Tasty Tuesday - KONG Original PRODUCT REVIEW

Who doesn't know and love Kong dog products? And most of all, who doesn't know and love Kong Original? Not me! I love them! And today, we have a Product Review especially for them!

As a first-time dog owner, since having Earl I have grown to adore and look up to the range of Kong products, especially the range of Kong Originals, shaped in the typical Kong logo shape, in which you stuff the middle with food and create a stimulating game for your pooch.

Just click on the logo or this sentence to visit the website!

So today, EW brings you a product review on this popular and much-loved dog interactive toy.

Functions

Kong Originals are designed to be stuffed with food and given to your dog who then must work to remove all the food from the inside. Depending on the creativity of your stuffing, the food inside a Kong can keep your dog working for hours! 

Types for different dogs

Kong are kind and have created a Kong Original for every age, size and chewing temperament of dogs! They come in:

Original (red) - small, medium, large, giant (XL) - for dogs who have an average chewing temperament and are middle aged.

Extreme (black) - for dogs who have a powerful, high chewing temperament and would be more likely to destroy Kong Originals. 

Puppy (tie dye colours) - for puppies, good for puppies teething with soft and delicate mouths.

Senior (Colours not red, black, or tie dye) - for old dogs, with sensitive, delicate mouths.

Your dog's Kong should be suited to his/her age, chewing temperament and size to enable the correct type of appropriate and safe playing.

Dogs need to play policy

At the Kong Company, Kong believes that dogs have to play. Kong products have been made safe enough that as long as your dog is suited to his appropriate size, age, and chewing temperament, you can happily leave your dog with a Kong alone, encouraging self-play and brain stimulation. Did you know? Mental exercise is known to tire dogs out more than physical exercise? I know! Mind blowing!

Our own personal views and experiences with the product

I bought Earl the Kong Extreme, because he is a powerful chewer and likely to damage the softer type. It has so far proved indestructible, and the best toy I have ever bought him.

All you need to do is wash it out after every session, to prevent mould, dirt, and/or contamination. 

Earl loves and enjoys his Kong experience, and I am 100% happy also with the product. Here are a list of pros and cons we have found since first experiencing the Kong:

Pros:

~ A variety of Kong stuffing products under Kong's name already out there on the market and online
~ Takes time for Earl to get the food out from the middle
~ Can be frozen
~ Proven indestructible
~ Easy to wash
~ Mentally stimulating

Cons:

(This is more a con on the Kong stuffing biscuits) ~ Easy for dog to get out, takes hardly any time

Well, what can I say? I have no personal Kong Original cons!! What a great sign!

Kong stuffing products

~ Kong Original Stuffing Biscuits (small, medium, large, giant (XL))
~ Kong Stuffing Paste 

And what we always round up with after every product review… What we rate the Kong Original personally…

That's right! A FULL 5 PAW RATING! Can't get any higher than that!

Conclusion in barks

In conclusion, the Kong Original is our favourite dog toy for sale. It offers not only stimulation, but thinking and creativity on both dog and owner's part, plus encourages self-play in the dog and independent learning. 

Highly recommended by us.

This was another Earl's World! doggy product review!

Hope this was of help to you, and enjoy stuffing Kongs for your own dog(s)!
