Reminder - No toy is indestructible
Kong's are a fantastic toy for MOST dogs but not ALL dogs.
My dog has a very strong chew style. I don't leave her unattended with toys because she will tear them apart.
I decided to try the Kong as a way to extend dinner time; Fill it with kibble and put peanut butter on the bottom. She did great licking the peanut butter and getting the kibble. It took 20 minutes. After the food was gone, she gnawed at the top and ripped the toy open in 10 minutes.
The reason for this review to remind everyone to monitor your dogs with toys. People use the Kong to help with separation anxiety and boredom. Before leaving your dog unattended with a toy, make sure that you know that the toy/dog combo is OK.
I'm giving the Kong 4 stars because I know it's a good product, but obviously didn't live up to my needs.
In case anyone is wondering, the one toy that can withstand her chewing is the Goughnuts Maxx. The toys from Goughnuts are pricey, but have a 100% replacement policy. They are made with a inner safety indicator (red means stop) and different strengths of exterior material.
