About the 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.

In the second place you should think at the activity level of your dog. Some dogs, especially from some particular breeds, are hyper active and these dogs will need all the time to do something or to chew on something, while other dogs are the gentle kind, they will prefer toys that they can cuddle with. The Kong Dog Toy is the perfect choice for the hyper active type of dogs. The hyper active dogs will consume some time and enough energy trying to understand how to open it up and how to reach at whatever it is that's inside. On the other side, if your dog is the gentle or even the sleepy type, the perfect choice are the stuffed toys, so easy to cuddle with.

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.
