as he can but it'll be a long time before he manages to break it, if ever.

Tough Plush Dog Toys?

There are also a range of plush dog toys from Kong which are, for their type, extremely durable whilst being soft and fun to play with. Tough, plush dog toys that last are a great addition to your dog's toy basket and add variety and interest to your dog's playing times keeping him happy and contented for as long as you allow. With the Kong plush dog toys, they are double stitched for extra durability and come in a number of great shapes and designs, such as the soft bone, chicken, dinosaur as well as some nice tennis toys for dogs etc.

Of course, even the mighty Kong plush dog toys are not indestructible dog toys and to a determined dog they will eventually fall prey to his teeth, but they'll outlast the cheap versions by a very long margin. Cheap plush dog toys are something of a false economy as they are usually destroyed by your dog in a matter of minutes. However the Kong toys will last infinitely longer, making them a better choice in the long run.

Whichever tough dog toys you go for, bear in mind the well respected and highly recommended Kong dog toys for your dog, from their rubber dog toys through to the soft, plush dog toys. They'll all be appreciated by your dog, who is the one that'll be playing with them after all!

Kong Dog Treat Dispenser

If you want to take a closer look at the Kong dog treat dispenser products that are available from the Kong Dog Toy company, this review will help you to learn more about what they are and how you can enjoy some great fun with your dog with them.

This is a follow up on my previous post Kong Rubber Toys for Dogs, where I outlined all of the Kong rubber dog toys. I'll get a bit more specific in this post.

First of all, what is meant by a Kong dog treat dispenser?

Well, it is a device that you can put in some special doggie treats that will dispense the tasty morsels to your dog while he plays with it. This makes them especially useful for people who have to leave their dog at home on a regular basis, like for instance when you go to work.

It's a great idea as the dog is likely sitting around at home bored out of his skull just waiting for his beloved owner to return to the den. This gives him something to occupy himself with and while away the otherwise dead time spent alone.

Well, the range of "Planet Kong" doggie reward dispensing toys helps to break up that monotony a little by dispensing a tasty morsel of his favorite snack every so often while he chews away at the toy. It will keep your dog interested and alert as well as keeping him away from chewing more valuable items in your home!

There is one of the products called Stuff-a-Ball, which is an expandable ball that the dog can play with but that can also be stuffed with either edible dog chews, or the dental sticks that are so good for keeping his teeth clean.

There is also the Biscuit Ball, which is another great treatie dispensing toy with four posts for stuffing with doggy bones, dog biscuits or other tempting doggy chewables that the dog can munch away at rather than at your furniture!

Another clever product is the Goody Ship and Mini Goodie Ship, which are frisbee shaped toys that can be stuffed with dog biscuits or bones and played with your dog just like playing frisbees in the park. Except there is a nice surprise inside for your dog once he catches it!

There are also Goodie Balls and Goodie Bones that are, not surprisingly, ball and bone shaped rubber toys specially made for stuffing with chewie things that your dog is guaranteed to fall in love with!

New to the range is the Jump'n Jack, an ultra bouncy Kong toy in the same natural rubber as the other toys in the range. This toy is great fun as its "jack" shape means it has an unpredictable bounce that dogs love to chase plus the benefit of the food dispensing hollow that can be filled with your dog's favorite edible things.

Also in the Planet Kong range is an Xtreme Planet Kong set of products in many of the favourite shapes and toys just mentioned but in the Xtreme Kong material. This is super resilient rubber for larger dogs who have a mind to try to destroy anything they're given.

These are even more robust than the standard Kong dispensing products. So they are a good choice for owners of particularly destructive little darlings!

What dog wouldn't love to be playing with one of those right now?
