WHO KNEW?

The company founder, Joe Markham, created the KONG product in the 1970s, when he noticed his German shepherd Fritz damaging his teeth by chewing rocks. He found that Fritz enjoyed chewing on a hard rubber Volkswagen Bus suspension device, and spent about six years experimenting with different compounds to produce a chew toy of similar size and shape that he could sell to pet owners. A friend commented that the toy looked like "an earplug for King Kong"—hence its name.[1] Originally, Markham sold most of his products to Israel, Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom, but the KONG began a rise in sales in the United States in the mid-1980s, and has remained popular there subsequently.[2] The book Planet Dog: A Doglopedia (2005) describes the KONG as "possibly the best-known dog toy in the world".[3]

Obviously there are going to be lots of fireworks during this weekend at all different times of the day. Even if your dog is usually great off lead please keep them on lead. You never know if a loud bang could uncharacteristically spook them causing them to panic and run ❤

We will be outside during the night to keep all your dogs happy. Thank fully with us being in the country side we won’t hear many fireworks at all
