Keep Fido Happy With KONG Dog Toys

Your pooch deserves a treat just like every other member of the family - and what could be more fun than a KONG dog toy? The classic KONG dog chew is more engaging and interactive than other toys out there, and is great for dogs who are teething, suffering from separation anxiety, or just need some stimulation. Look on eBay and treat your four-legged friend.

The KONG brand now creates a huge number of dog toys and accessories, but it's the Classic toy that owners all over the world keep coming back to. It looks a bit like a snowman, with a hollow centre that can be filled with treats for your dog. Just fill it up and you'll find that it soothes and distracts your pooch.

• Since your dog has to "hunt" for the food inside, a KONG Classic dog toy will give him a sense of satisfaction. Dogs have evolved to want to complete tasks, and that's exactly what this toy provides.
• The rubber of the toy is good for your dog's teeth and can help keep good oral health, which is a particular problem for older canines.
• A KONG chew toy is longer-lasting than other treats, which might be finished in minutes. That makes it great to distract dogs who are anxious or in need of calming down.
• These toys uniquely stimulate both your dog's physical needs and their mental abilities, by forcing them to think about how to get to the treats inside.

A KONG dog ball is very easy to keep clean. In fact, it's dishwasher-safe. Just make sure to keep it on the top shelf of the dishwasher when you run it through the cycle. If you don't have a dishwasher, you can clean it in the sink with regular detergent.

There are literally hundreds of options. A lot depends on your dog's personal preferences. Dogs have different tastes, after all. You can try regular dog food, meat, or peanut butter. Some owners like to build layers of treats inside, so their dogs can have a full gourmet experience. For longer-lasting fun, freeze your filled dog treat dispenser, and let your pet work his way through the frozen food.

There are different types of KONG rubber dog toy to suit different dogs. You can get a toy especially for puppies, or for older dogs. There are also special KONG toys for dogs with powerful jaws, so you're sure to find the right one for your canine companion.
