We have started stocking the wonderful KONG products and I wanted to provide details on this fantastic anti boredom product.

These details are taken from the KONG website directly to help with choosing the right KONG.

KONG RUBBER COLORS & STRENGTHS

Did you know that the color of a rubber KONG toy signals its durability & the life stage or chewing style it’s best suited for? Let’s break it down.

PINK & BLUE

KONG Puppy, made from pink & blue rubber, is designed to be soft & durable for puppies 9-months-old & younger, as well as light chewers. Customized for a growing puppy’s baby teeth, gentle pink & blue rubber toys help teach appropriate chewing behavior & make crate training easier. When stuffed & frozen, they also become the perfect outlet for teething puppies & extend playtime.

PURPLE

Just like puppies & adult dogs, senior dogs still need daily play sessions to live happier & healthier lives. The purple KONG Senior is made from comfortable, soft rubber for gentle chewers & aging dogs who may be missing teeth but still love a good challenge. Not only does KONG Senior encourage playtime throughout your pup’s golden years, but it also provides critical mental & physical stimulation that keeps them feeling young.

RED

The red rubber KONG Classic has been a staple for dogs around the world for nearly 50 years! Its unique, natural rubber formula offers ultra-durability & an erratic bounce, making it ideal for most adult dogs. KONG’s red rubber withstands average chewers while offering a mentally stimulating play experience that exercises their instinctual behaviors. The red KONG Classic is also ideal for stuffing & freezing to create an even more enticing challenge.

BLACK

For the most powerful chewers, the black KONG Extreme is the ultimate challenge. The most durable strength of KONG rubber, the selection of black rubber toys offers a long-lasting solution that provides enrichment & satisfies the instinctual needs of even the toughest chewers. Stuff & freeze any of the black rubber Extreme toys for even longer-lasting fun.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE

Whether your companion is a 5-pound Chihuahua or a 200-pound Mastiff, there’s a KONG toy that’s just right for them! KONGs come in six different sizes, with a general guideline based on your dog’s weight:

XS — Up to 5 lbs

S — Up to 20 lbs

M — 5–35 lbs

L — 30-65 lbs

XL — 60-90 lbs

XXL — 85 lbs and over

To determine the best size KONG for your dog, first consider their head & mouth size. The largest ring of the KONG should be bigger than the back of your dog’s mouth. If you have a multi-dog household, size all your KONGs to the largest dog as a safety precaution. If your dog is between sizes or you are uncertain, it’s always best to size up.

Choosing the right KONG is key to ensuring your dog’s play remains safe, engaging, & enjoyable. With a variety of sizes £ strengths available, you can find the right toy for your dog’s needs.

If you have any questions, then please do reach out as I'm more than happy to help.

I'm truly wiped out from this weekend. It has been wonderful meeting so many lovely event hosts, stall holders, customers and their dogs. At both events I met who bought treats for their gorgeous dog both days! I really need to get someone to come with me so I get to walk around and get myself some lovely bits as I've spotted shower whip I'd like from and I kept getting wonderful smells from some of the other stalls!

Already thinking about next weekend? Pop along to Elvaston Castle where there will be stalls in the courtyard, including us!
