KONGExtreme Dog Toy 2-Pack, Large - Tough Chew Toys for Aggressive Chewers - Black Durable Rubber

My dogs are very aggressive chewers and these Kongs hold up well. They have had them for a couple of months and they still look new.

Product as described. Durable.

All the reviews/description for the black Kongs always say that they are good for aggressive chewers. While this is completely true, they never mention how they are for the self-soothing chewers. These are amazing for the mouthy dogs. We have several aggressive chewers and one that chews when he's nervous. He can break tiny pieces off the "normal" Kongs, but these just bounce back. I am not sure what he would do without them, but I am positive he would find something to destroy. We purchase them from time to time, not because there are quality issues, but because I feel they should be replaced after the 500th time in the dishwasher. It's completely a "me" problem.

I got the Extreme Kong (black), because my rat terrier had already torn apart a Classic Kong (red). He goes through plush squeaky toys in no time flat. He has chewed pieces out of one Extreme Kong, but not the other two. What have I learned to keep him from shredding Kongs?1) Always supervise your dog with this toy (at least until you know how well it will hold up). Yes, the instructions say this. It's not just CYA legal BS. Until you know for SURE that *your* dog can't chew through the Extreme Kong, don't leave him unattended with this toy. (Unfortunately, this means that I can't give it to him in his kennel to alleviate boredom when I leave the house.)2) If your dog has already destroyed other toys, consider sizing up from the "recommended" size. My dog weighs 25 lb, which is solidly in the "medium" range, but the Large Kong is better for his extreme chewing. The Extreme Kong he tore apart was a Medium. He hasn't managed to tear apart the Large yet.3) Don't fill it all the way with peanut butter. Stuff the bottom 1/2 - 2/3 with dry food or treats and the clog the top 1/3 or so with something soft like peanut butter. If you fill the whole thing with something that's impossible to get out without tearing the toy apart, your dog will tear the toy apart.4) Wash it on a regular basis. I have more than one Kong so I can still use one while the other is being washed. I like to soak mine in warm, soapy water for a few hours before sticking it in the dishwasher. This seems to get it clean even if there's peanut butter in the crevices. Dried on cheese can be a bit harder to clean out (I use the pointy end of a spoon or even a toothbrush to get at those bits).5) If you notice your Kong is showing wear, replace it. Once it starts to give, your extreme chewer can destroy it pretty fast. Don't let him get that far!No toy is indestructible, but the Extreme Kong lasts longer than anything else I've found. Read the insert that comes with your Kong and follow the recommendations to keep your dog safe and entertained.

Durable, good size and hours of fun for dogs. Our dogs love these crazy toys.

The media could not be loaded. I have a pitbull mix and an Alaskan Malamute and these are perfect for them! We freeze them with peanut butter and they keep them entertained for a while when we leave for work. Long lasting and great quality for my tough chewers!

I have two 95 lb dogs. The Kong are their favorites. The only issue I have is they smell like rubber. I wash them after every use inside & out. But the dogs don’t mind and they hold up to their chewing. It was worth the purchase.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It’s one of the few toys my aggressive chewer can’t destroy.
