Choosing a Kong Dog Toy

By Rosalba Knowles


There are different types of dog toys in the market that help dogs in a number of ways. The Kong dog toy is one of the most popular toys in these modern days that has rapidly grown in popularity. The toy is designed in a way that it keeps the dog busy and at the same time, the dog has something good to chew, which basically prevents it from chewing other things that are not meant to be chewed. It is usually difficult for any dog to resist this toy and that is basically the objective of the toy.

On the pet supplies market today, any owner can find a large variety of types and designs of such toys. Before deciding to buy, it is essential for you to consider a number of factors when purchasing these toys. You should firstly think at the type of chewer your dog is. He or she may be a gentle chewer, and this case you don't need to look for a particular material, but if otherwise you have to make sure that the material the toys are built from is as strong and durable as possible. With this kind of toys, you can be certain that your dog is out the way of any harm.

The second thing that you should consider is the activity level of your dog. There are some dogs that are hyper active and want to chew on everything while there are others that are very gentle and always want toys that they can cuddle with. If your dog is hyperactive then the best toy for it is the Kong Dog Toy. This is mainly because it will take some time trying to figure out how to open it up and remove whatever it is that's inside. If however your dog is a gentle one then it is perfectly suited for the stuffed toys that are easy to cuddle.

You should also consider the size of the dog. Not only want you that your dog has fun, but also to be safe. The toys you get for your dog should not be too big or too small, but compatible with the size of the dog. A pet gets easily bored of a toy that is too big and cannot be carried around by the dog, because he or she will not have as much fun playing with it. The case of a too small toy is even worse, as the dog might swallow it and even choke with. So it is of great importance that you ensure that the toy you settle for is the right size for the dog.

Another important factor that should be considered is whether the dog has special needs. There are some dogs that have physical challenges and they cannot use certain toys. Ensure therefore that you consider these special needs so that they can be perfectly accommodated with the Kong Dog Toy you settle for. This usually depends on the challenges of the dog. There are those that have sight problems and the toys that work well for them are those that enhance their sense of smell and physical abilities.
